Engraving thin features

[zaror1992]

I have been trying different ways to machine a wax stamp in wood but I guess the features are too thin for any chamfer mill. I have tried with multiple bits but none of them has been able to properly machine the word "home" since I think its too thin, do anyone has any recomendation besides widening the font?. I'm using a 30° engraving bit very similar to an "Amana tool 45630" an even tried using 0 mm tip diameter with no luck.

ps: english is not my first language so please forgive any mistake.

Have home in its own toolpath then the cutter will go as deep as it really can fit, you can get some of those cheap engraving bits they work ok.

Like these, they will make it a bit easier to do what is needed to be done.
