Thanks dtrain Do i need the M5 or the M6 inserts? looks like miller studios sells the M6 but blank slate sells both M5 and M6. I am guessing that snowboards have a standard all around size. do the walking mode and heal risers use the same size too? i should probably get the voile system before layin...

Do the inserts that the ski-lab guys sell work for snowboard bindings? im making my first split board and I am going to be using the voile split boarding system. my understanding is that I have to use T-inserts pre-cure for the binding plate section but that the tip/tail clips I should install post ...

I am planning on pressing in 2 pieces just like i do skis. edges on all 4 sides. its gonna be a unidirectional board, rocker tip, a little bit of normal camber. my base template turned out pretty good. the inside edge seems to be pretty darn flush. i havent cut bases or tacked on edges yet. so if my...

I am making a split board for the first time. I am curious whats the best way to deal with the bindings. the plan is to use the voile split boarding system. is it best to use normal hole patterns found on most snowboards so that the rider can do adjustments to the bindings' position? how close of a ...

Any suggestions on how to improve my 2x6 steel tubing/ threaded rod reinforcement in the middle of the press? Initially I didn’t even use these reinforcements, but my long tubing was bending dramatically, like up to about 1 inch of deflection, but it wasn’t going past its plastic deformation point a...

I had a good time building these.... so much fun that i built two. (they were warrantied frames from kona, they all had one big crack in the chain-stay near the drop out) easy welding, except the tubing was thin and easy to blow through. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-JYOMNa5vMeg/TR1hEkl5VKI/AAA...

How thin are your cores? And what kind of composites are you using? My initial thought was that you aren't doing a balanced and symmetrical layup with relation to the fiber direction of the composites. With thick cores, it usually isnt noticeable. I have done experiments seeing how warping and twist...

Pmo ski co had its very first delamination last weekend. the ski had about 20 days of skiing on them. The skis used vertical bamboo flooring and i suspect that poor surface prep was the culprit. The base is delaming at the tail, full width of the ski and about 6 inches long into the ski. you could e...

yeah i agree with the previous fellas' insights. it probably wont be an issue becaues the epoxy should fill the gap. if it was really bad and interferred with sidewall or tip or tail then i might question it. if you talking like fingernail size crack, and only like 1 or 2 of them, i wouldnt worry.

im probably just misinterpreting the question but some regurgitated food for thought: yes there is a difference in the FCP in a rockered ski compared to a traditionally cambered ski. the FCP is much further back obviously, but twizz brings up some great points. this is a dynamic measurement because ...

No I wasn't able to make it down by myself. I called my ski partner to come down and take my ski off (I wouldnt have expected any binding to release because I wasnt applying any sideways force) I then put the ski back on and went to turn and my knee buckled. Skiing 1 ski was not possible, it was too...

Well, I tore my ACL while skiing on these stiff skis, about 3 weeks ago. There were a lot of factors that contributed to this injury/accident, and I dont think i should blame the stiffness of these skis, but its possible that they were a factor. they are basically stiff, groomer, super G race inspir...

Can you post some pictures of the ski press inside of the box?

I dont do it either. But I think it is one of the areas that needs improment in my process and high quality ski tuners will tell me that.

I would do it before profiling
