Help finding specific router bit profile

[Denette]

I’m trying to find a router bit that is essentially a straight bit with a v-groove at the tip.  It would look like this:

Ive scoured amazon to no avail.  Any help is appreciated.  And yes, I know I could make this profile in multiple passes with multiple bits, but I want precision and repeatability.

Did you search on v groove bits I get several hits or am I not understanding what your looking for

[Denette]

I want a v-groove that is at the tip of a long straight bit.  In other words, it’s a straight bit for like an inch, then has a 45° angle to form a v-groove-like pointed tip.

Hmm how wide of a groove are you looking for?

Check Whiteside. If they don't have it you might not find it.

can make it.  I'd guess it would be a little over 200 dollars for a single, simple custom bit.

Whiteside doesn't do single customs anymore, but runs a minimum of six at the time.

I don’t really need any set width beyond that it should be wider than ¼” and have a cutting length of at least ¾”.

 

Custom is not an option for me financially.  I’m really surprised that what I’m looking for is so hard to find, considering how diverse the selection of router bits is.  I just figured there was a term I didn’t know that was making it not show up in my search. Huh.

Try Eagle, and MCLS (if it doesn't have to last long).   Beyond that, I wouldn't know where else to look.

What are you trying to do with it? Could you start with a straight bit and then finish with a V bit?

It's not that hard, you just need to take multiple passes at depth. Most vee butts have a flight up cutting wall. Just keep lowering it and you've got your v with straight walls. Here's the bit I have. It's Freud

Russel, are you trying to make an edge profile and a V groove all at once, like on a deep rabbet?

I recall once owning a cheap HSS bit with such a profile, but it was made to plunge and cut openings in drywall.

Amana makes some engraving bits up to 3/8" diameter with a cutting length up to 3/4"   - 45614 "Zero-Point" 90 Degree Engraving 3/8 Dia x 3/4 x 3/8 Shank ZrN Coated Router Bit

I think there is a reason they aren't readily available. That cut is going to pout a lot of stress on a bit. I'd do what Brendon mentioned and take multiple passes.

I was wanting to use it to cheat a bit and get a clean shoulder and crisp miter when doing blind mitered dovetails, but I'll manage with doing it in two steps.  Having to hand tool that final mitered part is so tedious.  Guess I'll experiment with multi-step solutions!  Thanks for trying to help, everyone!
