Hi --

You might want to look at the Quick Start thread, which give some examples of engraving done with v-carve pro on a Zenbot 1216. Here is a link:
Zenbot quick start notes

Message #12 is a "Quick Engrave" example done with a diamond drag bit on aluminium stock. Message #15 is an example of cutting colorcore lettering as a “profile” using the “one-line fonts” selection in the text dialogue.

Without knowing more about the spindle you are using and the type/sizes of tooling you have available it will be hard to offer specific advice.

HTH.
