creating an engraving cutter

Post by Terry McCafferty »

If I want to engrave text "between the lines" with a v cutter,can I do it with VM5 SP6? To create the cutter in the librry, would you input the appropriate parameters in a taperd mill?

Thanks for any help.

That is exactly how I do it.
I like to engrave using a centerdrill as my cutter.
I wish VM would allow us to use drill tools as a cutter and cutting tools as a drill but it does not.
I create my centerdrill as tapered cutter and it works quite good.
