On my fathers thickness sander we were able to take off 1mm of maple per pass! And it was 8inche wide piece! We were using a 60 grit and had the self feed at its slowest and of course had a vac system to clear the dust to stop the paper from getting clogged! He also has this block (not sure what it ...

Im currently in the process of building a thickness sander! I used the above design as a base and am building something sturdy and adjustable!

I layed alum. over the wood mold and inlayed rare earth magnets then did a layer of 18 oz plain weave glass and resin over that to fill any inperfections in my magnets. then cut piece of alum. to exact outside dim. of my ski and ...

I tried west system at the beginning and had dry spots and problems with flexing causing delams.. switched to System Three silvertip laminating resin and its actually cheaper and is easy to use 2:1 ratio and works like a charm. And I got it from a place in Calgary AB

I took it one step further and inbetween my bottom mold ribs I have fastened 1/2 hose just below the mold surface and am running a automotive recirculating block heater and a pump.
