π A **V-bit** is a routing bit with a cone-shaped tip (usually 60Β° or 90Β° angle, among other sizes) that cuts a V-shaped groove. They are primarily used for **engraving and sign-making**. For instance, when you carve letters into wood (V-carving), the V-bit creates lines that vary in width depending on depth β giving a nice calligraphic effect. V-bits are also used for adding decorative V-grooves on panels, chamfering edges, or engraving fine details. Essentially, any time you want a cut that comes to a point at the bottom, you use a V-bit. They come in different tip angles (e.g. 20Β°, 30Β°, 60Β°, 90Β°) and tip widths. A smaller angle (like 20Β° or 30Β°) can do finer, detailed engraving (narrow lines), while a larger angle (90Β°) is good for bold letters or chamfers. Theyβre extremely common in CNC work for creating signs, plaques, and artistic carvings:contentReference[oaicite:73]{index=73}.
