tilledog Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 The thickness is 0.4mm and 0.3mm. Exactly J!! Seems to be the std. for Titanal sheet thicknesses in SB's right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray_on_tray Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Has the template been posted yet? Also, is there any appreciable difference between using lexan and a "cuttingboard?" I'll be going material shopping today or tomorrow and was just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cail Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 word of advice: DO NOT USE A DREMEL TOOL or the like!!! worst idea ever. had a hard time controlling it...it kept grabbing and going off track. i did a fair bit of grinding and sanding to make the edges look somewhat straight. one of the plates is about 1.5-2cm short in width on the one side. should look interesting. but the black paint makes them look slick. i'm makin 2 more over Christmas time with the leftover material. and this time i'll use a jigsaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastskiguy Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 based on your posts I wasn't expecting a mohawk....but this video was sure a nice thing to do, it'll help a lot of riders out there save their stuff. Seeing somebody take the time and effort to help out other riders without any monetary gain just made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!

cail Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 just put on the risers and F2 bindings. Bordy, you mentioned the locking washer. i have some split locking washers, but the screws i bought don't seem to be quite long enough with them (12mm screws). I think if i go with 16mm screws that will be too long. do you think if i just forgot the washers and went with loctite that would be fine? Thanks!

Thanks! only if you want to use a easy out to get the screws out! even blue loctite is not a good idea, also, I guess it does not play nice with some types of epoxy. avoid it.

wavechaser Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Man, those cutting boards are giving duct tape a run for its money! I use 'em for rudder stops on my racing kayak, skateboard slider glove pucks, snowboard binding risers, mast rake blocks on sailboats...and cutting meat!

Derf Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Isn't it supposed to be 6 turns (6 mm below the surface of the board)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob knox Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 If someone makes a *.dxf CAD file of the template, you could stack huge sheets of polycarbonate, nylon, carbon fiber... (see McMaster.com) in a waterjet cutter and make 100's at a time. Setup and cutting time would take all of 5 minutes. Alas I no longer have access to the cutter, but someone out there must. Which ever plastic you choose, watch the low temperature impact strength. All plastics ARE NOT EQUAL at low temps, again, search McMaster.com for plastic sheet and look at the material specs.

SEJ Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Boardy, awesome job on this! One question, Is the right material polypro or poly carb? They are very different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derf Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Polyethylene = cutting board Polycarbonate = Lexan = Nalgene bottle and safety glasses Polypropylene = thermal underwear and socks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buell Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 just put on the risers and F2 bindings.Bordy, you mentioned the locking washer. i have some split locking washers, but the screws i bought don't seem to be quite long enough with them (12mm screws). I think if i go with 16mm screws that will be too long. do you think if i just forgot the washers and went with loctite that would be fine? Thanks! I was having the same issue with the 12mm or 16mm screw lengths. The screws I found also had smaller heads than the original F2 screws which made me a bit nervous. Moreover, when I used the lock washers, I found that they could get stuck in the screw tracks on the binding base plate and actually damage the base plate metal I ended up using a normal washer, (same width as the original F2 screw head) that is one size bigger than the screw, against the base plate. Then I used a lock washer that is the same size as the screw on top of that. For me, this solved the issues that the 16mm screw is too long, there is now a washer on the base plate that is the diameter of the original F2 screw, and the lock washer no longer can damage the base plate.

Pat Donnelly Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 the 4 on the floor are clear polycarb with white protective backing still in place. the 2 on the board are white polyethylene. NOTE: lengths are 9.50" which is about one inch shorter than Catek's template. Materials from McMaster.com and here is a link to the 3/16" thick clear polycarbonate http://www.mcmaster.com/itm/find.ASP?tab=find&context=psrchDtlLink&fasttrack=False&searchstring=8574K27 6mm X 20mm bolt (if using Bomber TD 2) from McMaster's require a 4mm hex wrench. Update: 6mm x 20mm with a 5mm drive DO NOT EXIST!!! Fastenal's catalog contains a typo as the drive size is 4mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
