Controlling width of squares for inlays

I’m still new, I am making name plates and wish to place on inlay around the name. I places the box around the name but how do i change the dimensions of the width?

Someone may tell you a better way but what i would do is grab a box up on the left hand side. Lets say you want a 4" sqaure so make the box 4" sqaure. Set the cut to 1/8" deep then get another sqaure and set over the top and make it 3 3/8" sqaure. take the top sqaure and zero it out so it is white. Center the 2 together over your work and it should cut a wider line for you. There may be an easier way in easel but that is how i would do it.
