I've made an error turning a customers 12.5" dia x 40" long uhmw plastic roller.
It has a "V" groove every inch (about 38) for the length. The V grooves have a
flat bottom and we roughed them with a dogbone style insert. As we plunged the
center material of the V groove, we cut .250" too deep. Plenty of stock left on

heated roller, that could be used to push the excess material into our mistake?
The area that needs to be filled is roughly a 1/4" square groove.
