If any of you have a decent pair of ski vices, send me a PM.

I'm also interested in upgrading my iron as well :wink:

Tuning Vises & Irons

I have two different styles of vises. One set go with the some older different skis with "OLD Salomon" 700 & 900 Series Bindings that I've had for about 18-20 years and a newer set for shape skis...it makes a difference...

My waxing iron is a 1960's vintage model made by a company in Brooklyn NY, and it works so well that I hope I never have to change!

sorry

Sorry, my mom's iron circa 1960 isn't for sale :p

Go to a garage sale this spring, especially grandma's house-type sales, you're sure to find one. No steam holes of course, but back then, we didn't know what steam was :p

Then find someone with a temperature probe and find the correct temp. setting for your iron (I fergets the number, I just know my setting!)

I'm not trying to be cheap, I just don't see much value in a specialized iron for Joe/Josephine average hot waxer :)
