Having trouble understanding the concept, with the bit zeroed out and the
base running on the inlay arn't you back to square one. Think I will stick
with the scraper...mjh

When making an inlay I usually leave the inlay a little proud and sand it
flush. Sometimes this will leave the area filling uneven as a result of
the wood surrounding the inlay getting sanded lower in the process.

I recently tried flushing the inlay with the plunge router and a straight
bit by first zeroing the depth with the work piece surface. I then make
small passes over the inlay instantly making it flush with the work. I
wonder why I never thought of this nor never seen this done before (Marks
nor Nahm nor FWW).

Is there a reason it is not done?
