This is about trying to do inlay where my traditional straight line and curve inlay tools are not optimal----way off the edge of wood, for instance.
So-last two weekends I been trying to inlay some very minute (3/4") letters into some Cherry. Will also want to inlay long straight lines way off edge inside some letter trays.
So, I got a 1/32" downcut spiral bit, chucked it into my Rotozip, and did OK till I set it down on the bit, and it snapped off immediately.
Those such bits are around $20 each.
Not good.
I stumbled upon some engraving bits in the LV catalog for $3 each. Will likely leave a pretty ragged surface edge if used for inlay, right?
Is there a decent solution to trying to get a 1/32" or so inlay w a router using a less expensive engraving bit?
Thanks a bunch.
