Been awhile. Figure I would bump this up with some current factory photos. Took these in the middle of production so sort of a mess, but we finally have a factory that runs (fairly) efficiently. It is crazy how much factory space changes - already have new things we are working on for 2016. http://c...

Razor blade + Sheet sander. Best, most consistent method we have found.

That might be the best thing I've seen since 333 profiling cores with a chainsaw.

Re: CNC vs Planer

For one-offs the CNC seems the only way to go. However, I would think if you found a core profile that really worked for you and you wanted to crank out 5 sets of cores the planner might be faster. This. Prototypes = CNC. Production = Planer. Speed isn't even close. We have a decent planer (though ...

From my experience, easiest and most consistent method was to profile then route the edge notch using a rabbet bit on a router table. You obviously need to be careful that you don't go too deep, but that is the method I prefer if I need to do it.

Profile core.

Profile sidewall.

Rip profiled sidewall

Attach.

No emotional pain.

Still surprised when I see people trying to profile with sidewalls attached. Much easier ways....

This was originally Hydrant71's Press (jason). We bought it but never ended up using it (was a bit small for our longer skis) so sold it and just built our own. Not sure what it still has but this is what it looks like when set up: http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h94/hydrant71_2006/snowboard%20con...

Ridgid Shopvac from home depot. Lifetime warranty so just go in and swap it when the motor burns out. I still have that nice vac pump if someone wants it to vacuum bag skis. Not sure why we haven't sold it yet. I will put it up for sale soon. But yeah - my advice is go simple and cheap. Don't try to...
