    how do i taper a pocket wall with mill level 1

    I have some square blocks 3x3. I need to cut a 2x2 pocket in the center but have the walls taper out instead of 90 degrees. I have X6 mill level 1 and a 3 axis miller. Is this kinda cut possible? I can have steps, and we are also hoping to keep the corners of the tapered walls as sharp as possible. Any ideas? I could possibly get a trial of level3

    ok found the option under depth cuts, last place i looked. Anyways i can use a flat endmill and taper the wall and obviously there are steps. I want to try a ballmill, but in verify it if say i choose a pocket and add tapered walls the top of the wall is nowhere near the edge of the feature? It works just fine with a flat endmill. I tried different compensation types with no luck. Any ideas why this happens.
    Sorry 99% of our work is core milling
