Below is the result of a logo toolpathed using VCarve Wizard and engraved into brass on a Roland EGX 600.

The job is 50mm (2") diameter and was engraved using a 60 degree (included angle) cutter with a 0.2mm (0.008") Tip diameter. Spindle speed was 25,000 rpm and a feed rate of 2mm / sec (0.080" / sec).

The detail is 1.5mm (0.060") deep and this was engraved in multiple Z level passes of 0.25mm (0.010") per pass.

The material is free cutting brass and dosen't need any coolant or lubrication.

Nice one Tony

You should have done it in reverse to create a seal, Just another of many uses for VCarve Wizard.
