Stock inletting

these are fairly easy to make, piece of ready rod, a dozen nuts to fit, dozen washers ground to the right diameter.

Nope.

Needs to have rubber washers between the cutting disks. And I have never found a washer that would hold an edge for any length of time as a cutting tool.

That tool is a stack of sharp, circular scraper disks, that sort of roll over on the rubber mount, depending on how hard you lean in to it, to vary the amount of cut. They are going to have to be sharp, hard, and secured but still able to flex.
 
I recently bought a set of these ones sold by brownells, I have only used them a couple times, but I sure like them.
I have also made a sureform like tiriaq described and it’s okay, but I don’t see myself using it much now that I have the new ones.

wow, those things have become expensive. I think I must have had mine for … 30 + years. They do work very well, but I have never used them on laminates or Maple.
 
Like been said, a socket , wrapped , with a piece of sand paper...go to CT, the have 5”and 6” sanding discs which are sticky backed...comes it packs of 5-6 so you don’t have to buy 50 at a time!, work well, also a Dremel tool, I uses a flex shaft on mine, with sanding drums...lots of different size, and finish sand with a piece of pipe,or socket, wrapped in the sandpaper sticky.

My first couple inletting jobs, I was cheap, and built my own scrapers from old screwdrivers. Heat, hammer/flatten, bend, sharpen. It’s a hobo way of doing it, but it worked for me, And was cost free.

Tbh, I do have the tools listed above in the mail as I type. The proper tool for the job makes things that much easier, and will probably do a better overall job.
