Nice - I also went with some wooden signage to test out my machine for the first time, before moving onto harder materials.

Did you use a V bit for that? and of course what feeds and speeds, as I'm always looking to see what people are using to save me some time and experimenting?

Also - how do you find VCarve? I have Cut2D and Cut3D, which I'm getting grips with, but have aspirations for "etching" designs into aluminium sheet for a project from line drawings (raster rather than vector unfortunately) and wonder how it fairs at doing that kind of thing.
