Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

edges and their sharping

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
As normal i tend to send skis in for servace when arriving at chalet.

A bit of wax and edge i say.

great but as happerns you hit a rook and you damage a edge. It gets scored or rough in a small area. But not to worry we have the tec.

Problem starts in the fact that the hand held edging tool has too angles 90 and 88 degrees.

Which do you use, Is it dependant on the ski type and if so where is the infomation to select the angle. or is it dependent on the point where the damage has occored (tip, under binding or tail). etc help required The reason i ask is based on the fact that looking where the skis were last done no checks were done and they were run along a rotating sander (for a better word) in both plans.

And a finally is the angle based of the horizontal so giving efectivally a 92degree cut in to the snow/ice.

Yer angles will probably be the same along the whole length of the ski. Trouble is, you've had them serviced so they could be different from the factory settings.

Me, I'd use the 88 along the whole length.

The angle is from the vertical, so you get a 89* edge (if the base angle is at 1* which it usually is).

Easy eh!

Gerroff moi bases!!!!!

Thanks for the info i have been using the 90degrees so we will try and see if it makes a differance on ice.

for the fucture as and when news skis are required is the edge angle stated on the ski top plate or only in selling blurb.

any idea.

Unfortunately neither. Most of the time their website's don't say either.

I've a list of most of the manufacturer's specifications on my website if you click on the link.
