What did you use for tooling,how much cleanup,etc? wholepair 01-30-2006, 12:10 AM I used three tools... tool 1. 1/2" Dia 2flute for the initial outline and first rough tool 2. 1/4" Dia 2flute for a secondary roughing path tool 3. 1/8" Dia 4flute ball endmill to finish/engrave surface wrapped letters The times for each where roughly... tool 1. about 5 minutes tool 2. about 5 minutes tool 3. 1 hour and ten minutes @ 6000rpm and 6000*4*0.001 = 24ipm This was a one off gov job so I was'nt to interested in a perfectly optimised speed and feed scenario - what I wanted was a super finish - and I got it!

You could drill some vacuum holes in the letters, mount it to a plate and Vac form some thin(.03) PETG over that. Then use the PETG for a chocolate mold! Just in case you have more than one Valentine? LOL! SWEET!
