I'm looking for good V cutting router bits that have a sharp point. The one I got from Rockler was anything but. Do any of you have recommendations of high quality bits that will cut sharp Vees for signs?
Thanks

They're quite expensive, but most manufacturers make a solid carbide 3 flute bit like this.

Although smaller, I've had good results with this bit, although I only used it once. 60° 1/4"

Those solid 3 flute cutters from Amana are very good. Quality of the cut is excellent.

Thanks for the advice guys. I ended up buying the 90 degree replaceable insert V bit from Amana. It was expensive ($95) but it cuts beautifully and the replaceable inserts at $15 each for two cutting edges are cheaper than paying to have a solid bit resharpened. So in the long run it's a pretty good investment.
