There I was minding my own business, when the Lee Valley temptress raised its head in the form of a special offer with the introduction of their router plane box. Their medium and large router planes are on sale as well, along with the blades. They have the inlay cutter head on sale. Hmmm...
I have never done inlay, and my first thought was "hey, I can spend under $50 for the inlay cutter head and try doing inlay"..... The problem is that I don't think that it is that easy.
Has anyone ever used this head?
I assume that if I just want to run a straight line parallel to an edge, I can cut the profile, but I think that there is more to it.
They also sell:
Veritas String Inlay Scrapper, inlay chisel sets, compass center for their inlay tool system, etc. It just seems like there is much more to it so I should resist the urge.
