Try Sigmaker:

I almost forgot this program. We found it to be useful when we
released Vfontz, and before Vcarvz was available. It takes a scanned
image & converts it to a character in a Tru-Type font. If you have a
Cad-Cam program that can turn a Tru-Type character into a machinable
tool path, it's a very reasonable way to get a scanned image,
especially a signature, into a tool path. Only $29.00. Very good
raster to vector included. The downloadable demo only had 3 trials,
and I couldn't get it figured out that fast, others may be quicker
than I , but for $29.00 it is a really good raster to vector,
supports several graphic file formats, including AI,tiff, bmp.

If you download the VectorCam demo, it will work with Sigmaker to
create the tool path. It's good for 30 days.
