Sorry to post this here but I can't seem to find a Router Forum and my idea will be used on my wood turnings.
I'm intent of making my OWN inlay multi part router system for bowl crack repair.
I have the basic idea but what I need to produce is a positioning piece into which any number of templates can fit.
In this way I could use a different template to cut out the different coloured parts of the inlay.
I am a long time woodworker and have done extensive work with plastics which I would like to make the parts from.
My problem is that I think the positioning piece would have to have a rebate around the edge into which the pattern parts would fit tightly. My issue is how to make the 'hole in the positioning piece.
I do have some ideas about using a square piece of hardboard and a router template guide to cut the hole but am not sure how to make the rebate.
I don't have access to CNC and this is a small job that I think might be overly expensive to have made.
I do know this Forum has a lot of very smart artists and craftspeople and I would really appreciate all ideas and input.
