How Good is The YoraHome 3018-Pro 300W/500W Spindle Upgrade Kit (Inlay Carving)
When I said at the end of my last blog that I thought I’d fallen back in love with carving, I should have said I’d fallen back in love with carving with the YoraHome CNC Router 3018-Pro, especially with the upgraded spindle!
This neat little machine with its 30 x 18 cm work bed doesn’t take up too much room and it is more than capable of doing the majority of what I want to achieve, there’s no getting away from it, I love this machine.
Having shown that the 3018-Pro CNC was able to compete with the bigger machines on 3D carving, there was one more thing I wanted to try with the spindle upgrade. And that was doing an Inlay.
What is Inlay Carving/ The Inlay Technique?
One of the most impressive things I see done with carving machines is Inlay Carving, where two or more pieces of material are combined too make one “flat” surface piece, that’s the simplest way I think I can explain it.
Or you could explain it as inserting or setting into a shallow or hollowed out surface a material of a different colour or type. Imagine the tourist jewellery box pieces with mother of pearl inlay. Hahahaha, that’s a bit further advanced than I’m doing here, but you get the idea.
Whatever the size of your CNC dreams, from carving to laser engraving, YoraHome can offer you it all.
