    Did 2 relief carvings around a hickory shovel handle with it. .208 deep
    One pass to simply program. .100 ball
    Pretty interesting results.

    The CNC Wrapper is well worth the $29.00 or whatever is was. It allows a whole new range of artsy stuff.
    Especially since I have thousands of 2.5d relief carving programs for the Taig and small type mills.
    I write them for 2 or 3 different mills for the same image. Generally at least .5 deep to get the image jumping out
    at you. I was wrapping around a lot of 1" dia. Stuff and did pretty well. Bigger diameter would work better.
    Have not tried text wrap yet, shouldn't be any problems though.

    I had a look at cncwrapper, but when I was about to install the trial, my anti-virus was not happy with it. I have NO idea if this was just a false positive. Being the coward that I am, I looked farther and found d2nc. A tad more pricey, but it does what cncwrapper does, plus a lot more to make my life easier. I never looked back.

    My $0.02 - inflation corrected worth almost nothing.
