I got some problems with v-carving. I made a lot of this logo (15) without any issues. I use Vectric Aspire

 ![image](https://forum.sienci.com/uploads/default/original/2X/b/b9a105baf0b8bae66f54a89f18926db810f03045.jpeg) the corners of letters aren’t sharp and it’s ugly when I pour epoxy into it. Size is 1/2" height.

I use a 30degrees carving bit (from sienci).  
Depth : 0.1"  
Stepover: 4%  
Feed: I try from 100ipm to 20ipm  
Plunge: I try from 65ipm to 10ipm

I check and clean each V-Wheels, clean and lube linear rail and lead screws.

Any idea

@GuillC -

V-carve or quick engraving in Aspire

Both made the same issue

@GuillC You mention that you’ve done 15 of these without issue. What changed?
