    Default centerlined text

    Anyone out there experimented with centerlining text with a v-groove bit? I'm wondering which fonts come out the best. I know some of you, who are better at this than myself, have tried various fonts. Thought I might pick your brains and save some time and wood. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

    I have tried 'dauphin' and is come out to choppy. I have not tried any others yet. If you set up your project and view the cut path. Any pattern change WILL show on your project. That may save you some sawdust.

    and 'handwriting-dakota' worked well on another w/ a 60* bit
