    he Phillies baseball coasters was traced for a file picture I imported in to trace.
    The Eagle was trace right off the ptn, since the vector file was too busy for a 60 deg. V bit. I had to remove some of the lines
    myself.
    You really can't use a carved ptn on a coaster, it could leave a unsmooth surface and you don't know what they are going to place
    on the coaster.

    You could use a font and carve them with centerline, that would be a vector carving.
