Circle Square with 1 inch inlay? (1 Viewer)

[TX_Golf_N_Poker]

As the title says, I am wondering if anyone has ever tried a one inch inlay on a CPC order for CSQ chips? CPC suggests not going over 7/8ths, but in a mock up, it sorta looks like it could work. And when I measure inside the debossed circle on a sample chip, I get 1.018 inches with a digital caliper. I do realize that's a tiny margin for error and that hand made clay chips are not going to have absolutely perfectly centered inlays.

So what do you guys say? Has anyone tried it? What was your experience and end result?

As you can see, I have a very detailed inlay. It would be a big plus to me to have Stevie a little bit bigger. And yes, I know I could pick a different mold that is more compatible with the 1 inch inlay. But I like CSQ.

Oh wow! These are not just an inch. They are the full inch and a sixteenth!

Not sure if you can tell from the pic, but with the 1" inlay, the outer inlay edges slightly roll down into the inner circle of the mold. Not a big deal at all IMHO...

I've seen (and own) several CSQ custom chips with oversize inlays, and I'm not a fan of the resulting look.

I think you could get by with 1" inlays, but I'd avoid anything larger.

Thanks for the input guys. It looks like there's no reason for me not to use a 1 inch inlay on my set. I will discuss it with David at some point.

It will be a while before I place my order, since I just missed the deadline for the upcoming run of CSQ. So I welcome any additional feedback on this. Would still like to see any other pics from anyone who has done this, and hear any reasons if you think I should not.

All the unused space inside the circle with a 7/8ths inlay sets off my OCD! Filling 100% of that space is a huge win.

This is what David told me when I asked him why 1" wasn't recommended
Exactly what Irish said
