So is 9mm underfoot too thick, and what if you do not bring the thickness down in the middle? I am asking this because there is a metric ton of info on ski core thicknesses on this site but nothing really on snowboard cores.

So I am going to make a snowboard this month and I really don't have any hard numbers to go off of for core profile thicknesses.

Correct me if I'm wrong, is 2mm-8mm-7.5mm-8mm-2mm an average score profile? Please school me.

Artski: Are what bit are you using?
I dig the hot pink sidewalls in the background!

That sums it up Twizz! Completely consuming, but all good.
Welcome to the madness Bridger.

I'm sure 1/2" dia x 6' piece will bend...there is also keyed alum shaft.

-only problem might be the transition into the tip/tail area. Kingswood ends the core staight and uses all tip fill.

Im with you DBS, I have just about had it with my planer set up. I have been thinking of using some 1/2" keyed shaft like this: http://img2.fastenal.com/productimages/0953121_hr4c.jpg It also looks like he is using a face mill bit or a spoilboard surfacing bit on the router. http://www.toolstod...

Are you rabbeting the sidewalls for the edge tines before you plane?
If you are, do it after.
Have like a 3-4" sacrificial piece on each end of the crib.

You went with the mag drill I see.. Those things kick ass.
Great looking press too! Looking forward to see your first build.

I am down for some also

Great job! Fn' awesome feeling isn't it! Like SD said, your going to need a plastic surgeon to remove the smile off your face when you ride them!

Got an email back from Zyvex: Hello Matt, The Epovex liquid adhesive is priced at $68.77/qt. kit; $276.40/gal. kit; and $1,412.05/5 gal. kit. As we are a small company, all of our prepreg is made to order and 25 lbs. is the minimum order size. We have commonly made 300 gsm (9 oz.) carbon unitape for...

Couldn't find it so I sent a request for price list on the epovex, arovex 180.
As well as a question as to how their products could improve my process....They love that crap.

If I remember the price was like $60 for a quart or 24oz, I'm not really sure. I do remember it being a little steep.

This was a while ago maybe the price has gone down since.
I will try to find the email

I have not heard of them, but I did talk to these guys briefly a couple years ago. They recommended epovex but I wasn't totally sold on it.
