General Discussion

I have a blank I need machine shaped. It’s 1.5lb EPS…

I’m willing to drive a little so, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, etc…

Anybody know who can cut it? Is Matt Ambrose still doing machine shaping?

Call norcal in pacifica, ask for shawn, sean, i forget how to spell his name. Hes been slanging blanks for a while and we all know his connections and they certainly are machining blanks. Hes about to do some markos for me using AKU.  They are legit for sure.  If it can be done hes got you.

FWIW,

The AKU shaper uses a vacuum system to hold the board in place. The cutter head moves back and forth in very small increments eating foam in front of it.  There is no pushing down of the foam like a planer, or hand shaping.   So the AKU and other machines are the only way to get a super, superlight stringerless blank shaped with uniformity.
