 Poster: A snowHead
|
(Actually, I've already got the waxing gear, but am using the kits to work out what to buy for edge tuning.)
Does anyone have views on the benefits of buying the more edge guides and associated files and stones from the advanced kit versus the cheaper ones in the basic kit? The kits will get used for preparing skis for approx 3 weeks and a board for 1 or 2 weeks a year.

Anyone would think the season is about to start and we're all getting our gear ready.

I wondered about that, but then I thought it might be useful for others to hear the response as well. I might still call, but that's more difficult when I'm working and we have rubbish phone reception. (Am also embarrassed at how little of my lesson I remember.)

I have the 100% same question. I done a tuning course with jon a few years ago and now its time to look after my own kit. I will also be phoning jon to order a resqski at some point.

With the advance you get:
SM306# Skiman side angle edge guide - in either 89, 88 or 87 degrees rather than SPMINI8# Moonflex Minituner side guide in either 88 or 87 degrees - I do all my edges to 87 so subject to ease of use factors wouldn't make any odds to me
ROU38351 Skiman spring clamp for the side edge angle guide - guess you don't need one for the Moonflex guide - so no odds
316# Kunzmann Base edge angle guide - in either 0.5, 0.7 or 1 degrees - general advice is to never alter your base edge angle - which is what I do, so I wouldn't need it
3275 FK/SKS World Cup titum x-chrome file, 20 x 120mm, medium cut rather than 3200 Kunzmann 70mm medium file - not sure that makes any odds
THB010035P Moonflex Professional diamond file, 102 x 25mm, 600grit - both kits have a 200grit file but the advanced as a 600 also - personally I use only the file mentioned above and a 600grit - not sure what the 200grit gives you...
You get 200g of wax as opposed to 100 - so makes no odds

@spyderjon, I should have said, though, that any advice you give on here will be greatly appreciated.

Not had a chance to reply - lots of sales to attend to which is great - but the 5 sets of QK inserts that I needed to get done today had to be done this evening instead. I'll get back here tomorrow evening.

For me the 200 grit is great for midweek sharpening prior to the 600. I only use a file if I really have to as it removes more edge. It’s often I can go 3 or 4 weeks just with the diamonds and no metal file. The 600 is too fine to do this alone.
Await the words of the oracle of course.
