So made another set tonight.

pat at pm gear has a 3 phase montana for sale in reno.
Its small like 300 lbs

OOooo any idea how much he wants?

Now the real decision here is to buy a grinder/sander with my tax return or pay off debt...

Do you have 3-phase power at your shop?

I dont know if I have it coming into the building. I am in an industrial park so who knows? I believe I may have 3 phase as there used to be a machinist in here and I think the building manager said he was running some 3 phase equipment.

Could get a converter possibly?

I always forget about Teton...

Thanks for the link!

I've made a couple pair over the last couple of days.



and some 181's



And Just because I like this action-esque photo

What is the thickness on those cores? They look really thick and burly? Are they stiff?

I forget off the top of my head. I believe 11mm in the center and 2mm at the tips. They hold a phenomenal edge in ice/crud. Very limited torsional flex. They are kinda stiff. Deff not a park twin. More a hard charging all mountain ski.

*edit

the also look mega thick because they haven't been side cut yet. still the rough cut from the jig saw.

what are you doing for topsheets? sublimated clear nylon?

It's clear, high gloss nylon with 27lb matter paper at 300dpi for the graphics.

do you have bamboo veneer under some of them too? Or full length bamboo cores that aren't shaped prior to pressing?

No veneers. Just full length cores.

What are the gold coloured spots on the edge set shown in your photo please?
