Hi Corey,,, you'er welcome

How was your trip ?

I know you have a lathe ,,and you must have some HARD maple around , you can make your own 1/4" inlay setup, Use a standard 7/16" OD brass guide, then make a ring out of Maple that's 7/16" ID and .937 OD and then cut it off at 1/4" long then drill and tap it out on the side to take on a a 6-32 Allen set screw...then maple will hold the threads for the set screw...it will act like a locking device for the set screw..

mike the brass guide you have they are all not made all the same, what every it is add a .500 to it and that will be the ring OD size you will need to have...BUT it must be dead on.... with in .005 when you make it..

I used Alum. to make one but I have a metal lathe...


Below you will see some snapshots how to make a inlay set for the 1/4" bit.
