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 :-)

I need to run a stone along a snowboard's side edges.
I have no idea what the angles are as this is someone else's board.
Anyway to do this without expert measuring guides?
It's just a simple ceramic/arkansas stone.

- if you have a variety of edge angles available then...
Take a marker pen and run it along the edge.
Do a couple of passes with your smallest edge angle. Has the pen mark been erased? If not then up the edge angle and repeat. Takes only a few minutes to work out what it was set to.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Okay, thanks!
And ONLY do the side edge, then run the stone along the base with light pressure to remove hanging burrs?

Yes. There's a fully detailed tuning guide on my website if you're unsure of anything.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Ah. Now you're into philosophy...
(Seriously...)
Anyway, personally, I'd do the base edge with lightly first, then the side and then the burr. But it really does depend on how fine your ceramic stone is - I don't use them personally.
