I think skins are closer to 1/16”. I know how I would router the base on an FT X, if conditions were driving me crazy.
I think it would be doable and better than scales. It isn’t often you western guys make me happy to be in SE MI.
Fishing season makes me happy to be in Michigan !
I have an old pair of Rossignol Attaque skis that I'm going to try this on. I won't actually mount them with skins but I'm going to see how the ptex behaves under a router bit and explore ways I might constrain the router on a curved surface with curved sides. I know from experience that it is easy to run into melting problems when cutting or routing plastic.
I'd have to be really sure of myself before I took a router to my FT62!!!
The ski needs to be clamped flat. If you clamp from the bottom, your Router template can clamp on top. If you clamp on top, your router template needs to be incorporated into the top flat brace.
Of course I’m calling the top the bottom of the ski, as it will be on top!
Perhaps a coolant. I wonder what a router bit at speed would do to a pool of water???
