Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Total deck length from nose to tail.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Maximum width at the widest point of the deck.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Deck material thickness.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Veneers in the pressed stack. Preview only: every export is one solid body.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Distance from the nose tip to where the kick starts to bend.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Nose rise angle. 19° is mellow, 26° is steep.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Radius of the curve where the flat deck transitions into the nose kick. Smaller = sharper bend, larger = smoother roll-in.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Distance from the tail tip to where the kick starts to bend.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Tail rise angle. 19° is mellow, 26° is steep.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Radius of the curve where the flat deck transitions into the tail kick. Smaller = sharper bend, larger = smoother roll-in.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Vertical depth from the rail down to the center of the board.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Radial: smooth arc edge to edge. Tub: flat center with arcs. Flat Tub: flat center with linear ramps.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Width of the flat center section (tub and flat-tub concaves only).
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)How far before the kick the concave starts fading to flat.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)How much concave is carried through the kicks. 0 keeps the kicks flat. Can't exceed the concave depth.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Outer truck hole span. Inner hole span = this value minus twice the hole pattern length.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Truck hole center-to-center distance along the length.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Truck hole center-to-center distance across the width.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Deck truck hole diameter. Set to 0 to omit the holes.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Included angle of the conical screw-head recess. Common standards: 82° ANSI inch, 90° ISO metric, 100° MS24693, 120° stove bolt.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Diameter of the conical screw-head recess at the deck surface. Match your screw's head: a DIN 965 M2 head is ~3.8 mm. No wider than the hole for a plain hole.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)How far the screw head sinks. The cone always cuts as deep as its diameter and angle need; a larger depth adds a straight section above it.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Flatten the deck underside at each truck mount so baseplates sit flush.
Bolt: two halves joined with bolts through alignment holes. Press: halves pressed together, aligned by an external tool resting on the form's end platforms.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Length of the shaped form. Must be at least as long as the deck; the press type adds alignment platforms beyond this.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Width of the raised form block that presses the veneer stack.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Diameter of the holes the bolts pass through to join the two halves. Separate from the truck holes below.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Number of bolts along the length (doubled across the width for two rows).
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Diameter of the truck-mounting holes drilled through both mold halves. Set to 0 to omit the holes.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)On: the end platforms meet when the mold closes, a hard stop that caps the pressed deck at its target thickness (cut blanks no longer than the form). Off: the platforms float a deck-thickness apart, so you press by feel and can go thinner.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Which mold half's shape the shaper top carries. Top: the inverted deck-top surface, cradling the deck face-down (the female / top-mold sense). Bottom: the upright deck surface, cradling it face-up (the male / bottom-mold form). Rocker: the Bottom form on a two-plane base, so you rock it onto each kick and the bit cuts the kick edges square.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Cut a narrower or wider deck from the same mold, up to its form width. The shaper keeps the mold's concave, kicks and truck holes: only its outline changes width.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Height of the solid shaper block, with the deck's male contour carved on top.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Diameter of the truck-mounting holes drilled through the shaper block. Set to 0 to omit the holes.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Shrink the shaper's outline by this much while its top keeps your deck's exact shape. For trimming against a spacer, like a disc-sander jig, that adds the distance back.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Add countersunk screw holes through each kick so the shaper can be screwed flat to a workbench. The N/T orientation marks move to the waist when this is on.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Shank-clearance diameter of the bench screws that pass through each kick.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Head-recess diameter for the bench screws' countersunk heads.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Included angle of the bench-screw head recess.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)How deep the bench-screw heads sink into the shaper top.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Scoop a finger-sized notch into each rail wall at the waist, so a fingertip can get under the edge of the pressed deck and lift it off the shaper.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Engrave the width × length this shaper cuts into its flat waist.
Read more in the guide (opens in a new tab)Smooth requests a slower CAD surface preview. Turning it off uses the faster mesh preview. It does not change the saved design parameters.
Perspective makes distant features appear smaller. Orthographic keeps parallel lines parallel and is useful for inspecting profiles. Neither mode changes the geometry.
