Every time I want to do an inlay i have to go back to a video i watched that very clearly laid it all out for me - it wasn't nearly as complicated or hacky as yours, but maybe I wasn't doing as deep of an inlay that it mattered? This is the tutorial i have bookmarked as a refresher each time -- The VCarve Inlay Technique by Shawn Gano

Gave up on clamps long ago. I just screw the work to the machine bed. Easy and quick. No obstacles. Inlays are about the bits and the depths. You should make a wood "press" to glue the inlays (like a sandwich). That will help the inlay to go down nice and straight. Nice work on a pretty sophisticated project. Thanks for video!!!

Frank, making a 2 hour job last a month is called retirement! It is those problem solving situations that makes the grey matter work and keeps the interest up. I have been adding 'features' to my drill press (motorised up/down table, automatic lock/unlock and air or lubrication blast inspired by Marius Hornburger) for the last 2 months as I wait for parts or change the arduino code to get it working as it should.

in the future, no need to have a symmetrical shape, you just need to mirror the inlay and use this mirrored shape to program the cnc. when you actually "rotate" the part to glue it in, it's kinda mirroring it again so it fits perfectly!

Im glad that you figured out the issue and impressed and pleased that you kept plugging away at it until you had something. Weaker willed folks might have given up. I also enjoyed the recurring theme of tossing the work piece onto a surface and letting the autoclamps do the rest. Ive been watching you for 7 years and its still fresh and new yet familiar and comforting. Keep up the good work.
@avaDesdemona10 ай бұрын
When pushing the plugs in place you're trying to compress air and glue (you have a pretty tight fit of your pieces, the glue is a good sealant for trapping the air) so a tiny hole somewhere in your plug or your main pieces might help with clamping, because then the air can escape.

If you were going to do these inlays on a much more expensive or harder-to-replace substrate, it might be worth investing in a low-cost 3D scanner. You could scan the cutouts and their corresponding inlay pieces to confirm they match geometrically before gluing them in... Thank you for innovating at the cutting edge (pun intended) of CNC woodworking:)

Maybe symbols for the cardinal points?

20:58 For your next project that requires something held down while it dries but is too large for your clamps, go to your local Value Village or Goodwill store and see if they have an old barbell set and use one of the round disk weights as your clamp... Alternatively, your local Habitat Restore should have some pavers or patio squares you can use... Or, if you live in (or near) a Rural area, see if you can find a large rock with a flat face on it to use as a weight...

Always a pleasure to see your work come together. The ability to create, program, figure out the right material, and then make all that work out time after time is a great thing. I used to run CNC milling machines in the 90’s, so I am not sure about the software you have today. Couldn’t you do the tool path for one quadrant, then mirror that in the c axis and the y axis? That should ensure symmetry. Great work Frank, thanks for sharing.

Wonderful video Frank! I've recently been learning how to do inlays on the CNC too. I'm using the same 6.2 degree bit. I've found that cutting into endgrain makes for super clean inlays, so you might try that sometime. I've been using Fusion 360 to make the tool paths. It seemed to work okay but kinda hacky at times as well. Would be interested to see you try it!

About the press/holding jig (for glue ups of big pieces where clamps doesn't reach.). I think you could put your pieces under a bench and use rods to push the piece against the top. Those rod doesn't have to be perfect, better if they are flexible so you can bend them into position. I hope it make sense.

This was a awesome video dude! You should look into a arbour press if you looking for something inexpensive. They are small but have a range of forces (1/2 to 5 tons???!) and would be perfect for the inlays. The throat of the press could potentially be the only limiting factor.

I have a solution to the problem of tear-out in the purpleheart. Unfortunately, it requires a miracle to work: 1. Make the cut-outs extra deep. 2. Fill them in with hard epoxy. 3. Remove material from the surface until you have removed all the damaged wood. 4. Remove the epoxy. Insert miracle here. In integrated-circuit manufacturing, this is done all the time. The "wood" is silicon, and the "epoxy" is silicon dioxide. The silicon dioxide is removed at the end by dipping the wafer into hydrofluoric acid, which does not react with silicon.

While you had it on the CNC, cutting the outer edge, why not make a circular impression to add the chuck? This would have insured that it was centered and you wouldn't need to waste the block you did use. If you are going to turn off the extreme bottom of the inlays, then you should just go ahead and go deeper with the pocket, this would allow the glue to escape and possibly allow easier insertion. The inlay "bottoming out" would be one cause of gaps.
