In order to achieve a true v-carving effect, the bit must gradually rise up as it exits a toolpath, meaning that the Z-axis is moving in sync with the X and Y axis. This movement creates a tapered look entirely unique to v-carving.
You can change the look of a V Carving just by changing the bit angle. A bit with a high angle will leave a shallower letter than a low angle bit. A 30 degree bit will cut deep into the wood while a bit with a 120 degree angle will leave a wide shallow groove. By careful selection of the router bit you can use the same tool path and get several different looks.
