This reduces the amount of material the v-bit needs to remove in Step 5 and shortens the overall machining time for the project by about 15 minutes. Rough routing removes the majority of the wood in the large areas. Rough rout the background and wide areas with a straight bit. The excess top portion of the inlay is removed down to the dotted line to reveal the final pattern Step 7.
The cutting depths for these parts are set to provide clearance between the parts Steps 2 and 3. The angled shoulders of the inlay and pocket intersect to create a tight, wedged fit. The dotted line also represents the elevation or the location of the pattern in the board. Setting the cutting depths in this fashion will ensure a small amount of clearance between the inlay and pocket boards. Set the cutting depth for the inlay in two stages. The dotted line represents the location of the pattern, which in this case is the surface of the board. Set the flat area cutting depth for the pocket portion of the inlay to. V-carving programs excel at capturing such detail.
#Inlays with vectric vcarve pro pro
I designed this pattern right in about 15 minutes, using V-Carve Pro from Vectric. Almost any design will work, but all individual parts of the design must be made with a single continuous line so the router has a complete path to follow.Ī shape that is open-ended or has a gap in the line will not be recognized by the v-carving program. The fact that almost any design can be used, opens up many creative opporutunites. The technique is surprisingly easy to learn and implement, in spite of the fact that it would be nearly impossible to create these parts any other machine or by hand. In this case the parts are made as opposites and fit together to create a precise-fitting inlay.
