Hello, I am trying to carve straight lines in easel. I am making them .25 wide the length of the board. I have them drawn in easel, was using 1/8 bit and changed to 1/4 bit and the lines where still there. I was trying to add numbers and they did not show up so I added a 60 deg bit and the letters appeared. I noticed though the lines i had would be cut too with the 60 deg bit. So I took it out, when all was said and done with my 1/4 bit selected I was left with a bunch of crosses. But if I select the 1/8 bit again my lines come back in the preview. What am I doing wrong and what can I do to fix this. Thanks for any help.

I myself would just make two files , one for the 1/4" line bits and a file for the Text. I would home the machine each time I change the bit.
Then there is this:
