It ain't clutter. It's a compliment followed by a single question and answer.
Want every post to concern your planer crib, move it to a journal. That said....looks like your working hard. Good to see
Didnt want to sound rude but i did read almost the whole forum in the last year and its always a pity if you have (maybe) interesting threads where the information is hidden between lots of offtopic. Maybe im little bit too sensitive cause of lots of forum experience in other tech. areas.
btw. it wasnt your post im complaining, no prob with little joke in betweeen (i posted the pinky stuff too) but when our is saska guy starts explaining his history i felt it would go very off topic soon.
So back to topic ... LOL ... Tests look promising. Did work on this "i do a quick modification" yesterday till 4 in the morning.
The holding force of the holes is very good, need a lot of pull (almost impossible) to lift the core. I have smaller holes (5mm vs 7mm now) in my ski vaac table. Will see later if im good.
If i would do it again (maybe i modify it later) i would do the trust rails with really thick steel (5-10mm), the flat 3mm steel distorts a little bit with the screws. Were talking less then 0,1mm but for now it should be ok.
Doing the recalc of the spacers now and will try on real core afterwards. Hope i feel like brain after, no pinky. Or maybe better to be pinky?
But unfortunately it didnt help. My raw cores (12-15mm, most with "camber/pretension" already) dont get sucked down. The ends are lifting. A little bit of hotglue helped. When the ends are planed down to approx 6mm everything is fine. Was the same without the new holes.
I tested before with a half shaped core, so i was i little bit overoptimistic.
Maybe i have to open the inner vacuum ports more (inside the crib) or i need a second shop vac.
