How do you take the piece out after the test fit to add glue?

“Jake did convince me to increase the size of the smallest feature on these letters from .06 inches to .08” inches
How do you do this in shaper studio?

[@kungfookielbasa]

When I was watching this I couldn’t help but think it’d be a cleaner fit if you mirrored the F so that the side that’s getting inserted into the pocket is on top, and has all of the support of the material under it while cutting to keep the shape accurate.

Where did you get that font ? I do not see it in Studio

Hi, love your sessions, the question I always ask myself and now asking you is,
Why not use a straight flue cutter instead of the upward spiral?
I see a lot of break out on the finish and sanding is applied after.
I know the waste chips extract better but for the finish edge to break out surely this defeats the object of the exercise.
Can it be possible to use straight fluted cutters to get a better finish without sanding?
Thanks
Ken (uk)

Using the right bit for the right application is key--you can absolutely use a straight-bit cutter if the material calls for it! Taking down the fuzz on the edge is usually a single swipe of some sandpaper, not much of an issue at all.

What is the German inlay specialists name? Spelling please.

I am a beginner with shaper origin. The inlay session is my dream to do. Where do you get the letters from? How are they transferred from your computer to origin? I really want to move forward in using shaper origin. I just turned 90 and am not that skilled in computer use but am determined to learn. Thanks, Hank

Hi Hank,
You can do simple typesetting for Origin using Shaper Studio: www.shapertools.com/studio

Solid wood is much better for inlay work, all plywood has the chance to delaminate.
