pansar files
These very aggressive body files have large curved teeth to remove edge or sidewall material quickly. They can be used in conjunction with an edge bevel guide to initially set side edge bevel on skis or snowboards. They can also be used to shave excess p-tex repairmaterial from bases, or remove plastic sidewall material that overhangs steel edges. Use them with a light touch, however...they're aggressive and cut quickly. |

file brushes
A file gets dirty fast when sharpening edges. This not only reduces cutting efficiency but leads to faster wear. The fine wire bristles of these tools will remove filings and other gunk from the teeth of the file to insure longer life and efficiency. Use frequently. Two models are offered...the singleside has short wire bristles on one side for cleaning files, while the doubleside has wire bristles on one side and nylon bristles on the other for sweeping file shavings off the ski base as well. |

SkiVisions
Tuning Stick |
Item #SVN-TS : $4.95
|

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. |
