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:

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

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.kipkirol wrote:The planer should never come close to touching the grip tape if you do this right.endre wrote:be careful with the griptape, I have destroyed several planner blades that way.
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
