I've used steep angled cutters (such as you've shown) for profiling material. Works very well.
What they're also good for is 3-D reverse engraving. Let's you go deep into the material, without making the characters to bold.
The effect is more pronounced with a clear material, as opposed to a matte finish. Looks like raised letters under glass.

I apologize for the delay in responding. I didn't receive an email notification and haven't been on.
Size the tip for the depth you are going (1/16, 3/32, 1/8 or ?), the spindle power available and toughness of the material. We generally use .01 to .06 tip.
