"Thanks for that tip Pat. My bench is certainly space challenged and that seems a great place for on one side frequently used tools and the other not so often used. Beats opening a drawer for those useful but not frequently used tools."

Pat,

When I machine a simple letter such as an S in Script MT Bold 2mm thick 10mm high it comes out a little rough. When I get the letter cast I need to do a lot of work cleaning the sides of the letter. I tried working with the "curvature graph on" like in your video but it didn't make much difference no matter what I did. I use a pyramid or long pointy tool to machine with. Any ideas on improving the performance?
