What happens here
Using a router fitted with a V-groove bit, create a deep V-shaped channel down the center of the assembled composite panel. This groove will act as a hinge point, allowing the rigid composite material to be bent. The router is guided along the length of the panel, creating a clean, consistent V-cut.
Goal: Create a flexible hinge point in the composite panel
