Help Creating Inlay

Post the file?

More likely the difficulty is that you are selecting too much — also depth limiting will interfere — best to not do that unless you specifically want that effect.

Here is the .svg file:

What’s the dia of the circle
The male part is not an issue but for the female you going to have to set a bottom depth for sure
I’m trying to trace the picture in inscape to see what it looks like on my software

I am planning on 6” outer diameter. The board will be 12” wide.

Thanks for the help.

Here is how it looks on mine
Female .3 depth
Male .4 depth with start at .01

Mogsy · December 30, 2021, 4:48pm

Just need to get those depths correct

CT-Mike · December 30, 2021, 4:53pm

Thanks for the help Wayne, did you have to do any modifications to the file, or just create the tool paths and set the depths?

I traced your picture in inscape then converted to vector, ran a Vcarve for the female first
Then drawn another circle around your design selected all and Vcarve again with a 1/4” end mill to clear and a 60 degree Vbit to finish off

I ran at 10” dia tho

Will,

Thanks for the help also - but I’m not seeing a .svg file you posted, other than for the coffee coaster.

Thanks,

Mike
