Specialized Wide-Angle V-Cutter for Precise Folding Grooves in Aluminum Composite Panels (ACP/ACM) in Canada.
The Snail Tools Carbide Tipped V-Grooving Bit is engineered for creating specific wide-angle grooves in Aluminum Composite Panels (ACP or ACM), allowing the material to be cleanly bent and folded. The highly specialized 135 degree angle is optimized for producing sharp internal corners, typically resulting in a 45 degree fold angle when the panel is bent. Featuring durable Carbide Tipped cutting edges, this bit offers a cost-effective and highly reliable solution for long production runs on your CNC router, ensuring smooth, clean cuts through the aluminum skin and polyethylene core. The large 19.05 mm cutting diameter provides efficient material removal, and the 12.7 mm shank ensures maximum stability during high-speed routing.
Key Features & Wide-Angle ACP Folding
-
Application: Wide-Angle Folding of ACP/ACM Panels – Designed for grooving the inner surface of composite panels to prepare for structural folds, creating wide internal bends.
-
Angle: 135 Degree Angle – The optimal geometry for specialized folding requirements, ensuring a clean cut and controlled bend angle (e.g., a 45-degree resultant fold).
-
Material: Carbide Tipped – Delivers long-lasting performance and superior edge retention when routing abrasive aluminum and plastic composites.1
-
Size & Stability: Features a large 19.05 mm (3/4 inch) Cutting Diameter for efficiency, supported by a rigid 12.7 mm (1/2 inch) Shank Diameter.
