Another great video. Couldn't it be easier to fillet the corners in the sketch by half the width of the bit in use and then just use the profile toolpath.

I'm making a set of push thru letters with acrylic and aluminum just as your example here. Except the total length will be 264" wide or 6 sheets of aluminum. Some of the letters will have to span two sheets. I've created the tool paths for all of the letters correctly except for the few that span two sheets. When I create the toolpath to cut the outer profile, the letter that spans the two sheets is to small by the diameter of the bit. How do I correct for this?

How can I make it so that the step has the external or male piece and the embra fits and does not go to the bottom? And the other question is how to do this with letters that have centers? greetings from Mexico 🟩⬜🟥.

I think this tool path could’ve really used an example of putting the two pieces together, especially with the stepped inlay one. Still having a little hard time visualizing the step inlay.

I would like to see an example using a tapered bit to cut sharp corners as the old method of inlay did. Will this method make that process any easier?

Excellent explanation. Just one question, in what instances the stepped inlay option is selected? I am trying to understand the use case. Thanks.
