What material are you using?

Nylon seems the best top for no chipping. PBT chips like a mo fo.

Hey Guys - Can anyone shed some insight on what you are doing for toolpaths specific for profiling? I have founds some solutions using vectric software but im not happy with the solution and would like to see if there are other easier solutions on there.

Just want to say thanks for sharing all of this hard work. I just put together our first CNC machine (CNC Mogul 24x80" cutting area) and got it moving last night.. exciting times. Happy to help on this project as I am sure it will help with more ski building and less time on the computer. Let m...

Lots of success with IPE.. No issues at all other than its tough on the blades.

That said, we are going to try UMHW this season but are considering changing the way we do things.

It bet railway ties would work as long as you could get enough and they had a flat section that could be used to make the cavity section of the press.. You would need some c channel or something welded to keep it in place.

I talked to a sales rep and for this application he recommended LOCTITE U05FL which should be able to withstand the heat of the press, is super strong and should be flexible enough to bounce back flat..

Some have used metal in a ski/board layup using VDS to help the bonding between metal and other material. What about abrading the metal surface, lay down a little bit of epoxy, then VDS, epoxy, and then another piece of abrade metal. Then press it until the epoxy sets. Just an idea... Never conside...

Hey Guys, We are considering making a '3d' cassette for a few of our shapes and have a few questions about what others have done. Where we are looking for help on comes down to the construction of the cassette - we are currently doing a flat layup and would prefer to keep things this way if possible...

Do you know the step size and what type (size) of tine these are?

In the past I have had the luxury of extra wide sidewalls on my cores so I could easily tape the core to the tip and tail spacer without the chance of the tape ending up in the ski. I recently made a few cores and the sidewalls are much narrower this time and I am afraid that the tape will end up in...

Dude the teeth go into the ski not along the running surface. Read more!

Thanks picked up a pair. Only 2 left.

What do you do for sidewalls?

Thanks, talked to Mark at CDW. They have 70m rolls. He quoted me $60 over the phone, 7-10 days shipping.

Shoot me a PM if you have. Need about 35 metres.. Less if its the wide stuff.
Cheers
