Jason, I am a bit confused about the starting depth for the male plug. Start depth of .15, will this not dive the bit into the workpiece rather than starting at the surface? We can discuss during our next lesson.

[@Timberfalls]

Yes it does dive into the workpiece but this creates the offset. Think of it more of cut per depth you are not going past the normal .25 that the V bits are capable of cutting in one pass but because we are starting in the wood we are moving our starting cut angle further down towards the bottom of the cut to create the offset you need for the pieces to fit together without programing one in. We can always talk more in a session whenever you are ready.

[@HeartwoodWoodshop]

Great tutorial on the v-bit inlay! The discussion on adjusting the starting depth to manage the offset needed was really helpful. I'm excited go try out!

[@Timberfalls]

Glad this one helped and I really appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching.

Best video i have seen so far for carveco. I have a complex logo I am wanting to inlay.
When I do the v carve method it seems some parts have a massive gap between male female and other parts sits nice and snug. I am referring to the base and not the walls. Bottom/ top of pockets.
Unsure how to word this but since it’s setting maximum depth how do you get a consistent depth.
I have great success for simple shapes by ofsetting the vector size manually for make plug but that doesn’t translate for more complex shapes.
Thanks for the video!

[@Timberfalls]

One thing about that vcarve method is you have to make sure your stepdown is large enough to make it down to the starting point. So if you have a .2 starting depth your stepdown has to more than .2 to get it in one pass that will be clean.

What is the best wood to use for a test inlay cut?

[@Timberfalls]

The wood you are going to use is the best but since some of these exotic woods are really expensive I have tested with hardwoods like walnut and maple.

[@CADCAMWizard]

I've compared the area clearance vs the inlay "pocket" what logic is it using to change the offset or the offset amount between the walls of each shape? It seems like its " automagic" and I would prefer to understand the logic -

[@Timberfalls]

I would agree that the inlay pocket wizard does not work well and I am not sure how it derives its offset calculation. I prefer to do it the manual way.

[@CADCAMWizard]

@@Timberfalls It's not clear to me if it does or doesn't work well, currently I just don't understand the drivers and how it impacts the geometry selected

[@Timberfalls]

@@CADCAMWizard I have been hearing from the developers that they are reworking this tool and plan to change how it works soon. I think using the vbit inlay method for shallow carves is probably the best way to do those rather than using offsets and pocket inlays. Those are good for simple deep inlays but I mostly do the vbit method.
