🔍 An inlay kit allows you to use your router to cut a **recess (mortise)** in a workpiece and a perfectly matching **inlay piece** that fits into that recess. It basically turns your router into a precision inlay-cutting system. Using a template and the special bushings and collars in the kit, you can cut shapes (like logos, lettering, or decorative patterns) and then cut a matching plug of the same shape that drops into the first cut. This is great for adding decorative wood inlays, repairing defects with dutchman/bowtie patches, or doing lettering and designs in a different colored wood. The SpeTool inlay kit, for example, enables very intricate patterns and detailed engravings on wood surfaces by guiding the router accurately:contentReference[oaicite:40]{index=40}. In short, it’s a tool for creating professional-looking inlays and infill pieces with just a router and a template.
