V-Groove Corian Solid Surface Demonstration

This video demonstrates the v-groove or miter fold edge fabrication process for Corian solid surface material. I use a Monument Toolworks v-groove machine but this process can also be accomplished with a table saw or hand held router.
It is by far the easiest edges to fabricate and the finishing steps are drastically reduced.

Hi Andy. Love your videos! I recently started fabricating Corian and I can't find any visual demonstrations for seaming V-grooved pieces together though an L shape corner. With a 45 degree miter seam especially. The fabrication manual doesn't do a thorough job of explaining it either. Do you think you could turn on your camera the next time you're doing this? Not to get greedy, but a video on the V-grooved method for a coved splash would be great too! Thank you for all of your helpful videos!!!

[@AndyGraves]

Thank you. We don't v-groove l shaped tops because it leaves a square inside corner. I think wilsonart used to have instructions on this where you v-groove both seams and then Sean the 1.5" tall edge together.

[@mikesmith2102]

I have some walnut plywood and was thinking of making a seamless box by cutting a v-groove at all the corners and just folding it together.

[@AndyGraves]

You can absolutely do that. Just cut it in the table saw or use a router and it will look amazing.

[@sunshine5349]

besides being 40% stronger joint, and faster to fabricate, any other benefits?

[@AndyGraves]

Veined material looks better with a vgrooved edge.

[@dougw4034]

Hi Andy, that looks slick. What angle v cutter is that? Just a 90 or is it 91 to give room for glue etc?

[@AndyGraves]

91 degrees

[@tamdaonguyen8486]

Very interesting video. How many knives of the cutting and what is the spindle speed if you mind to tell me? Thank you in advance.

[@AndyGraves]

18,000 rpm, 2 flutes

[@wyattblack7570]

What kind of tape do you use?

[@AndyGraves]

Hello, there is a link in the description for the tape. Make sure you get the 3m brand. The other packing tapes don't work.

[@CharlesRehberg]

Coild this be done with a router and a Festool track?

[@AndyGraves]

Absolutely. Just cut each side and then apply the tape to make the Mitered edge.

[@EVstudioMiami]

How many millimeters minus ?

[@AndyGraves]

Cut through to the tape.

[@prestonsteele9378]

What type of V Groover is this?

[@AndyGraves]

Monument Toolworks but I don't think they still make them.

[@prsteele03]

@@AndyGraves I have been looking for one for awhile. The betterley v groove router looks nice.

[@AndyGraves]

Is that the hand held unit?

[@jahitsk2365]

I am also work corian solid surface in india can you give me your job

[@AndyGraves]

We don't have any jobs in India. Thanks
