I've never tried anything like doing inlays. I purchased this set on Amazon and the first time I tried to do a inlay was great. My first atempt didn't do to well on cutting out the heart inlay, my second atempt went great I cofident the more I do the better I'll get and the more I'll enjoy it. SO FAR IT'S A BLAST I WOULD HIGHLY RECCOMEND ANYONE THINKING ABOUT TRYING TO DO INLAYS TO PURCHASE THIS KIT.

This really is a very easy jig to set up and operate. It does make very nice designs and snug fitting inlays. The provided templates do quite a few different patterns. The one thing I would like to see Milescraft come out with is a blank template that you can cutout your own pattern. They suggest to make a copy of their template to produce your own and I would much rather spend the time doing inlays than getting my own blank to fit perfectly into the holder.

THIS DESIGN INLAY KIT IS REALY SIMPLE TO USE,PUTS THAT EXTRA TOUCH TOO MY WOOD WORK,I MADE A LITTLE JIG TO HELP WITN MY SIGN MAKING,5 OUT OF 5,YOU WILL REALY INJOY THIS.

I absolutely love this inlay kit. It takes no time at all to master and create consistent, beautiful results. Very easy to comprehend instructions. If you're new to inlay in your wood crafts, this is a "must have" item.

this is fine for larger pieces of wood, but there is no way of determining center lines for smaller pieces as the inlay templates are all offset. (ie. to use the heart inlay) 1st response from customer service assumed I was an idiot and told me I needed to take the box lid off the box first (duh!!) never recieved a reply from them when I Clarified my original question.
By the time you are done making the elaborate fixturing they recommend, you may as well just make your own templates and use the Whiteside inlay kit, as it is faster and you give yourself many more options.
product is a good idea but poorly executed.
Customer service is piss poor at best.

I love this it makes it very easy to put a design into your woodwork and gives you an nice easy way to make something semi original completely original. my only complaint is that the instructions are just a piece of paper nothing special so why do I need to go online to get a few more design ideas. This is a huge inconvenience I do not like to take my computer out to the shop with me. The other complaint is there are only design ideas for two of the four templates granted the other two do not need much of an imagination but it would still be nice to see a few ideas instead of having to try and figure them out.

Overall I think this is an extremely nice and easy to use product that would have received 5 of 5 stars if not for the design instruction inconveniences.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who want to take the next step in woodworking.

I've used this a few times now and i can say its well worth the money. The only thing i could warn anyone about is to take your time, make sure its lock down, let the router quit running before you remove it. Because all its going to take is one time you hit with the router running its going to damage the template.

This is a tool that can be use by a new woodworker. very simple to understand.

Great kit it's easy to use I would recomend this product to any one interested in doing inlays or designs.

many designs to choose from. or make up your own as I have. about the only fault is there is on place on the back of the black frame to put 2 sided tape, if you have a smaller piece you want to work with. would also be kinda nice if there was a bigger version of this. all in all ya can't complain to much about this tool.

I was aware of this product for sometime but brushed it off as another of the many, many items advertised for the shop that never performed up to their claims. But I finally succumbed and purchased it from Amazon and now I am so happy that I did. This little item does all that they claim, and more. I have used it on the lids of some of my custom-built boxes and does it ever enhance each and every box I make! I just love the way that it works and would recommend this product to any and all craftsmen that are interested in enhancing whatever it is that they are fabricating. As you can see I just love it.
