Great replacement file. The Tungsten Carbide cuts through edge burs that your skis get when you accidentally ski over exposed rocks on the slopes during thin cover. Use the finishing stones for the final polishing. This is a good tool with nice beveling capabilities for tuning your skis. I tune my skis, as well a the skis for my grandsons. I purchased the SKS 3000 Swingcut Tool to replace my Ski Visions tuning tool that had finally worn out. It is not the cheapest, but it works great and it is well built.
