I need to engrave plaques using a small CNC mill. Black plastic over brass stock. I apologize if I am not using the correct terms.

Currently I am trying to find the right software. I read somewhere that some programs will raise a v bit to reduce line width. Some fonts need this. I have not seen any software to do it.

Currently I am playing with VisTool Engraving but there seems to be no support the program. The help files are missing. I have generated the gcode for a test that I will mill tomorrow. It is the sort of program I am looking for. Mostly I can take true type fonts and it will generate a pattern to cut out the interior.

I am still crawling on this but need to find my way soon.

Currently we have a diamond drag bit and a flat bottomed milling bit (D) .030 in. I like the idea of a rotating cutter more so then the scratch/drag.

What software do you recommend ?
