Would like to cut letters (NAMES) just like you would use a scrol saw where each letter is connected to each other and all letters are connected to the board they are cut from? I hope this makes sence?

Thanks
Taz

Taz,

There are two ways to do that. 1) use Designer, choose Text tool, choose the font you wish to use, then write your text, choose RASTER then click OK. Now just establish the Depth you wish the letters to be cut. If you wish the letters to be connected to each other, choose something like a script font. Remember that you can choose any TrueType or Open font that you have installed on your system. Some fonts will work better than others, depending on the size and depth you choose. Remember that you will be CARVING these using the carving bit. 2) you can make your text in a vector (CorelDraw) or raster (PhotoShop) program and make it into a BMP or JPG raster file and import that into Designer and carve it.
