Hi Rob,
Curious one this.
I do a lot of laminate engraving and have never seen anything quite like it.
Because the effect is not so pronounced on the letter N where the diagonal is nearer to 45 degrees, I would suspect that the software you are using is at fault and the machine is only following the GCode it has been given.
If the individual letters were created to a higher resolution I suspect everything would be OK. Perhaps you could try the attached code (which was created using the Mach Write wizard) and report back on the result.
Tweakie.
