olie. ballnose has a very small point of contact for making large relatively flat passes. i use cheapo bits from HomeDesperate or online for better (carbide). something more an one inch wide is ideal, i think i have a 1.25, 1.75 and 2.5 in bit set for surfacing. http://mcdn.toolking.com/catalog/prod...

we build and sell snowboards. we do not make a profit. burton sells snowboards, burton does not make a profit on their snowboards. let me rephrase, if you manage to sell enough snowboards to make a profit you end up spending all your profits on other arenas so that you can continue selling your prod...

so this is the "heart/brain" for most PID's, at 30 bucks each i say this is a great experiment. all i need are thermocouples and some other random wiring and displays. purchasing two of these today. will update.

so NIGHTMARE scored 3 new press bays for our factory (ancient beasts from the history of snowboard manufacturing in colorado) while we dont need that many bays (5) at the moment we hope to be growing into them in the next year. as we work out the pneumatics and electrical for each new press we reali...

post some pics, (or email em to me schneitr at gmail dot com) i might take the lot if it looks good.

bump for a good deal!

im sorry i couldnt be there to meet you but look forward to talking in the future! joe has some cool stuff worked up for mtn billy!

holy shit....
that is awesome, how did it ride on the way down?. i have been thinking about cnc cutting scales under the middle 2/3 of the snowboard so we dont need skins (less expensive, less to carry). but to see this done in wood, total proof.

keep working on rad shit.

i am in CO (silverthorne) and would be willing to help out depending on how much work it would be. if we have to cut molds cassettes etc the timing might be hard but if you have everything you need, i have a fully heated/cooled pneumatic press that can be made available for a day of pressing. what s...

been done in skate production for years and years. two problems already discussed, the profile shape changes with each tier so all the boards are essentially different. mega bad problem. also as you increase layers you increase resistance, so you need way more pressure in order to get a nice press o...

CO we have had similar problems too. i believe this is mainly related to the size of the cavity that the hose has to fill (less than 1.5in-2in) before we start loosing pressure. it needs to be tight in there to get even pressure side to side and front to back. too tight is also a problem, but brazen...

well, we have been so hard at work we almost forgot to snowboard this season. almost 80 snowboards built/sold/given away since we first started, i cant believe that we are still able to do this stuff! well anyway, we finally got our website up and running, so now we can focus on other things. i swea...

i have gotten bubbles like this only with a lack of pressure. related mostly to the size of the cavity that the firehose has to fill, if the cavity is too large or too small then the pressure gets funky and we begin to see bubbles in the base. we always heat to over 80C for resin flow, i dont think ...

alright, so i have received a ton of pm's and emails in just a few short days. we will absolutely be pulling the trigger on this order. i am in the process of receiving a solid quote and confirming the sizes that they stock here in the USA, i will then get an e-mail list together and start sending o...

hey guys, so it looks like we will be purchasing FAR too much edge material from CDW in the near future. i am expecting to purchase before the second week of jan and will expect delivery sometime before the end of feb. given that we will have an excess i will be offering up some of the extra for sal...

my problems with that vid. no cool tricks over the jumps, my nephew was better than that snowboarder,........ and biker. they both needed to be outfitted in those snow bike suits and helmets from back in the day. and a flat ground finish???? how would anyone without pedals win? some amazing competit...
