Prefer Glenmorangie in my mouth instead of dimple in the base .. prost!

And if you drill close, always blow out the hole before you put in the screw. Otherwise you may get a dimple on the bottom (ask me why i know that).

That would make sense. Friend said he took 1mm off his core profile and it was still too stiff.

So the 750glass -> 450 carbon should make it around 1.8 times stiffer (based on your x3 formula)

Maybe twizz chimes in

Lol, my denglish seems to lead to the wrong direction ;) Normally i use just 1 layer of 750 triax glas. Now i like to use just 1 layer of 450 triax carbon. In my opinion it would make the ski stiffer with same core dimensions. So ... how much to shave off the core to get with the carbon same flex as...

Btw. did you compensate for the inner edges flex wise? I assume you will get a stiffer board with the same core profile (2 edges more, inside abs/urethane)

The binding screws are no problem, the 6mm was mid shovel! Problem with my machine did create just problems in the thinner parts of the core, not the center. I will reshape the core so the original profile is back, the whole core will be then about 0.5 - 1.0 mm thinner (i did build this core profile...

Thanks for the info crismp. Maybe a 2 meter long magnet would help during glue up

Reg. you last post. The center edges are straight (or should be) so why not make a fence like on a tablesaw or on a stationary router!? You just have to get two long straight grindings, no?

Too thin is up to 0.5/0.8 mm mid shovel (e.g 6 -> 5.5) on a superwide ski. Dont have exact measurements on hand, the core sits somewhere in my workshop since last winter. Is there no thumb rule for glas -> carbon (like 15% less core)? Would be cool to have a starting point. From then its experimenti...

Good idea. But ... i like to experiment with carbon anyways and the material i already have laying aound.

Have a f.u. core from last season which my machine made too thin on some places. Its ash wood. Do you guys think its possible to use carbon (450g triax) instead of glas (750g triax) to compensate for the missing thickness? Or lets ask like that ... how much can be a core thinner when using this carb...

How straight are your inside edges after layup & baking? Still try to figure out how to do it the best way.

My current idea is to use a one piece core with center abs/pu stripe and route it in the middle for the edges. Dont know if this is practical....

Instead of building skis i play heavy metal .... hope to have it finished by next week (which is an illusion)

Thats true because its more easy to work with (router).

Motoman used another wood and was not so happy ... http://www.skibuilders.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4991

Thats cool, didnt know that place. Hopefully the lawyer situation in eu gets not f.u. like in the states....

For apres ski without snow you dont need your skis in front
