How would a molding head work for making a v-groove with lines it? If
the groove is just stepped, that would work. But if you want a
v-groove with raised lines (or even cut in lines), a molding head
won't be able to do that since it doesn't move in the same direction
as the material.

Of course, you are correct. But my original idea -- not actually stated here -- was
to approximate many steps. A rough surface would be good enough for the prototype,
and a $14 router bit seemed a good way to go. Anyway, I sort of backed into a
solution. Thanks.
