I’m having difficulty with inlay plug tool path. Im using carbide create build 778. I use inch increments. Advanced V carve. What are the recommended settings for “ plug depth D” and “ top gap S” . I am doing simple inlay monogram using capital letter U. Suggestions please
Thanks, David
How thick is your stock?
What angle tool are you using? How is it defined?
Did you try the settings from:
Using 3/4” stock, 60 degree V bit
The recommendation in the link @WillAdams provided is to make the plug depth .5mm (.02") less than the pocket depth. So if you have, for example, a pocket depth of .25", make your plug depth .25" - .02" = .23".
For the Top Gap, the recommendation is to use 1mm (.04")
I tested these setting and they worked great - see New inlay feature works great
