Creative

Hidden Wireless Charger Recess

Plunge-cut a clean rectangular pocket on the underside of a nightstand or desk to seat a Qi charger within 1.5 in depth. The Curved-Tec profile helps you start and stop precisely, minimizing overcuts. Add a shallow cable channel to route the cord invisibly to the back edge.


Butterfly Inlay Stabilizers

Lay out bowtie shapes over cracks in a live-edge slab, then use the blade to plunge and outline the mortises. The controlled, low-vibration cuts yield tight-fitting recesses for prefabricated or shop-made inlays. Finish by gluing in the bowties and flush-trimming.


Recessed Finger Pulls

Create sleek, handle-free drawer fronts and sliding doors by plunge-cutting shallow rectangular recesses as finger pulls. The 1.25 in cutting width suits most pull sizes; round the edges with sandpaper for a comfortable grip.


Cabinet Vent/Speaker Grilles

Add rectangular ventilation or speaker openings to media cabinets or closets. Use the laser-etched markings to stay aligned and the curved blade to enter and exit without overcutting corners. Finish with a mesh or louver insert.


Floating Shelf Bracket Mortises

Cut precise mortises in the back of a wooden shelf to accept concealed rod brackets. The Starlock blade’s control helps fit brackets snugly; add screw access notches and a cable pass-through for a clean, floating look.
