The dilemma with v-bits is that there is a difference in how fast the point moves compared to the outer edge. When perfectly sharp and removing wood efficiently they can work well, but once they start to get dull the chatter gets worse and on a machine with a little play (like most Pros have) that can turn into movement up and down of the bit. Keep your bit sharp, your bites small, and you can minimize the chatter. When I have something critical to VCarve I simply add in the cost of a new bit and get a new one to use.
