Wood Inlay With Dremel

I have dremel plunge router and circle cuttin.

Wood inlay with dremel.

Use a saw for cutting inlay. A dremel tool has a rotating head with interchangeable bits that you can use to cut and carve a variety of materials. Grab your dremel and your routing bits and watch dutch designer and visual ar. Big pores like those in red oak can cause problems too.

You can but dremel bits at lowe s 9901 or 9902 carbide would be good for hogging out inlay spaces but you d want to use a smaller cutter for fine outlines. Now that the outline is cut down you can remove the center material with a chisel. Remove the collar from the bushing reset the bit height to 3 16 below the bushing and rout the inlays. I wanted a tiny and accurate router base for making inlays and stuff like that its based to dremel circle cutting guide i had one spare and it has nice height adjustment so it made things much easier.

To inlay wood cut the inlay out of a thin piece of wood and use double sided tape to attach it to the other piece of wood. I use a foredom rotary tool with diamond bits for grinding and refining the inlay shape after cutting. If you want to carve designs or letters into a piece of wood a dremel tool will easily cut through the material and make intricate lines. Simple dremel router base for making inlays and engravings.

Make the inlays on the tool chest the inlays stand proud of the door face so we prepared a 3 8 x5x24 walnut blank. The epoxy gets into them and it s very difficult to get out which is a problem if the pores are on the surface alongside the inlay. Ready to learn some advanced techniques. Then trace the inlay onto the wood remove the inlay and use an x acto knife to cut into the traced lines.

For inlays flush with the surface prepare a 3 16 thick blank clamp the template to the blank shown below.
