At that size, the tool paths would overlap & the lettering would be a mess. I have an engraver that would do detail that small, but I'm limited to engraving plastic with that machine. (You didn't say what substrate you wanted this cut into). To get tack sharp results on a tag that small you should be asking for a lazer engraver.

I didn't even think of Laser. I have a friend that has done stuff for my firearms. He can't cut the emblem out though.

Would you be willing to cut just the oval out of .250 6061 and do a .250 radius bullnose edge on it? Also, the tooling marks in the letters wouldnt be that big of an issue as I will be filling the letters in with paint.
