kind of unrelated but can you profile core if you have access to a high quality CNC or will a CNC only cut out the shape?

that's so much simpler than I've seen from others, and relieving.

if it works fine then I'll do the same.

is the controller in the happy monkey website not the way to do it then? I looked up the costs for all the materials and it was like $250 and I can't make it so I would have had to hire an electrician too.

how did you guys make yours?

I thought it was more than just a PID and ssr, especially if your'e running two heat pads.

Don't you need a setup like this?: http://www.happymonkeysnowboards.com/Mo ... rmocouples

Simpler Heat Controller

Can you use something like this as a controller for the heat blankets? http://www.instructables.com/id/Precision-Temperature-Controller/ It's way easier and much cheaper to make than the standard issue one's I see most ski builders using, but I'm not sure if it will work for this purpose. I'm not ve...

thanks for the info, looks like I'll probably just increase the core profile a tad

so how do you think the major ski companies do it? do they just change the core profile to increase the stiffness in a small way? or if they were using composite would they use, for example, a 3" wide carbon tape in the longer ski compared to a 2" wide one in the shorter ski? If the skis h...

Do skis get stiffer with length?

I read that most major ski companies make their skis stiffer for each length of the same ski. For example, a certain K2 ski won´t be as a stiff at 160cm than at 180 cm. Are skis inherently stiffer as they get longer or do ski companies add more/thicker layers of fiberglass and carbon to make them mo...

could you stack 2 or 3 layers of p-tex and cut them all at once?
