We are one of the companies Vince is referring to who can't get all the bubbles out. We have tried everything. Rollers don't work because the top sheet lifts in certain spots. We have loaded it with resin and then rolled the top sheet over. We have poured the resin down the middle. We have let the r...

This is what we use: https://new.grainger.com/product/3M-Adh ... Tape-6JT04

A bit pricey but works great! Place it on your core side and use a utility knife blade to trim it down.

It has a freely rotating bearing and i leave my spindle free as well. I tried the grinded shank as well but could never get the blade to run straight. It wobbled on me. I think the blade style keeps it pointed in a consistant line. I have tried tried many different bits and none of them work. I paid...

When you were testing the 1" steel rods, how much deflection did they have? It was bowing the 1" rod in the middle by a 1/2"(span of 14") and I stopped. IMO it shouldn't bow/flex at all. You could try 2 rods/side but the problem is if you don't get the holes exactly in the same ...

Almost complete. I made a few design revisions. The 1" bar on each side to hold down the press didn't work. The bar deflected quite a bit and I didn't feel comfortable with it. Plan B was to welded some c channel to each side and press with wood spacers under the C-Channel. It didnt hold and th...
