Re: core profiling
The long term solution is stop using a planer and start using a drum sander to profile cores and sidewalls.

Re: Sidewall profile (also new)
Profile your sidewalls 0.6mm thinner than your core so you don't need to rout a step for the edge tines.

Re: Splitboard halves gapping
I never said it was easy lol, but it does work perfectly.
Sand down some wood the same thickness as your edge, cut a strip about 5 or 6mm wide, glue it to the edges, use tape under the base to support the glue and handle it very carefully.

Re: Eliminating base warp....a guide.
Base material grows and shrinks with temp changes and edge does not to the same degree, so don't glue your edges on until the very last minute before you start the lay up and make sure the lay up surfaces are all at the same temp. Placing your base on a cold aluminium cassette will shrink the base w...

Re: Finishing Veneer with Epoxy bleed through
Cover the top sheet in epoxy, lay a sheet of baking paper on top and press, do not sand it once it is pressed.

Re: Splitboard halves gapping
Even with perfectly straight edges before pressing my splitboards always come out with a substancial gap in the middle. I make a thin strip of wood, the same thickness as the edge and press with the strip glued in between the 2 halves, like this I get perfectly straight edges.

Haha one day you will look back and laugh. The urge to press a board is strong but each step requires respect. You are far better off pulling those off and having another go, gain more experience and get a better board in the end. In fact forget pressing for lets say a week. Bend those edges, then s...

Dear Akiwi, yes it is expensive, we decided to produce our on inserts it is much more cheaper. But still the problem with magnetic caps is not solved.... you need to align your top sheet so that it can be installed in the exact same position before lay up. Then tape it to the core, flip it so the t...

I get consistently beautiful camber with and without veneer, so I would not assume that is your problem. I use sicomin epoxy and heat to 100°c/bottom 80°c/top for 10 mins, the whole process takes 25 mins. I pull it 30 mins later and cool it on its side. Personally I think the short sharp heat cycle ...
