Football is rubbish.
But anyway, I have also used the wafer thin stuff on a guitar... But laser cut into a logo and stuck under finish. Certainly not inlay

Its good to know smallwonder will offer custom thicknesses.

It can be calculated...
R = fretboard radius
c = width of inlay
h = height lost at outer edges of inlay (if centred in width of fretboard)
The units used for R and c must be the same - both inches, both mm, etc.
Calculation...
h = R - square root of all of this: R^2 - (c^2/4)
The ^2 bits mean the number is squared in case you aren't familiar with spreadsheet syntax. The c^2/4 bit is done first and then subtracted from R^2, the square root of that is found and subtracted from R.
The resulting value for h is in inches if that's what you used for R and c. To convert to millimetres, multiply by 25.4.
For a 9.5" fretboard radius and a 1" inlay, you should get 0.013167" or 0.33444mm. That's how much is sanded away at the outer edges of the inlay. Remember to account for any material lost at the middle and add that difference to the loss at the edges - if you take the middle down 0.2mm and then make the radius, your loss at the edges is 0.53444.

Copy and paste the following into a plain text editor, save it with a .CSV extension, and then load it into your preferred spreadsheet program...
"Inlay Height Calculator",,
"Finds height loss after radius is applied to fretboard",,
