Title: Odd number of laminations
Post by: Theolithic71 on January 15, 2017, 07:59:00 PM

Hey guys,

When you have an odd number of laminations, do you put more lams on the back side or belly side of the riser?  Does it matter?

Thank you

Don't think it would matter, but I put more on the back so they are being held by the riser instead of them trying to pull away. Just my way and really means nothin! LOL

only thing i do- is put the thicker lams on the back, and thinner on the belly- so that they bend up the ramp of the riser better- so that may dictate how many i put either side!
