      Is it a 90 degree V you want? If so,
      Use a square end mill and tilt vertical mill head to 45, or use a double angle cutter on a horizontal mill;

      I want to mill a 90 degree V-shaped groove about 0.250" deep in some 6061 AL. Are those 90 degree countersinks ok for this or is there a better type of cutter for this application?
      If buildin' old school choppers was easy, anyone could do it... ain't nobody said it's gonna be easy...
