VB and the development of wizards / Any text wizzards for marking parts using 4th axis rotation?

Sorry if this has been brought up before, I don't spend a lot of time in this forum when my machine is running well. Luckily for me, it is running fine.
I have a need to engrave lettering on cylindrical parts held in my A axis chuck (oriented paralell to the X axis travel). The wizzards I have work great for normal marking on flat surfaces but I need to maintain a .003" depth of cut. I believe that would limit the marking function to using the X and A axis to complete the letters/numbers.
Is there already a wizzard out there that I am not aware of ? -Mike
