Thanks Bob! This is actually a little trickier than the Spiro in my opinion. FIrst you need to make sure the bit and plate are centered properly. It goes pretty quick, just depends on how much removal you have to do.. just depends on the size of the template. I just used the same bit in the router to remove the interior just moving it back and forth cleaning it out. Also have to be sure that you have the depth set right so the inlay isnt to proud leaving a lot of sanding or not to low... sanding won't help there I hit mine about right. The hardest thing on this is making sure that when you cut out the actual inlay that you keep the bushing up tight to the template edge all the way around.. if you bobble inward you will have a divot in the edge of the inlay. All in all though not to hard and fun!
