This is a good tutorial! I would point out one thing though - the flat depth on the plug doesn't change the size of the "glue pocket", it changes the gap between the pieces at their surfaces. The glue pocket size is determined by the difference between the pocket depth and the start depth of the plug. So if your pocket depth is .2" and your plug start depth is .18", there will be a .02" deep glue pocket. The flat depth then is for leaving a gap between the surfaces (if you want one, for example some people like to cut the plug waste away with a bandsaw). If you changed it to something extreme, say 1", then there would be a 1" gap between the surface of the board and the opposing surface of the plug waste. But the glue pocket would still be .02" because that's the difference between a .2" pocket and a .18" plug start depth. Hope that makes sense! Cheers

I have read and watched several videos of ways to do V Carve and find this method works best. What I like is that it doesn't cut as deep (unless you want to) and this cuts down on the time it takes to carve something. I also like the way the tapered bits work in this method since they cut easily and clean. I used a 3-degree bit, and the joints were exceptional. Unless I have large areas, I don't use a clearance bit and the bottoms are exceptionally smooth. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

STARS- Thanks for posting this tutorial. I've been running my shop as a legit business for a couple of years now, but I have somewhat pigeonholed myself and have to expand for a widening customer base. I hate telling a customer "I can't do that" and it gives them the impression that I'm totally clueless. I've half-assedly played around with inlays, but not seriously enough to learn it well. This has given me a lot to consider, especially using a TBE bit to cut with, and not a V bit. It's a concept I hadn't ever heard of, until now. When I have tried inlays, I almost always ended up with something that looked just okay, at best. Most inlays would be ill-fitting and/or have gaps in places that should have been tight. I'm glad I found your video, thanks again for posting!

Good luck! I just did it again

Well, im stumped. Its been some time but historically I have had ok luck doing inlays. Been out of the shop for some time due to medical reasons and figured id kick out a project with a simple inlay. Using the exact same amana bit (46280) and 1/4em for clearing I have a very simple pocket with an island in the middle (think doughnut) using your exact same settings as in video: female pocket = vcarve toolpath start depth 0" and flat depth .2" Male plug = pocket toolpath, start depth .18" with cut depth of .02" I even tried using v-carve tool paths for both male/female ends and same result. The plug drops right it with play I can feel. Not a tight fit at all. Thinking maybe the original SVG was somehow to blame I imported the SVG again on a brand new project. Selected outer and inner vectors and did a v-carve toolpath. Copied the same 2 vectors to a new layer, flipped them, selected outer vector and created an offset of it and then selected all 3 nested vectors to create pocket toolpath. Im totally stumped as to why I have such a loose fit. The machine is a onefinity woodworker and I have not noticed any play in of the axis. no wavy/uneven cuts on any axis yet still have sloppy inlays, super frustrating.

I see people throwing out all sorts of crazy numbers they got "from a video" that don't work so they ask for help. I have a couple videos I often send them to and/or quote numbers they should try. Your numbers with a .02 glue gap align with what I already have been telling people but I must say your video is better than any of the other ones I have seen on doing inlays, especially the part about using a narrow TBN instead of a V bit to get steep walls. I'm going to start referring people to this video.

STARS - This is GREAT and can't wait to try it! This is very different than any of the MANY vids I have watched on this but I have a couple of questions though if you have a minute please. One is how can I increase the gap of the positive piece above the negative board to be able to cut off the excess with my bandsaw? Would that be to increase the cut depth on the positive piece a touch? Also how do you accommodate for the Start Depth if/when the cut may be deeper than the bit can handle? I've tried so many ways I cannot recall any of the exact depths I used but there were times the start depth plus the cut depth were a little excessive for my bit. Last question is how long were these cuts using the ball nose bit compared to a v-bit? The machining bit at the end seems as though it took quite a while to cut each piece. Thanks!

@GearheadDaily

2 жыл бұрын

I hope it helps! So... 1. You can up the difference so in this case, 0.16 and .04 would increase that amount to cut off. 2. how big of a cut and inlay are you trying to make? that seems really deep. 3. Each process was maybe 1-2 min total.

I ran into the issue of pocket/Plug being too tight to fit. My question is, do you use pocket allowance? I didn't see you use that in this video. Or, should have I used a bigger bit (45 or 60) because the "Chili Pepper" was a bigger inlay and didn't have too much detail. I appreciate your video and responses to the comments.

Appreciate this video; I've accessed it more than a few times as a refresher before designing my inlays. One thing I hadn't noticed until today, I see on the "plug" carve, you start by running your TBN, followed by your clearance tool. Is there a reason for this, or is it a function of already having the TBN in the collet and avoiding an extra bit change? Just curious. Thanks!
