I've wanted to cut some inlay with my PRT alpha for some time but have always been afraid too. I've been lurking at the precise bits site for a while and finally purchased their precise collet for the PC and a couple of 1/32 bits. All is well. Cuts like a champ. I have not seen much info from anyone about cutting inlay, so I hope this will be a starting point. I cut this abalone (.06 thick) at 21000 rpm and 8 IPM. The only problem is that I am glueing it down with a water based glue so I can release it easily in water. But it is taking more time than I have patience for the glue to dry so tomorrow I am going to buy some hide glue and use that instead. The "B" did have a curly q on the bottom but broke off since the glue was not all the way dry. oh well, still looks good. If anyone else has experience cutting inlay on the bot, please reply with your parameters and results (especially if you are using a PC router).
