2015年3月30日 · The Fiber Press is a product I invented over the past two years to make great looking sets of Micarta Knife Scales as fast and efficient as possible. Each set of custom knife scales comes out of the Fiber Press (Pro Press-2) 2" wide x 1/4" thick and up to 12" long depending on the materials used. The base plates and spacer bars are 1/4"

2010年4月20日 · If you want you can cut your material 5" by 5". by the time you trim it and cut it in half you would end up with two scales about 2" by 4 1/2". Just make your press the right size to press it. I made the press for the tutorial with 1"x 6"s 13" long. I can press material 5"x 5" and since the press is 13" long I can press material 10" long if I want.

2015年2月12日 · Just built a new micarta press. Used some 3/8" flat bar, and 1/4" flat bar. It's MUCH better then the wood one I had and much more accurate to the thickness. Plus I added legs on this one so when I go to clamp the top on, it's raised off the table so the clamp fits under it and I have both hands free to work the clam. The results speak for them ...

2013年2月13日 · Im looking for advide on building a micarta press. If anybody could tell me how to make one i would greatly appreciate it. Im wanting to make sheets of micarta, about 10" x 12" also if there is somewhere that i could just buy one that would work too. Thanks for any help!

2010年4月16日 · I wanted a press that wouldn't require three hands like my old one that used 4 c-clamps. It was a real pain trying to keep the resin soaked material lined up while holding the boards straight and operating the clamps. This is what I came up with and it works pretty well. The only problem I had...

1999年4月28日 · Anyone here make their own micarta type material? I have played with it for a bit. Layered material stacked up works well with my molds and press I have. I am doing some camo patterns where I chop up the fabric into random shapes, soak it in the epoxy and then put it into a mold, press it and let cure.

2019年3月18日 · micarta is a name brand that basically no one can replicate. However I've had great luck making homemade "micarta" using fiberglass resin. Do a you tube search and you'll find TONS of info. My most popular knife scale is home made blue jean "micarta" I have also made knife scales from a deceased persons favorite shirt and made it in "micarta".

2014年7月19日 · You cant make Micarta at home. Why? Because this is Phenolic-Cotton lamiante, and to set this you need heated press. And this is LARGE press... (With heating dispersion) Phenolic resin is a heat-hardened under pressure for this application. The best method to make laminate in home is Vacuum Infusion + heating blanket ( or something like this ...

2007年6月8日 · I've used router bits in a drill press to route out trenches in micarta scales for mortice tangs. It works good but you have to get the speed right (faster than drilling steel but slower than drilling wood) and take the material off thin passes. I …
