I have a pocket around a design that is .125" deep and will be cleared with a .25" endmill. I want to use a 60* v bit for the detail pass, but the recommended depth per pass is .06". Should I keep the depth per pass at .06" or change it to .125"? Thanks for any help you can provide.
You can leave it at 0.06 and it will make 3 depth passes to achieve the 0.125 depth of your design.
With it being a detail pass, do you think it could handle doing it all in one pass at .125?
I would hate say yes without seeing the artwork or the material.
I do that a lot at.08 and .1 and have not had any issues.

I went ahead and did .08 per pass and it worked out nicely. Much cleaner than I anticipated. I still need to do some light sanding, but I am very happy with the detail pass the vbit was able to do.
Did you make this on easel? I can’t figure out how to cut out background to leave letters raised?

Place a rectangle surrounding the text, right click the rectangle and select send to back, set the text to 0 depth and wallah your text is raised and the background is carved in.
Heres some more detail showing stacked raised text.
