    Default Centerline cut depth?

    Is there a way to adjust the cut depth when using Centerline text? The depth box is grayed out.

    Centerline depth is determined by the Font you select, plus the ability to deepen that cut by using BOLD.

    As you select the Font, pay attention to the selection sample (in the Left pane) as it give you a hint as to how it is going to be carved in a single pass. Dark & wide means the carve will be deep. If you add BOLD to one of these "dark/wide" Fonts, you deepen then further.

    Another way to get deeper, is in designer select the 60 deg bit, but when you go to carve the piece use the 90 deg bit. This can be trial and error depending on the different fonts.
    If it doesn't fit force it. If it breaks then it needed replacing anyway.
