Electric planer
Posted: Sat Jan 05, 2008 2:46 am
Hello.
I have just completed my first pair of skis, but among all the defaults I found, I think that the bumpy surface of my core was a major.
To make its base plan, I used the router method with straight rails but it seemed to me fastidious and not that accurate.
Thus, I was considering buying an electric planer to plan the core faster, and even profile it, as some of you are doing
The cheapest electric planer I found were about 200€ (350$). (example: link)
I guess these are not very robust nor precise, but would it be enough for ski building purposes?
Thanx for your advices!
