Thank you also for the lead on Michael Fortune, I will seek out
information on this. Andy

Here's some specifics on Michael Fortune's tools and method.
Did this after sitting in on one of his demos at a woodworking
show. In addition to being one hell of a great woodworker, and
a very good teacher (see - it's simple - now go do it), he is
a really good, friendly, helpful person. We could use a lot more

If you REALLY want to go the router route - look into
the Micro-Fence "system" - a precision positionable
router fence with a precision plunge router base unit.

http://www.microfence.com/

Since router bits often are not EXACTLY the diameter
they say they are, and veneer inlays aren't EXACTLY
the width they say they are, this system lets you fine
tune the fit as EXACTLY as you want it to be.

Example"

1/8th inch router bit is actually micrometered at 0.121
1/8th inch inlay strip is actually mircormetered at 0.129
The inlay is 0.008" wider than the bit

To set the depth of cut, plunge to get the bit in contact
with the wood's surface. Raise the stop rod, place a piece
of your inlay strip on the stop, lower the stop rod and lock
it in place. Your groove depth will probably be just a tad
shallow - you want it to be shallow rather than too deep.

Make a first pass at the groove. Widen the groove by
dialing in another 0.008" and give yourself another few
thousands for expansion when glue is applied.

Make the second pass with the router.

Snap the inlay in place.

Hope this helps.
