Cutting out font

Post by franky996 »

is there a function to cut out a font in a single cut, along the outer edge or do they always have to be cut out by machining the whole space out? Takes much longer and isn't necessary , if there s a way to just cut along the outer edge. In this sample piece, I used a 1/8th in diameter bit and the pocket cut.
