PRECISION CNC WOODWORKING & INLAY CAM
CNC Inlay Prismatic V-Carve Pocket & Plug Mating Calculator
Calculate start depth, flat depth, glue squeeze-out gap, and saw cutoff clearance for tapered V-carve inlays in hardwood, epoxy, brass, and acrylic.
1. V-Bit Tooling & Geometry
Total carved pocket depth in the base workpiece.
2. Male Plug Parameters
Z-offset above the plug surface before V-carving begins. Leaves glue gap!
Depth carved below Start Depth. Determines plug penetration into female pocket.
