My cut settings for this inlay:
*DISCLAIMER!!*
These settings may not be the end all/be all answer to perfect inlays.
There are many more variables to consider than just cut settings.
No two CNC machines are the same and your mileage may, and most likely will vary!!
It's best to test and practice and figure out what settings are best for YOU!

Any time you can increase your creative skill set it's a good thing. I am in my 70's and just took up a CNC a year ago. Learning all the software and the nuances of the CNC machine has been a great experience. Never too old to learn a new skill. Thanks for sharing your knowledge .

[derekludlow]

I’m a Derek! But unlike the other I appreciate all the skills required to do what you do. I’ve been a wood worker for 35 years and I’m still intimidated by my CNC. The haters will always hate so just keep doing what you do!

Hey, I'm a 76 year old great grandmother, and that CNC work was wayyy more work than I want to do. It's beautiful!!! All I've made so far is a regular cutting board, and I'm really proud of myself. There is pride of knowing you did your best, and there is pride when you think you're better than others. Even God bragged at the end of each day when He created everything by saying it was "good". When He created man He said that was "very good". Glad you didn't let that comment get you down.

Been in California for many years but the family is from Tennessee so I don't mind the southern accent at all. I've had a CNC for several years and have learned you need to be an artist for designs and an engineer for getting the software to perform the way you want. And also a mechanic to make sure the CNC is working properly. Mostly a woodworker to see a piece of wood for what it can become sitting on a shelf, table, or kitchen counter. Amen y'all

[scottjohnson]

Amen!! Thanks for those lovely words, cause half these folks have no clue on the work it takes to make something beautiful, unique and special for that client or special someone. Look forward to your next one!

[ianthetech]

Im in my second week of owning my own CNC. Took a leap of faith, invested in myself and here i am. You're little rant did me some good. I'm diving headfirst into self employment and naysayers are many. Thanks for the positive and optimist feelings

[AndyCiordia]

I tell folks to sit back and fire your videos up like a warm fire. You've taught me a lot and I really enjoyed it. Thanks.🍻

Mate, I've built quite a few cnc machines including four and five axis ones and metal mills. I've posted a few of my builds on woodworking sites and get comments like "you're not a real woodworker, you just copy / paste". There will always be ignorant people that are afraid of what can be done with a cnc machine. I'm just starting to get into inlays and have been watching a few videos on the subject. Without people like you I would never have had the success I'm starting to get so keep up the good work so the enthusiasts can learn and the ignorant can be jelous.

[williammccollough]

Amen indeed, Brother. I hear you. There are a lot of small-minded people out there who, as you so aptly described, do not know what it takes to create something beautiful. I thank you for being willing to share your hard work. You have it right. This is a gift from God who allows us to co-create within His world.

[rhebostatfibulator]

Amen, hallelujah brother. Now climb down off the cross, I could use the wood. . . Excellent work, look forward to more.
Thanks for taking the time to record, edit, and post your work. Not everyone appreciates how much time it adds to a project.

[MarkLindsayCNC]

Okay, you now have me scrambling to figure out where I can put a shop press into my tiny shop. I like the scissor jack modification, BTW.

[maccaslasher]

Great job m8. Ive been cnc ing for about 3 years and have had lots of mixed results with inlays, so i know how difficult they can be. inspiring stuff, well done.

[aaronswoodshed]

I enjoyed the video. To date I've made about 14 cutting boards. One thing I really liked was that you put the pocket and inlay numbers in the description. That's a huge help for anyone just starting out. It took me hours of testing until I got the numbers I was happy with. The video format was good keep it up.

[dbockman]

Very well stated! Don't allow critical people to affect your creativity. You have a significant talent.

[richwallace]

I just found you. Amen!! Been wanting to step up my end grain cutting boards. Have stayed away from the cnc. One it intimidated me, two I thought, one more tool, plus learning the darn thing. Watching you and some others, I’m taking a second look. Plus, I like the voice over. I hate guys spending ten minutes explaining how they are going to turn the machine on. Turn it on, I figure some of it out while I watch. Lol. Thanks for the time to share with us what you’ve learned.

[williamvalachovic]

Love this video! I just set up my longmill mk 2 and sufaced my spoil board last night. Very excited to get carving. I've been looking forward to doing inlays and your video is inspiring!!! Thank you

[Cobyvincenr]

There is a lot time and effort spent on researching, planning and designing, cutting and painting, and just waiting on things to cure in these projects . The machine definitely is only a tool for the artist to use. Awesome work!!

[Zimm]

Very nice work! I've had my CNC for a few years now, and am currently working on my first end grain inlay. I've watched many videos and seen just as many recommendations for proper settings. So I've decided to just make my best guess and see what happens. Everything is an experiment ~ occasionally something beautiful happens!

[CncRouter]

I've had my cnc for about a year and a half and it has been my biggest challenge in woodworking

[FullStackWoodworking]

Nice job. It's so easy to make a mistake and trash days of work in an instant, so was good to see you handle the juice groove inlay without issue!
