Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
Just bought new Salomon QST85 skis.
Wanted to figure out what are the bevel angels and give the edges a polish with a fine diamond stone (600 grit).
I felt that I needed to apply some pressure and did not remove the sharpie marks very evenly.
I used 1 degree for both base and side edges with a multi edge tool.
I wasn't sure what is the factory setup, but from my search it looks actually more 1 degree base, 2 / 88 degrees side.
Is it possible that I changed the side edge angle from 2 to 1 using the fine diamond stone?
Is there anything I should do about it?
The edges feel sharp and smooth.
Thanks

I would not say it is impossible, but usually you use the diamond stone to polish, and not to grind. Get another stone for grinding and setting the side angle, and then polish with the diamond.

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

@cp3, 600 grit won't change the angle, get a fine file for under a tenner, then redo with the diamond

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks for the replies!
I was concerned that I messed up the factory angles, much calmer now

@cp3, are you perhaps over thinking things here?
