Thanks for sharing the knowledge! I have ONE good inlay and a lot of failures but I really want to try again. You mentioned that the start depth plus flat depth should be equal to the pocket depth which is great to know which I don't think I did in the past. With the numbers .02" & .18" is that a pretty static formula? Does it vary slightly depending on the bit or maybe the design? Thanks again for the great insight!

[@GearheadDaily]

That formula shoudl work with almost any bit

[@Dta1996]

Nicely done. Have you tried the V Carve inly tool in V12? If so, how does it compare to the system you have been using? It seems to be pretty cool the way it creates the plug and the pocket. But I'm curious how the numbers work out. Thanks Doug

[@GearheadDaily]

I dont have V12 so i can't comment on that, heard its pretty good though.

Hello, fantastic video! I have tried your system and numbers which work perfectly for me. I have dialed in the right TBN and it’s geometry. But I’d love to know your cutting steps. Do you do your clearance pass or the vcarve pass first when doing the male plug? Thanks again Chris

[@GearheadDaily]

I do what ever has the bit set up in the machine first LOL. Less steps.

[@chrispelletier3661]

Lol

Great video! I pretty much mimic what Broinwood does with both his + and - sides and it's always given me good results. This is great as it's a lot more informative and personal. Hope that makes sense? Nice work.

[@GearheadDaily]

Oh? What's his + and - sides that they do?

[@todds4101]

@@GearheadDaily He talks about the size of ball nose bit he uses, along with the gaps of both the male and female inlay. He has it down to a science, to the point that when I tried it the pieces just seem to fit REALLY well. Not too snog and not too loose.

[@GearheadDaily]

@@todds4101 oh nice, can you link me to what he says? I'm curious to see how close my method is

[@edwardmoloney416]

Can you post the link you are referring to with Broinwood? Thank you @@todds4101

[@denispinard8120]

is there a big difference if I use a 5.4 degree bit instead of 6.2 degree to make inlay?

[@GearheadDaily]

No, but just make sure you use the same bit for both procedures.

[@rickeybobby1974]

Thanks for the follow up video brother. One question. I've been attempting to do inlays using the method and bit you've demonstrated with maple and walnut. Walnut being the female side and maple being the male side. When cutting the maple (male) side I'm experiencing tear out and chipping and the plug is ruined. I'm thinking this may have to do with feeds and speeds and/or use of a clearing bit. I'm needing some guidance as to how to cut clean plugs. Thanks again!

[@GearheadDaily]

I get some from time to time too, I use a stiff bristle nylon brush to clean the fuzzies

[@chrispelletier3661]

Great video. Thanks. I use vectric to. Can you take a screenshot of how you set up your bit ( in the tool menu) I’d really appreciate it. I think some of my setting are off. Thanks Chris

[@GearheadDaily]

@@chrispelletier3661 My advice would be to download the amana tool catalogue. Much much easier and more accurate

[@user-ui7uw8dz1n]

Hello, Beautiful video, I'm also looking for this design, I want to make this for someone's birthday. Where can I find this design can you help me? I just need the design, I'll try the rest my self . I hope you can help me Rene

[@chadcarter2026]

In your first video you say (and show on screen) a start depth of .18 and cut depth of .2. This time you say starting depth is .02 and finish is .18. Which is it? Thanks for the content

[@GearheadDaily]

I may have got them mixed in this video, follow the first video where I show vectric.

[@jasonazzopardi215]

G'day mate from a real newbie in Australia, love your videos and I have learnt quite a bit but not put into practice yet. Is there an email address that I am able to send you my questions to?

[@petecarlson352]

What F clamps do you use for clamping the negative and positive parts of the inlay?

[@GearheadDaily]

These bessey are very close to what I have amzn.to/4aNW79p

[@First-sj5mq]

What cnc did you use for this?

[@GearheadDaily]

Onefinity

[@sgtserginsky]

Is your amana bit a 1/4" or 1/8 " shank?

[@GearheadDaily]

1/4

[@JaymeVanAuken]

Exactly what bit ?

[@ajaymaya5895]

Which software use to make inlys

[@GearheadDaily]

aspire vectric

[@bankshot101]

are these g-codes available anywhere?

[@GearheadDaily]

No sorry

[@alanbarrington733]

Where is part one? ( never,mind. I just watched it)

[@philpille3061]

Question on the video at 3:43 you say the start depth should be .2 start depth and the finishing depth of .18 is this not backwards of what it should be ?

[@GearheadDaily]

Listen again and see the numbers in vectric
