Machining time
Gentlemen I could use some help. I'm making up a sign using the outline of the state of Minnesota. I'm also putting some text onto the outline. I'm using the Vcarve toolpath and it's doing what it's supposed to do except it takes forever(1 hr 40 mins. to carve 90 characters. I've tried setting feed rate at 100 and it does not seem to make it any faster. Not sure if I've explained everything just right.

It may be the font that has too many nodes or tiny loops that cause problems.
Could you post the file for us to look at?
