spiral blades and inlays


Recommended Posts

Joe, welcome to the site, it's nice to have you join us. As to your query, I haven't got a clue because I don't use spiral blades. I may be wrong, but I think you'd be better off using a flat blade. Spiral blades have quite the kerf, that's what makes me think they won't work. Others will chime in later, I'm curious to see what they have to say on this subject.

Spirals are designed for and work great for veining, pictures and other projects similar projects. As mentioned due to the kerf size they are not well suited for inlay work. You might get away with a spiral but you would have to do a lot of test cutting at different angles and using different thicknesses of wood. I like a #1 flat blade (Flying Dutchman Ultra Reverse) for my inlay projects.
