Been awhile. Figure I would bump this up with some current factory photos. Took these in the middle of production so sort of a mess, but we finally have a factory that runs (fairly) efficiently. It is crazy how much factory space changes - already have new things we are working on for 2016. http://c...

Re: CNC vs Planer
For one-offs the CNC seems the only way to go. However, I would think if you found a core profile that really worked for you and you wanted to crank out 5 sets of cores the planner might be faster. This. Prototypes = CNC. Production = Planer. Speed isn't even close. We have a decent planer (though ...

Profile sidewall.
Rip profiled sidewall
Attach.
No emotional pain.
Still surprised when I see people trying to profile with sidewalls attached. Much easier ways....

This was originally Hydrant71's Press (jason). We bought it but never ended up using it (was a bit small for our longer skis) so sold it and just built our own. Not sure what it still has but this is what it looks like when set up: http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h94/hydrant71_2006/snowboard%20con...

Ridgid Shopvac from home depot. Lifetime warranty so just go in and swap it when the motor burns out. I still have that nice vac pump if someone wants it to vacuum bag skis. Not sure why we haven't sold it yet. I will put it up for sale soon. But yeah - my advice is go simple and cheap. Don't try to...

Iggy - feel free to jump in at this point Sounds like the problem got resolved for the OP but just my brief experience.... I hate prebending. Absolutely hate it. I did it all through my home building in Tacoma, and the first hundred or so pairs of ON3Ps back in our first season of production. Chang...
