    What is Grade Engrave?

    Can someone explain what grade engrave is? Does it put a bevel around items being cut or engraved? When is it useful? I haven't tried it yet but I'd kind of like to have an idea of what it does beforehand.

    Thanks

    It makes the letters wider at the base than at the top, for strength, for things like rubber stamps. In Epilog laser terms it's called a "shoulder".
