How to cut a 1 1/2 in thick letter completely out. Is that possible?
The maximum cut out depth is 1". Your options would be to either carve the letters out as pierced using the long 1/8" bit or using the out line feature and assign a bit to scribe the letter path and then cut them out with a scroll saw or cut two 3/4" letters and glue them up to make 1 1/2" letter.

This is an example of what Floyd is talking about. Really thin tails on the letters will probably break off so your choice of fonts can really make a big difference. Grain direction may be a factor also.
As Floyd said, you will need the long 1/8" carving bit and Designer Version 3.

I would cut out a hardboard pattern and trace it on the 1.5 inch wood and rough cut it out bigger on a band saw. Then double stick tape the pattern on top and use a guided router bit to finish it up.

So what if I cut letter .75 and do a flip cut .75 and do center tabs? Is that even an option? And what kind of sled or carrier would I use to not waste board? TIA
In the carvewright?
Can you explain the piercing and can you buy a 2 inch bit?
How would I go about doing a cutout with shapes or letter with 1/4wood?
Mount the 1/4" wood on top of another board. Make sure you set the board thickness in designer as 1/4" .

How do you mount on another board? And this would have tabs?
