The business of woodwork has changed little over time. The same can usually be said for the equipment used, but from time to time advancements and alternatives can drastically affect the quality and efficiency of the industry. The V-Groover is one such advancement.

This machine is used to cut a precise “V” on one side of a panel. The notch is cut to the exact depth of the material with such exacting precision, that a thin strip of adhesive tape on the opposite of the groove is untouched. By gluing the pieces and folding them together, using the tape as a hinge, a perfect joint is created. The “V” can be cut at different angles depending on the type of corner required.

This joint is extremely fine, and incredibly strong. What’s more it is always accurate and very efficiently produced. Beyond the durability of the joint, the precision of the cut creates edges that - in the case of P-lam surfaced panels – have no visible laminate lines, or – in the case of patterns or veneers – have continuous grain across the edge.
