If anybody knows a supplier in the U.S., please let me know. Your in Salt Lake? Composite One carries Vectorply. They make a couple of different bias carbon fabrics.

BGF has a seconds price list, 10/12 oz triaxial weave (faultless) runs about 18 a meter. Ask your glass rep (North American Composites or Composites One) to call them for it. The last I spoke with BGF they made no triax carbon and nothing with a +/- 45° orientation. Maybe my sales rep just didn't k...

We now make molds with our CNC router but in previous years I used a router table. I would have one rib cut out on a CNC at a machine shop. This rib would have holes in it where threaded rod would eventually go to hold all of the ribs together. I would then countersink those holes and use a nut and ...

We got a used Dela X5 from our local tool shop. It...

The flush trim router idea seems like it could work well. We just purchased a drum sander last week and it works great for profiling the cores with sidewalls attached. If you use a planer to profile the cores 3/4 of the way and then make a few passes on the drum sander you avoid any sidewall sniping...
