Paper binding template off scale

I know almost nothing about computers or printers but here goes:
You need to turn scaling off in the little print dialogue window thing and print it at 100% your printer is shrinking it to fit on one page.

Hth

Yeah make sure your printing the scale is at 100%

Also it sounds like your using binding freedom templates which is good, but I usually check it in inches, that scale that your checking should be eight inches exactly if it’s printed right.

Also when you tape them together tape and put them on the ski. Tape them down on tip and tail sides, and then cut off the overhang on the sidewall sides and tape those sides down.
This is so when you drill the paper won’t move around on ya, and it’ll stay flat on the ski and won’t lift at all.
Also also, be sure to set your drill press to a stop point of your depth so that you don’t drill to far down.
Good luck!

p.s. I’d mock them out on a 2x4 before your do any ski drilling. The paper templates can be tricky at times and this isn’t something you want to rush through and screw up on. Feel free to pm me with any questions. I’ve mounted a couple pairs with those templates now and know what to do pretty well.

Thanks for the tips. I managed to figure out the scale issue by changing the printer settings. I mounted the bindings to a thin plank of wood to get a feel for it. came out great. gonna take it to the skis now.

You got it, Good luck!

I’d say trying to get your printer to print at 100% is harder than drilling 16 holes that are literally templated

I hope you understand where you made a mistake so that in the future you will not repeat it. In general, if I make a mistake somewhere, then I always try to understand what and where I did wrong. Most likely this is the cost of the profession because I am a business analyst and at work, I constantly use the simple root cause analysis template to explain to my clients where they made a mistake and how to fix it. That's why I always try to analyze my actions in life... And I don't even know if this is a good habit or a bad one...

Thank you. They mounted up perfectly and been holding up for a year now.

Splendorso you managed to fix the situation in the end?

Yeah my printer was set on “fit page” and I had to switch it to “actual scale”
