Howdy, I want to start making full length .003 tapered laminations. Instead of a half sled I was thinking of building a full length sled that is only tapered on one end to help support the full length lam. Any reason not to?
Full length being 62-70".

Because it's unnecessary. I regularly make full length tapered lams on my 40" sled. After the lam and sled go through the sander, the trailing half of the lam is angled down slightly and misses the drum, with no need for support. I do this with Z- spliced lams too and never had an issue.
If you DO make a full length sled, why not make it double tapered so it grinds the whole thing, and both tapers, in one pass?

Well Jeff, that was the original plan but never having made some I thought I might have a binding issue on the leading end.
