 Poster: A snowHead
|
I've read a few threads on here and The Piste Office guide about edge and waxing, and i'm pretty set on just doing it myself, with a bit of help from my dad and his gear (although he does have different views of edge angle).
There was a couple of questions that are still pondering in my mind really.
1) Should I change the edge angle to 87* as Spider Jon recommends or keep it at manufacture 89*
2) I'm a bit scared about all this side wall planing, does anyone really do it?
3) I was thinking about getting the Skiman file guide and clamp, (and this will sound stupid) but just want clarity on how I actually set it up. Does the file sit in the notched out groove?
Any other tips would be appreciated.

1). 87* is great, and I have it on all my skis, and jr's.
2). It may seem a bit daunting at first, but its quite straight forward. And, yes, you most likely will need to plane back a little to get the file to "cut" at 87*. You are doping it right when you start getting nice thing, long spirals of sidewall.
3). LOTS of you tube clips

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I take it when someone talks about a 87* angle it's the same as when others talk about a 3* angle, and a 89* is the same as a 1*?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.
