Hey redbull. I have been thinking about this a bit. You can get large sheets of what they make fridge magnets from. You could laminate a sheet to your aluminium cassette and then have a relatively cheap magnetic cassette. Ideally you place your base with edges and the magnets are strong enough to hold it in place. I'm not sure if that fridge magnet material is that strong though. I think to have non attached edges you not only need magnetic cassetes but a milled cassetet that is the exact tolerance of your edges and base. Then put the glass and core on top and with pressure the edges have nowhere to go.
Alternately use steel sheets and magnetise is somehow. Electromagnet?
It sounds like your dream would be a proper cassette milled from a magnetic material.

Can anyone tell me what the tool is in the video of wagner skis that Redbull posted. Its at 2:04 looks like some kind of base grinder connected to a drill?

I think it's power brush for structuring the base. I've seen the same thing in a Toko or Swix wax demo video.

yeah. It's called a rotobrush.

I think it might work on the wax on the base rather than the base itself. Not really sure.
here's another one in action. Looks like it would be wide enough for a snowboard
