Having a problem with stars on my cnc

so recently my 90 degree bit broke during a job and thats what I use for the stars and with tons of my projects but I have to use a 60 degree one and I can’t seem to get it to make the wide and nice stars I want but I’ve seen other use this bit and achieve these stars so I was wondering if anyone has a solution to this or maybe like a tip/trick to help with this so I can get back up and running. Thank you :slight_smile:

You can depth limit by using a CAM tool which allows that such as Vectric Vcarve.

You should be able to pick up a replacement 90 degree V router bit from your local home center or woodworking shop, e.g.,

or

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Diablo-1-2-in-Carbide-V-Grooving-Router-Bit-DR20104/100660663

or similar — just be sure to get a 1/4" shank.
