I been reading the forums and searching .
Can I safely cut full depth in one pass .375 letters.....my hunch is yes...but my searches are not turning up the answer and I don't want to break my shiny new bit.
I did a poem in jatoba for flooring yesterday and it took 4.5 hours.
Kiplings "If" is at 14.5 hours if I follow the defaults.

Sure you can. I have just V-Carved 8" letters into teak wood in 1 pass.
