Speed skim

[Tinytom]

So Iv finally caved in and bought a1200 speed skim
Everyone who I know that has 1 loves them and Iv got a fair bit of board work coming up.
Is there any bedding in needed?
Iv got the all plastic 1 so just for flattening after laying down, save a bit of effort

 

[Smudger1]

Just round the ends off a bit and away you go

get a pound coin and use it to cut a profile off the corners mate, then give it a sand with fine, fine sand paper, 260 or wet and dry, will be better then.

The newer ox versions have the corners already rounded off. They still take some breaking in though.

There must be easier things to cut them with than a pound coin M8?
Personally I just use a bit of abrasive paper.

Same here, I've also just cavred in and bought a 900, the corners are rounded but a bit rough, so I'll take the advice and sandpaper thanx. Not wacking out for another pound coin just to do that....

Use the profile of a pound coin, then cut with a Stanly, gives a perfect curve a just the right size mate.

Its ok , you can spend the pound coin later, at, lets say, the Pound Shop.

I bet if he gets angry he whips his pork pie hat off his head and stamps on it

There was a guy in laxey called Harry Wade did it. He went on holiday years ago and left Suvvy with materials money and his son with wages. When he came back he went on site and there wasn't a dish washed but the men had drawn their wages so he started turning the village upside down looking for them. Eventually he caught up with them in the Glen hotel. They'd supped all their wages AND the materials money, so he whipped his hat off his head and stamped on it, then made them all work for 3 weeks with no wages to pay him back.
