I have attempted engraving. The Maslow4.0 handles it well. I tried using a 60 deg., but Easel produces very large files that the Maslow can’t handle (7 mb). I switched to a 1/16” (.063) endmill with a .032 depth/pass and cut “on the path” to reduce the file size. I also use Inkscape with the Hershey Text extension. Hershey Text converts text objects to single line paths. This is extremely helpful when engraving without producing huge .gcode or .nc files. I have included a project made for my daughter as an example. The cuts were made with multiple passes to get the 1/8” deapth and Maslow4 tracked and repeated beautifully!
