Are there some CNC services that can cut some MOP nameplates suitable for inlaying in a fretboard? thanks, Damon |

Yes, lots of them. Pretty much anyone cutting CNC can cut shell. I've used precisionpearlinlay.com in the past and had great results. |

Sure there are....but unless you've done this before you'll probably learn a thing or two about cutting inside corners. Basically...since the machine cuts with a round bit...and very, very tiny round bits take MUCH longer to cut with, you're going to find that creating a design with sharp internal corners drives the price up. |

I do them by hand . CP inlay does hand cutting at very reasonable prices and will be more accurate than you may think, Also no set up fee. 518-483-7685 |

I have Andy Birko make these beautiful "S" medallions on his amazingly incredible CNC program, from a drawing I submitted to him. Sorry for the sideways orientation. I can't see how they could look any nicer, especially if they were done by hand. |

I guess you all are missing my point. I always try and encourage people to try and do it themselves. |

Actually we were trying to help answer the guy's question, which was are there any CNC services that cut MOP nameplates for inlaying into fretboards. Answering his question doesn't mean we are missing your point.  Try to picture me saying this with a smile and pleasant tone to my voice.
