Centerline Wizards Apply Within

Thanks CNS, thats exactly what I needed to do to compare the fonts.

I think the radical differences from one font to the next is one of the things that had been a stumbling block for me. Like you said sometimes just a change in font will make it not even come close to fitting in a given area.

Ike, good point about the 22 degree bit. I was looking at eagle at bits but I missed that veining bit. That may have some interesting possibilities too.

What changes Ike?

Glad I could help - a lot of what we do is really trial by fire - you gotta screw up in order to learn how not to do it (sounds like life to me).

Man, that would make for a great country song...somebody call Darryl Worley.

Are you remembering to select V60 in Designer for the project? It is possible to design in V90 and place a V60 bit in the machine with V90 selected and get strange font spacing.....

................ you gotta screw up in order to learn how not to do it..............

Jeez...... I should be a real pro by now then!

Digital, yep the 60 vs. 90 degree is something I found out about the hard way to.

Ike I didn't see your mpc before but I will take a look now, sneaking it in with an edit are you?....lol

I re did the text and tuned things up a bit, it's carving right now. Ya I know I said I was going to carve a test board of text first, but........ I'm a slow learner, what can I say.

Here is the carve from today. Not the best photo, but.............

Lucidia Fax, spaced 50, not bold, not italic, 60 degree bit.

I still had a few problem areas but it's getting better.

I have a question everyone always talks about V-bits where do i purchase these 90,60,45,22 v-bits at?

Thank's

PM rjustice, I think he carries these but not positive. May do a google search for router bits for what your needs are.

Thanks MT, I still had an issue with some area of the text, the middle of the "A" for example.

I don't think Ron has V bits but I might be mistaken.

The CW store has 60 90 or eagle america or almost any bit supplier should have them.

It wasn't much I changed it to 25 spacing and it made the lettering a bit larger, but other then that it was not too different. Oh and raised the pattern height.

Besides it looked great so you are a pro!
