Ski Snowboard Edge Bevel Tools

Ski Snowboard Edge Bevel Tools IS YOUR BEVEL ON THE LEVEL?
Nearly every ski or snowboard with steel edges comes from the factory with preset base and side edge bevels. Base edge bevel helps your ski or board initiate a turn more easily and predictably, while increased side edge bevel provides greater edge grip on hard snow or ice. Here's the tools you need for setting or maintaining precise edge bevel angles.

Ski Snowboard Edge Bevel ToolsSKIVISIONS TUNING STICK
Checking the sharpness of steel edges has long been a bit of a guessing game for most tuners. Shaving the face of your fingernail, or dragging the side of a pinkie finger across an edge doesn't provide consistently reliable or accurate feedback...unless maybe you're an ultra-experienced World Cup level technician.
This tuning stick helps resolve that. It's made of a special hard plastic that subtly communicates how sharp or dull your edges are. You hold it at a 45-degree angle to the edge and, bearing down with moderate pressure, simply slide and try to shave some stick material away. If the edge is sharp, you'll feel and hear a noticeable resistance and sound. If the edge is dull, the stick will not shave...but slide without much resistance or sound.
When you first get a tuning stick, try it on some edges you've ridden for a day or two. You'll be surprised how much duller they usually feel underfoot (due to greater wear from skier/rider weight and pressure) than at the tips and tails. Try it again after tuning and see the difference...it will be noticeable if you've tuned effectively. If you impart a sharper bevel angle underfoot than at the tips and tails, the stick will also detect this. Likewise, you'll also be able to hear and feel the difference between burred edges and deburred/polished edges.
The SkiVisions tuning stick is such a simple yet revealing tool that can give you invaluable tuning feedback.

Ski Sharp Tool SKIVISIONS SKISHARP
This is a precision beveling tool for skis and snowboards that independently sharpens and bevels (from 0 to 3 degrees in 1/4 degree increments) the side and bottom surface of one steel edge simultaneously. It includes two mill file inserts for filing and beveling, a file cleaning brush and instructions. Optional inserts include a wide variety of deburring and polishing stones...use the coarse 180-grit ruby stones to initially treat rock-damaged edges and sharpen edges. Use the 350-grit ruby stones to deburr edges after filing or beveling, followed by the extra-fine 600-grit aluminum oxide stones. The ceramic stone inserts are used for final honing and polishing the edges. This progression can provide greater edge smoothness, sharpness and durability...plus conditions the edges so files can work with less effort. At an absolute minimum, we recommend using the 350-grit stone (especially along tips and tails) for daily touch-ups. Also available are optional carbide steel skyver blades for rapidly 'roughing in' side edge bevels and gummi stones for removing rust and final polishing. The stones can be redressed with the optional 100 grit diamond stone for longevity- always redress under running water! Ski Sharp tool includes the Skivisions tuning stick.

bevel guide BASE EDGE FILE GUIDES
These precise base bevel guides are used in conjunction with your favorite steel files, diamond stones or ceramic stones. They lift and hold one end of the file or stone at a fixed height, while allowing the other end to rest on one base edge. This creates and ensures a precise and consistent base bevel from tip-to-tail (without being influenced by sidecut curvature) when filing or deburring any ski or snowboard. Two brands are offered...the economical Beast guides feature a plastic body with a stainless steel bridge, and are ideal for most home tuners. The Final Cut guides are machined from aluminum and stainless steel, and feature replaceable delrin pads where the tool contacts steel edges. As a result, it is more durable and favored by team, school or club technicians who do more tuning work than the average home mechanic.

SIDE EDGE BEVEL GUIDES

These side edge bevel guides enable you to create and maintain precise bevel angles. Use them in conjunction with any of your favorite files or deburring stones. Hold the face of the guide against your base, and set your stone or file on the top platform. The guides feature a recess to catch steel filings so they don't grind into bases. Two designs are offered...the KUU guides are made of aluminum and are a good choice for most home mechanics. The SVST Pro-Edge guides are made of thicker aluminum and feature a stainless steel face plate for longer wear. Their heftier weight and durability is appreciated by more discerning mechanics who tune more frequently or for teams, clubs or schools. They also offer a variety of shims that can be attached to any of their guides to provide extra degrees of side edge bevel. Optional clamps are strongly recommended to secure your file or stones to any of these guides...they help ensure precise tuning results. The Spring Clamp (pincher clamp, good for home tuners) and Holmenkol Clamp (thumbscrew clamp, most secure for pro tuners) fit any bevel guide, while the SVT Clamp (thumbscrew clamp, very secure for any tuner) only fits the Pro Edge bevel guides.

SIDEWALL PLANERS
It's often frustrating and difficult to bevel the side edges on skis and snowboards because overhanging plastic sidewall material gets in the way to impede cutting action and quickly clog up file teeth. Removing this plastic material makes beveling and filing much easier. It can be done if you're ultra careful using a hand-held file, but this is tricky stuff for most mere mortals since it's also real easy to slip up and damage your steel edge in the process. The safest and fastest way is to use a sidewall planer. These tools utilize a sharp carbide steel blade to shave away as much (or little) of the plastic sidewall material as you want at a precise depth from tip to tail.

We offer two planers. The FK model  is a smaller, lighter and more basic model that features a combination square/round edge carbide steel cutting blade and easy depth and height adjustments.

The Ergo model  is slightly heftier and has a more ergonomic-shaped body. It comes with a much thicker round carbide steel cutting blade...and an optional square carbide cutting blade is also available. The tool allows for easy height and depth cutting adjustments.

Both models use replaceable carbide steel cutting blades that usually provide long service before needing replacement.
