I gave up on the router for sidewalls and built a tilt table for my small belt sander.
Run it at 90* for the initial cleanup then tilt the table and bevel side walls.
Way less stressful.

A bit late to this party but the black belts work like a hot damn for a short while then stop cutting. They are really aggressive but dull very quickly. I've been buying belts from Skikare found they are cheaper than econaway. http://www.skikare.com/ One of their sales guys popped by my garage for a...

Can't answer the fusion question. but... I'm not sure why this wouldn't work if your skis were center mounted. The first generation planer profilers did just that, profile one end then flip it all and do the other. CNC should make it easy. Just have to figure out set back, and whether you want a fla...

100% solids epoxy usually are 0 VOC's PU's are generally low VOC's I think you may have a hard time finding a suitable replacement. Flax eats a lot of epoxy and this adds to weight as well as more product use. Pre-cure would still need some sort of glue and would require a lot more grinding, sanding...

Did you ever find your leak??? Pressed a ski last week and my press frame now has a pretty good leak it didn't have before the move out to the new shop. I could hear it and tried to seal it up but ended up just going with it and pressing the skis. 5cfm vacuum pump was still reading 24inhg at the gau...

Looking at this post makes me both sad and incredibly angry. F'n photophucket has screwed almost every forum on the internet!!!

You can buy a cheap vacuum gauge at any auto parts store. Back in the day mechanics would use them to troubleshoot carburetor/engine problems etc. That's where I got mine. (Haven't had to use it on a car in years, just collecting dust in my tool box) It doesn't have to be super accurate, but will le...
