Need help finding a router bit (V Bit with a Flat)
Hi, I am after a little help sourcing a router bit, it looks like a standard V Bit but has a Flat on the end instead of a point.
It is so I can bend Aluminium composite panels, a V bit does the job but its a tight bend so I am trying to find a bit like this which has been mentioned on a few sites for processing ACP.
I've searched what sites I know of but cannot find anything like this.
Attached a picture.

we just buy the standard v bit then knock the end off on the bench grinder,
no issue at all done it a few times no and works well, as the composite is very thin so does not need much of edge to router through.

Some pictures
I ended up just using the grinder to take a little off top, had a few trial and errors but got it right after the 3rd try (The coating on the aluminium would crack if I didnt cut deep enough)

Attached an image below, its the best image I could find but you get the idea.
One side is bent (longest) while the other side is bolted to some angle which is then bolted to the frame.
