The limit is that the cutter has to fit both the insides (black part) of the letters, but also the outsides and islands of the letters. I could not find a font that is optimized for this, so I created a set of vector letters. You can download them at [[Media:CNC_alphabet.svg]] and use them, but please link back here if applicable.
			\|geekery=The size of the letters is limited by having to fit the bit into each line and each island. So, a letter like "B" is the worst case scenario: it has three horizontal lines and two islands, so must be at least 5x the bit size and a tiny bit more. I started by creating the worst case letters and then added the others to look similar.

	** that provides nice single line engraving text, to a point solves the font's radius problem, but not the outside one...
