rmartuszewski Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I watched a video, and a guy was using what he called a Scratch Stock tool. He made his in video, and been searching for it online. I want to try and make some inlay banding, then use a scratch stock tool to grove out the channel to inlay the banding into. Does any company make one? Or does the tool have to be made? Is there a better way to get the channel into the drawer face, without it running all the way to the edge of the face. IE a box inside the face? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tpt life Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Try beading in your search.http://www.leevalley.com/US/wood/page.aspx?p=62030&cat=1,41182http://www.hocktools.com/products/sc075.htmlhttp://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=32679&cat=1,230,41182https://www.lie-nielsen.com/product/bronze-beading-tool-and-blade-set That is more about the tool and less about the best way to do what you want.

Gilgaron Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Lee Valley also makes some inlay cutterhead for their router plane. I got it for Christmas but haven't tried using it yet. I do use my Veritas beading tool and I don't know that I'd try it for making inlay grooves, but perhaps it would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Sorry to confuse. I only meant that beading tools are scratch stock tools. I have been using a 45 and 55 for shallow trenches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 For inlays the width of your sample picture I would use a router or a router plane. There are marking gauges with a knife blade instead of a scratch point, this would help define the inner and outer edge of the recess, then route the area between to depth.

wtnhighlander Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Even if you use a scratch stock, you need to define the edges of the trench going ACROSS the grain with a knife, before you start scraping out the waste. Otherwise, you'll tear the edges out badly. Scraping along the grain isn't so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmartuszewski Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Thanks for the links and info guys. Now to save up and get one. Also pic was not 100%, just using that as idea. The banding I want to make wil be much narrower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 We have a fairly good number of hours at beading. I have several different types, but favorite is the cheaper wooden LV one-third link in post #3 above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
