How This Should Work
This is how checkering works! This example is 20 lines per inch, cut to a depth of 0.025"
You scribe your first line with the 60˚ cutter then run the rest of the pattern with the spacing cutter.
The you take the 60˚ cutter and cut your initial pass First two cuts in the picture from the left. You don't cut all the way down to the finish depth of 0.025", but I wanted to exaggerate what was happening.
Then you take the 75˚ cutter and widen the furrow and deepen the cut.
Then you take the 90˚ cutter and make the little diamonds all pointy!
Fewer lines per inch, deeper furrows. More lines per inch, shallower furrows.
I can tell that this is going to be a tactile skill and practice will make perfect.
