![]() (This capability is already native to VCarve Pro.) Note that additional CAD work, such as compensation for bit diameter, is not required. The optional use of an end mill may be useful to further reduce production time by hogging out large flat areas. The versatility of VCarve Pro allows both pocket and inlay to be cut using the same design and same V bit but with simple differences in parametrics between the cuts. This creates extremely accurate inlays showing little or no gaps between materials and rivaling the very best hand made inlays. The resulting inlays rest in their respective pockets by contact along the sides of the inlay and pocket. It is VCarve Pro's unique ability to correctly handle the bevels on lines, arcs and points that allows the inlays to be cut without bit diameter offsets encountered with traditional CNC inlay techniques. ![]() VCarve Inlay makes beveled inlays using a V bit to carve both the inlay and the inlay pocket.
