|  Inlay...fits..no fit Hello scrollers Thought I would try the inlay plate in our new mag issue # 31 SSWC. I did the sample test for table degree tilt, and after 7 tries I got the test piece to fit. Whew! Now trying to fit the larger piece it does not fit as well as the sample piece. My question is: do you have to tilt the table more for larger pieces? Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

| According to John A. Nelson there are three factors to consider when doing inlay work. Thickness of the wood Thickness of the blade and the angle of the table top. I make a lot of "experimental cuts" if any of the three items listed, change. I keep a log of the results for future reference. That is my 2 cents, hope it helps.

| If by "larger" you mean "thicker", then, yes, that will make a difference. If you calculate the angle to get a good first approximation, the thickness of the wood is indeed in the formula.

| Are you making your practice cuts in the exact same wood that you are doing your inlay with? Also - when you cut, do you rest your arms on the saw table? I found that I was leaning on the table which causes the angle to change a tich.... Theresa |
