2. One thing I want to do is cut out letters in thin wood. I used one program to save letters as DXF and then i converted them to gcode and then loaded it into Mach 2. When i run it and watch it cut, for letters like A, B, D, etc. it cuts the outside of the letters first and then the inside. Won't I need the inside cut first? Otherwise, the letters will not stay down if they are cut loose from the wood for the inside to be cut out. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
