Grip tape for planer profiler

[kirol]

We were tired of our wood slipping around when profiling our cores so we through 2 peices of grip tape (available at your local skateboard shop for $5) on the wedge and walla no more slipping!

Here is what the surface now looks like:

Kipkirol,
Great idea! Here is another option for keeping the core attached, I use a drop of hot glue on each corner (core is not trimmed to shape) and this seem to work good also.

be careful with the griptape, I have destroyed several planner blades that way.

i`d love to get such a planer! but it`s nearly impossible in switzerland, such tools are 10times more expensive than anywhere else. and importing one is not worth it because then i had to pay huge fees for stupid things like custom duties and shit like that...

and nice idea with the griptape by the way

The planer should never come close to touching the grip tape if you do this right.

if you want a soft tip you have to come pretty close in the ends, (around 2mm) and if you make a mistake like using a too short core in the crib, those 2mm suddently seem very short.

I didn't meen to be negative, it's a great way to secure the core in a planer, I have been doing the same ting:

yeah, thats a very good point, maybe if we peeled the grip tape a couple of inches off the front
