Its me again, I have tryed Tim way. And I think the results shows that I need a really good router bit for V-carving.
Here are examples. In first pic I have not changed any cutting parameters (they were set to cut with 8mm / 60 degree bit). And second try was with parameters matching router bit.
Take a look:
The spindle speed were set to "5" It means that nearly 28k rpm (I think so) and cnc speed was set to 360 mm per min.
Its shame that I can't get right router bit in Lithuania . Maybe You guys can give me a direct link where I can buy such bit in Europe (with mm not inch ) I know the list with manufacturers in Vectric site, but I cant find that kind bit .
Thank you for help.

Re: need some help with V_carving
the bit shown as 12mm (1/2") is actually 60 degrees not 45
try changing the parameter with that

Looks to me like he's got a bit of burning going on there too, might want to either slow the router down a little, and/or increase the feed rate. I run about 800-1000mm/min with my router all the way down (18k rpm I think) using a 1/2" 90 degree two flute bit. For most bits, you'll want to have 'chips' flying, not 'dust'. This will help the lifespan of the blade too.
