As you have Modelled the Text with vertical sides I am assuming that is how you want the job to look like, see image below, if so then the Engrave toolpath is not the correct one for the job, may I suggest using a 2D Pocket toolpath as shown.

If you want Tabs at the sides then you need to make your Stock larger or use Points to place Tabs at each end in between the Tenons as in the attached file.

I suggest that you use the 3D Adaptive toolpath to rough out the majority of the material around your Tenons and just use the Parallel for the Finish as it really is just a finishing toolpath.

The very small text around the edge of the model you will need to use a very small cutter (1/32) as you have all sharp corners in the text you will get the Radius of the tool so the finished text will not be exactly as you have modelled.

Anyway, try running the simulation and see if it is something close to what you want and is of some help :slightly_smiling_face: :slightly_smiling_face:
