    V carving text on circumference of a cylinder

    I am trying to v carve (engrave) text on the circumference of a cylinder using a 90 degree V-bit (or 45 degree taper tool in madCAM). The toolpath generated does not appear to move in the Z axis, only X and A.
    It does appear to work on a 2D test, as demonstrated in the tutorial video, but not around a cylinder. Has anyone figured out how to do this?

    Thanks in advance!
