Machine of the Month:<br>The &#8216;V&#8217; Grooving process

Auto V Grooving stone ‘V’ groovers use a dry process, which eliminates the mess of a wet process and saves valuable drying time. The product is removed from the ‘V’ groover; no sludge or dirt clean-up is required, and the workpiece is dry, immediately ready for glue-up. The need for the traditional number of multiple clamps is eliminated. By creating a ‘V’ cut, a fabricator can make any sized front edge, thus allowing the fabricator to achieve huge material savings by using thinner stone sheets, yet still maintaining the “thick material look” that the customers want. Because ‘V’ Grooving eliminates the need for creating strips to be applied onto an edge, the material pattern and design continues as it folds over the edge. This creates a strong, beautiful and matching product that customers demand, according to Auto ‘V’ Grooving.

Fabricators use ‘V’ grooving not just for countertops and vanities, but also for producing shower enclosures, store fixtures, furniture components, planters, post wraps and many other commercial and residential products.
