v carve inlay test

[garylyb]

I've been wanting to try doing an inlay using the v bit technique for a while.

This is my first test, I was surprised at how easy it is, and just how accurate it is. The letter B is about 3 3/4 inches high.

I used a 60 degree v bit, and a 1/8 end mill to clear the pockets.




Here's the instructions for v carve:

I used artcam instead of v carve, the result is the same.

Wonderful job Gary! Thats a great non traditional use of the v-bits to get those sharp corners.

Awesome inlay! Thanks for posting the link to the instructions. I have been wanting to try this, but I wasn't sure how to proceed.
