new here, hello everyone


i have oval and heart shaped peices of marble from an etching company, need to make a jig for the marble to insert into the oak frame, been a woodworker for 25 years and this ones tricky, the easyest way i can come up with is the 1/4 bit with the bushing following the template?

am i on the right track?

thanks

That will leave a 'sloppy' insert You need to rout an intermediate template in MDF then rout the template required
If you rout a template with a 16mm template guide and a 4mm cutter then you can rout the shape you require into the oak frame with a 30mm guide and 10mm cutter. Don't ask me to do the calculations in imperial as it is some 40+ years since we went metric.

Inlay Sets - Lee Valley Tools
Not sure exactly how big your heart is, but here goes. I use a bushing inlay kit 1/4" bit to get to having a 3/4" template then using carpet tape position template where I want to inlay and the go to a larger bit with bearing of the bit size on the shank and do the cut out for the inlay. While it has an extra step, which has been pointed out, I use this method for inlaying intarsia opjects all the time. Hope this helps you out and understand there are many ways to do this, but I have found this to work for me.:thank_you2:
