Product Description

The File Base Flattener is a planing tool that uses a unique cross-cut file to flatten concave snowboards and skis.
It is a different application from the steel blade in the BF1 Base Flattener, the steel blade is for fine flattening work, the File Base Flattener's purpose is to cut through concave metal and plastic quickly.
It is similar to flat filing but without the risk of bowing the file, it also tends to apply more consistent pressure across the file.
Includes a 7-inch double cut file.

Good for more than concave base flattening

Posted by Sam Berry on 5th Feb 2012

The tool is great for its original purpose, but I have also found it to be excellent for removing the excess material from p-tex repairs. It cuts grooves through the p-tex without pulling it out, even for shallow fills. I follow this with the steel blade and the course stone that come with the SkiVisions base flattener. May not look quite as good as a machine grind, but works just as well and saves me lots of money.
love this tool-but

I am only giving this tool 4 stars. I bought this tool last year. When it came I was having a little party and it became the main attraction. PBR and tuning makes the perfect party. Everyone was amazed how it found concave spots on every pair of skis we tried it on.
We all think we are pretty good tuners so this was a surprise. In just several minutes the concave spots would be gone and the base consistent. The next morning the tool was gone. Someone took it and passed it around. When I got it back it looked like the file was used as a ping pong paddle for rocks. I bought a new pair of skis this year and needed a new file but I couldn't fine one anywhere. I emailed skivisions and they said the file for the tool needs a very specific tooth cut pattern and the one I got came from a factory that went out of business. They said a new and even better file would be ready in about 2 weeks. I will change my rating to 5 if I can get a new file and it works as good as the last one. I wish I didn't share it and won't do that again. I think I will hide it.
