Specialized V-Cutter for Clean and Precise Folding Grooves in Aluminum Composite Panels (ACP/ACM) in Canada.
The Snail Tools Carbide Tipped V-Grooving Bit is specifically engineered for creating the necessary grooves to allow Aluminum Composite Panels (ACP or ACM) to be bent and folded cleanly, most commonly for producing 90-degree corners. The specialized 108 degree angle is optimized to remove the aluminum skin and polyethylene core cleanly, leaving the opposing aluminum skin intact for folding.1 Featuring durable Carbide Tipped cutting edges, this bit offers a cost-effective and highly reliable solution for long production runs on your CNC router. The robust 12.7 mm shank ensures maximum stability and minimal vibration during high-speed routing of cladding materials.
Key Features & ACP Folding Performance
