Tom,
Also a tip I got here was to run the same toolpath twice. It works great.
Because you're not actually cutting anything, just "duplicate" the toolpath and then "edit" the bit so that it can do a full depth pass and speed the feed up.
For instance, yesterday I did a new design with a .125"60degree engraving bit. First pass was actually cutting Purpleheart so it was 1,.5,16K. So I duplicated the toolpath and edited the name to 1B Speedpass, and edited feeds to 3,2,17K and it cleaned up all the cuts Fast! It came out almost burnished
Darn, with forum change it won't take bigger pics
Also, not seeing preview of attachments like I was? Is there a setting I have to change? Only happens since Nancy "improved" forum
Hope this helped
Play with it.
