I have had this set for a few years, but have only just got round to using it. I made a Lexan ellipse template, Cut into a piece of test MDF, then removed the outside spacer and routed a piece of mahogany. A few strokes with a sandvik abrasive sheet and the mahogany slipped into the MDF. Perfect.
The real thing. Just like what it said on MLCS router inlay set
I Wagner safety planed the mahogany ellipse as it was not an even thickness. dead safe. Routed the elliptical hole. This is a job for a router table. I am off school with all this snow, school closed and no access to my router plate, so I turned my smaller Elu MOF96 upside down in the vice and cut away. Again a perfect fit. Added glue and too tight. If at first you don't succeed, hit it with a hammer, so in it went. I will leave it to dry, then cut an elliptical hole in the mahogany. It is for a guitar sound-hole rosette. Absolutely brilliant result.
