Just a quick carve on the outline of our club’s logo, but it went so smoothly I wanted to thank everyone at Inventables for making and supporting this great machine, and everyone here on this forum for the wealth of information & patience on display.
Kudos all around!

Great look. Nice job.
If you like plywood, down-cut bits are the magic. You may want to try.
I love anything comes from plywood. When I cut letters, I measure the layer, adjust my dept to clear layer and expose second layer which mostly different color.
Hi Alan, thank you!
I noticed during my first carve that it looked much nicer after the first pass, and that successive passes didn’t really add anything. So the letters I did just what you suggested, and it looks very nice.
For the down-cut bits, is the point to reduce the fuzz around the edges of the cuts?
Most definitely, down-cut bits giving very clean and sharp edges if you’re not carving very deep. What you’re doing is needs down-cut bit. You’ll be amazed to result.
