We tried a couple of times but haven't gotten any stellar results yet. The MOP seems to almost want to melt, and the edges are not clean. We need to play with it some more. The industry is still mostly cutting shell with mills or by hand (believe it or not). Still, it's fun and in the mean time I can hone my skills. I always wanted to become good at inlay work, and I'll only get there by doing it, so I don't mind doing it by hand for the time being until we figure it out, or I break down and buy a CNC mill
