How much fine tuning is needed on these computer shaped boards? Also, does the computer outline the fin placement?

CAD shaped boards?
- Thread starter anthony christopher
- Start date
CAM shaped boards have tool marks (grooves) that are shallow and spaced a little less than the diameter of the router bit used. The ridges all need to be taken down even and the rails need to have their fine contours (edges, transitions, etc.) hand shaped in. Also the hold down points need to be shaped out. But, if a good shaper can do (8) boards start to finish by hand in a day. They can do at least twice as many with the same amount of time when they're pre-shaped.
No, the computer does not figure the fin placement. There is an industry norm and each shaper has their own preferences.
