A V-groover, also known as a V grooving machine, is a tool used to scribe and slot V-shaped grooves into metal plates. This can reduce the bending radius and improve the appearance of sheet metal workpieces. The machine is particularly useful in industries requiring high-precision plate processing, such as elevator manufacturing, packaging materials, stainless steel processing, household appliance production, and prop display.

The fabrication process of V-groove bend forming is simple: First, adopt the V-grooving (or V-cut) method on the metal sheet. Then, bend the grooved sheet metal into various angles and shapes using a press brake with a general mold or special mold.

When choosing a V-grooving machine, you should consider the following:

• Your specific needs: Different industries and projects may require different types of V-grooving machines. Make sure to choose one that fits your specific needs.
• The materials you will be working with: Some machines may be better suited for certain materials than others.
• The precision required: If your project requires high precision, make sure to choose a machine that can deliver this.
• Your budget: V-grooving machines can vary in price, so it’s important to choose one that fits within your budget.
