Core Fabrication
We laminate large blocks from ¾ in lumber in a press. That block is sliced, much like you slice a loaf of bread, on our sawmill to produce individual core blanks. A core blank is placed on our cnc machine and cut to shape. Some cores then go into another lamination process in which we laminate a side stick (ash lumber with ABS sidewall pre-laminated to it) to the side of the shaped core. Others have sidewalls applied to them after the core has been tapered. We place the core back on our cnc machine and cut the taper or core profile.
Insertion of Inserts
Before the board is pressed, the inserts are pressed into the holes that were drilled in the core.
Glass Cutting
This is exactly what it sounds like. We have to cut the fiberglass sheets to length before the board is pressed.
Cutting aluminum laminates
The metal laminates that go into our metal construction snowboards is machined on our cnc. The cnc will cut the shape and drill holes in the aluminum.
