Centerline text?

[Dodadd1]

Do you assign a bit when using centerline txt?

[chief2007]

With the centerline text it defaults to the 90 degree bit. You can change it to the 60 degree bit if you desire.

Thanks! I learn something every time I come here

If you already have not, check out Tips and Tricks on the LHR page.

If you design a project Text and assign the V90 bit but actually install the V60 bit the letters will cut funny... A "I" will have a Y top and in inverted Y on the bottom. How do I know that....? LOL... We are always learning.

You can assign any of the bits to centerline text. You would most likely only want to use the 90 and 60 V-bits but depending on what you are looking to do, others could be assigned. You can just mess around in designer assigning bits to see what effect it has on the project.

I agree with Ton80, depending on the font selected you can come up with some interesting letters, but if the font squares off the corners,use only the 90 or 60 deg. bits.

Yes some fonts work better than others. You can also try using the font in "bold" to get a deeper cut. I make western type signs and like the font Rio Oro in bold.

I think that IS what he said.

No, I think it is backwards. The machine cuts shallow with the 90 and deeper with the 60. So, if you tell the machine to use the 90 and then put in the 60, you get a shallow 60 cut. If you tell the machine to use the 60 and then put in the 90 you get a deep 90 cut.

Heck, I wonder if I've been getting it wrong all this time... I've been doing it the other way- your explanation certainly makes sense though
