quick WRITE wizard question

[SScnc]

What is the "N" tool selection for in the write wizard ? I changed it a couple of times and it made no difference. Problem I'm having is it's leaving some material in some of the letters like in an S.

Thanks for any info

It's Tool No., or Tool number. It has no effect on the actual letters. I think it probably just adds a tool change to that tool # in the code.

OK, thanks.

Is there any setting that you know of that will keep from leaving some material in the letters that should be removed ?

[ger21]

No, I don't think so. Why not just use a slightly larger tool?

[SScnc]

I thought of that too but you would lose details of the font. I guess the only way to get it the way I want is to forget about the wizard and go the CAD/CAM route.

Thanks for your replies and help.

i would think using a smaller tool, especially for the inside of letters..
sometimes a 1/8 or 1/16 can get where a 1/4 cant

?

That's what I'm using, (1/8") and it's leaving some material inside the letters, I haven't found out how to have the wizard make additional passes. The letter size I'm using is only 1" high.
