DON'T
GET RUN RAGGED! 
Always deburr
your steel edges after a day on the slopes, as well as after any filing
or beveling work. This removes any small but grabby edge burrs that otherwise
dig in the snow unexpectedly and make skis or snowboards behave unpredictably.
Polishing the base and side edge surfaces helps reduce rusting, as well
as allow edges to carve and glide more efficiently.
A quick note about our "grit ratings":
In the industrial world, there are different grit ratings that apply
to different abrasive products...which can be a bit confusing
for most common folks. For simplicity's sake, we've tweaked things just a bit and applied the same rating system to all abrasive
products we sell. This means, for example, that a 600-grit ceramic stone
will match the smoothness of a 600-grit diamond stone. Likewise, a 150-grit
sandpaper will match the roughness of a 150-grit diamond stone, etc.
This simply makes it a little easier for you to anticipate the results you'll
get from whatever abrasive or polishing tool you buy from us. Just be
aware that the rating system you see printed in our catalog will sometimes
differ from the grit rating printed on the actual product (diamond stone,
etc.) that you receive...but rest assured you have received the product
you wanted. |
Deburring & Polishing Tools

POCKET HARD STONE
We offer this small pocket
stone for folks who want a handy take-along tool to make quick touch-ups and repairs
on the hill or in a pinch. It's a bit too small to fit in bevel guides, so it
doesn't lend itself to precision workshop tuning...but it fits easily in your
parka pocket and is handy for performing quick on-snow edge touch-ups or rock
ding repairs. It measures 3" x 3/4" x 3/8".
Item #APG-STN1 Pocket
Hard Stone:$4.95
GUMMI STONE
This small rubber abrasive stone is handy
for erasing rust from edges, or gently "softening" sharp tip and tail
edges where they lift up out of the snow. It can also be used for on-the-slope
edge touch-ups and polishing. Since it's softer than a hard stone, it's more forgiving
if you're using it without a bevel guide. It measures 3 x 1 x 5/8" so it easily
fits in parka pockets to carry with you.
Item #KLG-SF Gummi Stone: $4.95
DMT DIAMOND DEBURRING STONES
These metal and plastic laminate 'stones' have industrial diamonds bonded to
them. We offer 'em in 4 different grits, and in both 2.75" (pocket size) and 4"
(workshop size) lengths. The coarse black models (150 grit) are best for repairing
rock damage on steel edges when they've been 'work-hardened' by impact and look
glazed and/or very ragged, plus for re-sharpening carbide tips on ski skating
poles. Use the medium blue model (220 grit) for deburring side edges after filing
or beveling, the fine red model (325 grit) for finer deburring and edge polishing,
and the extra-fine green stone (600 grit) for even smoother finishes. DMT diamond
stones last a long time if kept clean (we use an old toothbrush with wax remover
or Ronson lighter fluid for this), and used with light pressure (a heavy hand
can prematurely break diamonds loose from the stone). We also use them wet (dip
'em in a cup of water) to help keep debris from clogging the diamonds.

MOONFLEX DIAMOND DEBURRING STONES
Moonflex stones boast
a higher diamond count and concentration on their faces for greater durability,
plus feature a unique spiral pattern that doesn't load with debris as fast as
other diamond stones. The 100-grit coarse stone is used to repair rock damage
on base and side edges, while the other stones are best used for deburring and
polishing side edges. They are available in similar grits and sizes as the DMT
diamond stones above.

ALUMINUM OXIDE DEBURRING STONES
These are bonded hard stones made by fusing
the mineral bauxite. They "sand and grind" steel, but not as aggressively
as diamond stones, which makes them ideal for deburring base edges...since removing
too much base edge can unintentionally create unwanted excess base edge bevel.
We offer four aluminum oxide stones...a coarse 220 grit for repairing rock damage,
and increasingly finer 320, 400 and 600 grits for base edge deburring and polishing.
The stones measure 4" x 3/4" x 3/8", and can (and should) be
used with a bevel guide to ensure precise results. For best results, we recommend
honing and final polishing edge surfaces after using these stones with finer
ceramic, arkansas or translucent hard stones. We also offer these four aluminum
oxide stones in a kit in a protective cordura roll-up bag.

CERAMIC POLISHING STONES
As racers know, a polished steel edge is a fast
edge. These ceramic stones are used after diamond or aluminum oxide stones to
final polish and hone base and side edge surfaces. This helps reduce edge drag
as well as unwanted rusting. We offer a fine 600-grit stone, an ultrafine 1200-grit
stone, and a combo stone with both grits...one on each side. They measure 5"
x 1". Some world cup techs feel these stones cut better and last longer if used
wet (dip 'em in a cup of water), and brushed clean with an old toothbrush about
every 10 tune-ups with a vinegar and water solution (mixed in equal parts),
or with a cleanser like Comet or Ajax.

ARKANSAS
POLISHING STONES
We offer two premium Arkansas stones
for the finest, most precise edge honing and finishing results. Extracted from
quarries in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas, these stones are cut by circular
diamond saws from Novaculite blocks (a naturally-occurring 99.9% pure silica
sedimentary rock) then lapped smooth and flat on silicon carbide grinding machines.
The result is a unique crystal structure that enables it to finely cut, hone
and polish steel better than any manmade bonded abrasive stones (including ceramic,
aluminum oxide, silicon carbide or diamond). The fine Arkansas Hard stone is
great for the edge finishing needs of most skiers and snowboarders...including
recreational riders, master and junior racers. The ultrafine Translucent stone
is a favorite of many World Cup techs for creating a near mirror-like finish
(it's used in the medical field to sharpen scalpels) if you've set your competitive
goals higher than the average bear. Both stones come in a sturdy leather pouch,
and measure 4" x 1" x 1/2" so they can be used in conjunction
with most base and side edge bevel guides to precisely maintain your desired
bevel angles.
Item #DWH-HARD Arkansas Hard Stone:$12.95
Item #DWH-TRANS Arkansas Translucent Stone:$24.95
CUTTING
& POLISHING FLUID
Apply a few drops of this fluid to your ceramic,
aluminum oxide, arkansas or diamond stones to help reduce steel residue build-up
while deburring and polishing steel edges. 2oz bottle.
Item #SHP-210071 Cutting Fluid: $4.95
BASE
& EDGE MAGNIFIER
Inspecting and evaluating the condition
of base material and edges...whether it's the base structure definition, the
finish of steel edge surfaces, the presence of unwanted p-tex hairs or oxidation...is
a skill that yields valuable information not easily available by other means.
To that end, we offer this 5 power magnifier which is ideal for base and edge
inspections, and doubles as a good hand lens for examining snow crystals too.
Item #KOB-527 Base & Edge Magnifier: $9.95
SKIVISIONS 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.
