Beveled flat top text

[ljdm]

Another question for the pros...what's the trick to getting flat top text with beveled sides? Shape editor, iso-form, doesn't do it(at least not for me).Any tips? Yeah, I know, experiment....I have been trying all different ways to make sawdust out of my projects, just looking for some advice to make life a little easier. Thanks

depending on the depth of the bevel if it is less then your v bit just run a profile pass on the line with it to the depth you want. if it is deeper then your bit can cut in a single pass offset it to the outside and vcarve it. that may take some playing around to get the depth right.

Been playing with shape editor, used a different setting and got the flat top text to work, now I see how to bevel edges........thanks

Lou, to get flat tops with bevel sides will depend on the font you select. Pick a wider font to work with or use the font editor and increase the width to get to what you want.
