Another iteration today saw me successully switch the pass depth of the 45/90 degree 3.175mm Engraving Bit from `0.2mm` to `0.7mm` which is a pretty massive speed-up.

I’ve yet to figure out how to get vcarve to properly skip engraving passes that don’t cut anything (already cleared by the Clearing Bits), but the full runtime for this pass was two hours, down from maybe four hours before where I ended it early.
