This is a piece of cake with a horizontal mill and the appropriate cutter.

Pre-amateur miller me agrees with Steve that a horz mill will work
best in this case due to the angles involved. I don't recall seeing
too many sharply angled vert mill cutters.


Something like this: TinyURL.com/nyodas

I have seen them angled both ways.


There are also some made to cut both sides of a 'V' at once.
Or, you can mount a LH and a RH one face to face on an arbor to get your
'V' in a single pass.

Enjoy,
DoN.
