The 128 V-Groove Router Bit
V-Groove is a flat surface on the end of a fiber array chip to which polarization maitaning fibers are mated. This is very important for low connection loss because angle misalignment between mated PM fiber arrays affects total PER significantly.
V-Groove router bits are ideal for routing woods to create a beveled edge or add an accent on panels, lettering and sign making. They come in different angles, cutting diameters and shank sizes suitable for most CNC machines.
Solid Carbide
The 128 V-Groove uses solid carbide, which is known for its superior toughness and durability. Its tips are diamond honed to a 400-grit finish, which gives them razor sharp edges. This allows the router bit to cut a wide variety of materials, including soft and hard wood, laminated material and more. Whether you’re looking to create decorative grooves or want to add a sign-making capability to your CNC machine, the V-Groove router bit is a great choice.
The v-grooving process significantly reduces the outside bend radius of the sheet or plate. This is especially useful for long, narrow flanges of prepainted aluminum that are difficult to bend without crazing (small cracks) on the surface paint. V-grooving also reduces lateral tensile stress, which causes the metal to elongate slightly in the direction perpendicular to the neutral axis during air bending. This causes a center-concavity in the edge of the bend, which can change the appearance of the finished product.
Using the V-grooving process reduces these problems, making it easier for shop owners to produce high-quality, architecturally pleasing bent metal products. The v-grooving process also allows shops to work with thinner material, which can make the job easier and save on labor costs. The 128 V-Groove works well in a wide range of thicknesses, but is particularly effective in (but not limited to) aluminum, composite plate, brass, copper and various stainless steel grades.
14” Shank
These router bits can be used to cut decorative vee grooves and chamfer edges on panels, signs and lettering. They are ideal for use on handheld, table-mounted and CNC routers. The bits feature a carbide tip that is hard, durable and long-lasting. 128 V-Groove They are designed to last longer than other types of router bits, so they need less frequent sharpening. The shims allow you to adjust the bit depth for different applications, and also provide a convenient way to change the cutting edge without the need for a tool.
A groove is a longitudinal or circumferential depression on a surface. The variables describing the geometry of a groove are its shape, size and direction. The most common shapes are U-shaped, V-shaped and rectangular. The most important size variable is the height of a groove, which determines its impact on flow.
Researchers have found that a grooved surface causes the flow to be more compact in streamwise direction and narrower in transverse direction. This reduces the drag forces exerted on the cylinder. A grooved cylinder also shifts into the critical regime earlier than a perfect circular cylinder, and its shear stress profile is lower. (Bacher and Smith, 1985). Moreover, the size of a groove influences the effect of its surface modification on turbulent drag. The best result is obtained when the tip fillet radius is smaller, as this significantly improves the secondary vortex formation strength and the groove surface modification.
Suitable for CNC Machines
This v-groove bit is suitable for use with CNC machines, especially with a plunge router. It can be used to cut a variety of designs, including decorative v-grooves and lettering. It can also be used to create chamfers and mitre joints. This bit is available in a variety of angles and cutting diameters to suit your needs. It also features a carbide tipped blade, which is ideal for long-lasting performance.
Amana AMS-128 8-Pc ‘V’ Carving CNC Router Bit Collection, 1/4 Inch Shank

This set includes a convenient storage case for easy transport and organization.
These v-groove bits are perfect for creating door-front grooving and lettering, as well as final sign work. They are designed to provide utmost cutting control and minimize kickback. They are also compatible with many other heavy-duty assignments. The eminent online store Audel procures these industrial v-groove bits from renowned manufacturers at the most competitive rates. They are fully hardened and feature a tempered steel shank for longer durability on the jobsite. They can be used with an edge guide or template to ensure smoother work operations.
Ideal for Plunge Routing
When cutting V grooves with a CNC router, make sure the workpiece is securely clamped or supported. Position the bit over the desired path and slowly plunge the router down into the material, adjusting the speed as needed to maintain a consistent cut. The bit’s sharp tip should easily penetrate the surface of the material and leave behind a clean, finished V-shaped groove. The groove can be used as 5G˴Fibre to the home a decorative feature or to create a joint. The edges of the groove can also be chamfered to add an extra level of detail.
For the most precise cut, consider using a 45deg or 60deg insert V-groove bit. These types can handle larger designs and allow for more contrast in the carved out area.
You can find V-Groove router bits at Findbuytool in a wide range of sizes and styles. There are even matched sets to help you add detail to cabinet doors, window sash frames and other projects. Some offer a 90deg V profile that doubles as a 45deg chamfer on the edge of your stock and are ideal for adding detail to cabinets, crown molding, baseboard, chair rail or wainscoting. You can also find a set designed for making tongue and groove joints to strengthen your sash and stile parts. These router bits are made from premium quality micro-grain carbide tips for professional results.
