Sidewall flame treatment jig
Just found that on the Donek's FB page (sorry if you don't have FB...)
That's brilliant !

A bad day skiing is always better than a good one at work...
Cool but seems like a lot if work for a pretty simple task...?
How many passes with a propane torch do you guys use?
I typically do 6-8 quick passes (~1ft/sec) over each sidewall surface. I do a basic water drop test and observe changes in the drop shape after every 2 passes. Once the drop flattens out to where it looks similar to a drop placed on the wood I stop.

I basically do two passes... once in each direction, a little slower than you do. I agree, this is a clever rig, but it still relies on the human to have a good rate. Just ensures consistent positioning.Vinman wrote: How many passes with a propane torch do you guys use?
Still, I'm all for homemade things like this. I've certainly made more complicated things that did simpler jobs, worse
That Mach setting is for a plasma cutter. Mounting a propane trove on a CNC to flame treat sidewalls would be just a bit of overkill.

Abrade before flaming.
1. Flaming removes some of the micro hairs
2. You want to flame treat the structure you just put into the material
