Re: engraving software

Elliot,
Because of your original post and it's responses,
I just now downloaded DeskEngrave and have to say that
it produces G-code that seems 100% compatible with
CNCPro. I've tried several fonts, etc, and all cut just
fine. I think it is up to you to set the depth of cut
to allow for the angle of the cutter tho.
Thanks to all
