Need help with cross sabers detail

I’ve been having a hard time getting this detail. Wondering if the detail is beyond the 5pro capability? Upload is with a 60 vbit and tried a 1/16, and 1/32. I think I may have to simplify the sabers. While this try can out it’s very shallow and detail sands away easily.
I also thought that maybe I could just draw them in? How would you even get the marker to draw where I want?
Any suggestions? Thanks

The lines in question are quite narrow:

You are cutting them out with a Contour toolpath:

which is quite shallow.

A more forgiving cut would be to use a more acute tool as a V carving.

Thanks for the info. Ok so more depth and a different tool. I’ll see if I can fatten the line more. What tool would recommend?

Happy Veterans Day…

If you redefine the Amana 30 degree V endmill which we sell:

(please test/check/verify the feeds and speeds and depth per pass for your material)

then it will cut quite a bit more deeply:
