Randy,

We have not heard from you in quite awhile! I think that you and I joined here at about the same time.

It sounds as though you are doing large text. There are bits for that (not LHR) that have a "flat" at the end rather than a "Point" in order to clean out the bottom. The downside is that the corners will not be sharp.

In order to get it both-ways, you are going to have to do some hand-carving I believe. Maybe others have another solution.

The size of the text and hold bold it is determines cut depth too.
