I was asked to engrave a couple of slides in Century Bold and Century Bold Italic, I used 30 degree V 1/8 inch engraving cutters running at around 16000 rpm with really slow feed to get clean smooth edges in the soft slide castings.
This was the first time I've used V-Carve in BobCad/Cam and I'm really impressed with the 3D cutter path generation and the sharp, bright look of the cut faces in the letters, I'm afraid my photography has failed to show the detail though

They've now gone for DuraCoat prior to return to the customer.
