GROOVE-360PRO: Powerfully Precise. Remarkably Portable.


The GROOVE-360PRO is the ultimate solution for professionals who need both versatility and performance in a drywall milling system. Engineered in Germany and trusted across North America, this transportable machine delivers the same precision as a stationary table—while offering the flexibility to fold down and travel easily to commercial job sites. With the ability to handle sheets up to 14 feet long, it’s ideal for prefabrication or on-site installation. Whether you’re streamlining production in your warehouse or enhancing efficiency in the field, the GROOVE-360PRO keeps your crew moving and your corners sharp.

The GROOVE-360PRO can reduce installation time by up to 60% and finishing time up to 80% all while significantly reducing costs for materials.

GROOVE-360ProTM—Transportable Precision for Modern Drywall Construction

Drywall milling replaces time-consuming hand cutting, repeated measuring, and excessive finishing with a controlled, precision-based fabrication process. Instead of hand cutting drywall on the jobsite, panels are milled, folded, and assembled in advance—either in a prefabrication shop or directly on large commercial jobsites.
The GROOVE-360Pro is a transportable drywall milling table designed to bring speed, consistency, and cleaner workflows wherever your work happens.

Transportable. Modular. Jobsite-Ready.

  • Breaks down into three manageable components
  • Two-part modular table
  • Traveler/milling assembly easily lifted by two people
  • Functions as:
    • A stationary production table in a prefab or pre-construction shop
    • A mobile, on-demand fabrication system for large commercial jobsites

Eliminate Time-Consuming Hand Cutting

Traditional drywall work depends on repeated measuring, marking, and hand cutting—slow steps that can lead to inconsistency and rework. The GROOVE-360Pro replaces these tasks with a smooth, traveler-mounted system that delivers accurate, repeatable results from panel to panel.
Faster fabrication. Less waste. Fewer callbacks.

Multi-Angle Grooving for Advanced Profiles

The V-groove milling system is engineered to mill a wide range of angles, allowing crews to fabricate:

  • Inside and outside corners
  • Acute and obtuse angles
  • Knife-edge profiles
  • Soffits, columns, reveals, and transitions

The drywall face paper is preserved, allowing panels to fold cleanly. Adhesive applied in the groove reinforces the folded corner—eliminating the need for corner bead.

Less mud. Less sanding. Cleaner finishes.

Build Faster. Install Smarter.

  • Prefabricate flat or folded
  • Palletize for efficient transport
  • Install quickly with minimal on-site fabrication

Drywall prefabrication using milling technology has been shown to reduce jobsite labor time by up to 60%.

A Smarter Way to Build

The GROOVE-360Pro combines work precision, efficiency, and flexibility in one transportable system—helping drywall teams get in, get the job done, and get off the jobsite faster.
This is drywall milling—redefined.

Saw Cutting Head + Multi-Blade Capability

The integrated saw cutting head handles straight end cuts and advanced shaping. With a four-blade multi-blade configuration, the GROOVE-360Pro can produce:

  • Rounded corners
  • Radius features
  • Serpentine and curved walls

Complex shapes that once required specialized hand work are now produced efficiently and consistently.

Template-Guided Cutting for Exact Shapes

An integrated template arm system allows operators to follow exact templates for repeatable results, including:

  • Castle cuts
  • Circular openings for recessed lighting
  • Precise cutouts anywhere within the drywall panel

LED Lighting & Architectural Light Coves

The GROOVE-360Pro is ideal for fabricating LED lighting profiles, including:

  • Ceiling light coves
  • Wall-mounted LED reveals
  • Indirect lighting details

Custom angles and knife-edge profiles fold accurately and install cleanly. Profiles can be shipped flat or pre-glued and palletized for immediate installation.

Cleaner Jobsites. Easier on Crews.

  • Compatible with HEPA-filtered vacuum systems
  • Dust captured at the source
  • Less joint compound = less sanding = less cleanup

By reducing hand cutting, sanding, and repetitive finishing, the GROOVE-360Pro supports a workflow that is easier on hands, wrists, shoulders, and elbows, helping crews work more comfortably—especially over long careers.
