I am trying to create a star that is tapered to the center of the star. Is this possible with the X-Carve witha 60 degree bit

Yes. It’s a v-carve operation.

I use a 90 degree bit but could easily switch to a 60 degree. I’ve shared it on the inventables projects. Check out my YouTube channel for both the flags and stars. [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVWqe-RPxZc9G2tevx1vT9w](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVWqe-RPxZc9G2tevx1vT9w)
