Wooden Inlays: CNC Magic on End grain Cutting Boards

Hey there! Get ready to join me on an exciting woodworking adventure as we transform a set of three end grain cutting boards with custom "cuts" inlays, with the help of our trusty Onefinity Elite CNC.

This video was made in partnership with Titebond. Thank you again for sponsoring us!

In this video, I'm taking you along every step of the inlay journey – from initial cuts to the gluing process, and all the way to the finishing touches. Together, we'll dive into my workflow, and I won't shy away from sharing how I tackle those unexpected hiccups that come our way. This isn't just about the successes; I'll be revealing my mistakes too, because let's face it, we all learn and grow through those.

Man those came out killer! Love seeing all the cuts of meat on each animal, what a great idea. Appreciate the shout out brother 🙏

[BruceAUlrich]

Those turned out fantastic! I really like the maple and cherry one. I know it’s inconsistent, but I like it.

[WoodshopOutBack]

Thanks for the pointers! I love the wide contour bit!

[McStayWoodworks]

I like the Cow best the contrast looks amazing. My wife liked the pig board best. Thanks for sharing!

[MelvinRooter]

The larger profile handle bit looks good!

[johnhill]

Great video as usual.
Would love to see your vcarve settings on that 6.2 degree bit.

I've been using the Amana rc-2267 for about 3 years. Little to no tear out on end grain, and a great overall surfacing bit. Great job on the cutting boards

[CoffeyCustomBuilds]

I really need to make some end grain boards. It's been about a year and I'm feeling the itch. I need to water pop more often. I'm so bad about it on boards.

[christophermcklveen]

Awesome work! Do you have a video or any info on your press you use for inlay glue up?

[codarussell]

Can you do a video on the pre? I’m trying to make something similar, but not really sure where to begin.

[AndyBlackman]

My inlays are not perfect yet. However, after watching this, I think its because I do not pay enough attention to the vectors. Thanks for sharing.

[jefferyatkisson]

Ever since I have gotten my CNC I have been wanting to do inlays! I have been nervous to try because I’m just not sure what wood to use for test cuts that aren’t gunna cost crazy amounts. Maple and walnut are def my goto’s! I might reach out and ask some questions if you have some time ! Loved the project thanks so much !

[jonfreer]

Hey there. Amazing work. I’m just getting into this and am seeing huge carving times (a coaster says it will take 13+ hours ). I have the 1/32 but you seem to use and was wondering if you use a clearing tool. Also what kind of carve times do you see on the vcarves? Just trying to get a sense of whether I’m way off. Thanks.

Thanks so much, got a couple friends that can help out w/that

[CreeAprendeyHazloHN]

Excellent, congratulation

What cnc machine is?

[MarkLasbyCNC]

I am ordering a Onefinity Elite Foreman. I like the dust boot you are using. Is it made by PWNCNC? Which version is it?

[vvirusty]

how do you make the tool paths. are you using the inlay section?

[skrtcsr]

What do you use to tint you CA glue? Its a great idea to know exactly where you've laid it down. Appreciate it!

[bigeasy_f]

can you share you start depths and finish depths on the male cut? i tried it with the same tappered ball mill you use and it ends up so thin the wood breaks of and its not even close to as thick as the female side. im copy and pasting the vector and mirroring it so the vector does not change.

[quacklanyards]

That’s so cool. How deep are the inlays? They look super deep.
