[waynethornton]

I need help when carving letter .250 depth hight 100 on white pine. I get chip out on my letter even when using best opti. Can someone please help me.
Thanks

If you add a little "Draft" to your text and space them out a bit,
it normally reduces the chip out. :wink:

Here's one of the threads about using draft

Any input on this project before I load 'er up? (http://forum.carvewright.com/showthread.php?t=6039&highlight=using+Draft)

Man, that thread seems a lifetime ago :p

That beer sign was the first thing I carved, and the letters chipped badly - draft is the way to go with your text - run a test carve - one simple line of text - with no, small, med and large draft. You'll be surprised, the text actually looks better with draft than without.

Buying the Centerline Text option is good too.
