I approach every inlay section keeping in mind which exit point will reduce the chance of the section breaking, and/or needing further cutting/filing.
Hold the saw blade perfectly vertical as you saw. This will make the edges of your inlay square, easier to fit to other inlay sections, and easier to inlay.
I cut the printed line in half with the saw blade, leaving the half of the line bordering the inlay section. This way any intersecting inlay pieces with fit perfectly together.
When you come to a sharp point or fine line in an inlay section:
• cut to the end of the point, back the blade out (keeping the blade vertical)
• make a right angle cut in the waste area of the inlay blank
• turn the blade around (moving the saw up and down as you turn to keep it from binding and breaking)
• back the blade into the fine point
• exit the point and continue cutting the rest of the section out
Continue cutting out all of the sections and assemble them, face down on the reverse image assembly table with a drop of Cyanoacrylate.
