Aluminum oxide stone

With the Vario angle guide and a suitable file (not included), you can easily tune the base edge of your alpine skis or snowboard. You can individually adjust the angle guide from 0° to 3° in 0.5° increments. With just a few strokes, the base edge will be flat and sharp again. Which setting is the right one?In general, it can be said: The sharper the angle of the edges, the more aggressive the edge. This means the skis grip better and engage faster than with blunter edges. The more the edge is tuned, the less aggressive it becomes, but the ski will be more agile. For recreational skiers, we sharpen the base edges at 0.5° and the side edges at 88° in our workshop. This gives the edges a very good compromise between agility and aggressiveness. Which file is the right one?If the edge is heavily damaged, the burrs must be removed with an aluminum oxide stone before grinding. Then, we recommend using the coarse side of the multi-file. After a few even strokes and an initial flat grind, we recommend switching to the fine side of the multi-file. Now, the edges will be ground flat properly.

With the stable edge tuner and a suitable file (not included), you can easily sharpen the side edge of your alpine skis or snowboard. You can individually adjust the file angle from 88° to 85° using various spacers. With just a few strokes, the side edge will be flat and sharp again. The edge tuner is very stable with its 3mm thick stainless steel plate and weighs 250g, making it comfortable to handle. The large opening for chip removal prevents shavings from being pressed into the base.Which setting is the right one?In general, it can be said: The sharper the angle of the edges, the more aggressive the edge. This means the skis grip better and respond faster than with blunter edges. The smaller you set the angle, the sharper and more aggressive the ski becomes. For recreational skiers, we sharpen the base edges at 0.5° and the side edges at 88° in our workshop. This gives the edges a very good compromise between agility and aggressiveness. Which file is the right one?If the edge is heavily damaged, the burrs must be removed with an aluminum oxide stone before grinding. Then, we recommend using the medium file for initial grinding. After a few even strokes and an initial flat grind, we recommend switching to the fine file. Now, the edges will be ground flat properly.
