That looks pretty cool! Let us know how it works out.

Sounds like less beer consumption in the basement:razz: Let us know what you think about it after using it and skiing on the results. I may be interested in picking one up.

Will do! I was talking with one of my ski friends 2 weekends ago who has one of them. She's a high level masters racer and is very particular about the care of her skis, and was really impressed by this. Since I already have a dremmel tool, I figured why not??

I figure though that it's probably not a bad idea for the 1st edge I tune with it to be on a pair of my OLD skis that I haven't skied on for 4 or 5 years just to get the hang of it! ;)

Report in about 2 weeks as I'm not up North skiing this coming weekend

only thing i see with the edge tuner is you cant easily switch bevels if you are doing multiple skis with different side edge bevels.....cool tool...might get one if its easy to switch angles.

I can't wait any longer to try it out! I'm giving it its maiden voyage on some of my old skis that I have in the basement of my house in CT tonight! Now I just have to figure out a way to clamp a ski to my mini black and decker work bench that I have at home. I'll take pictures and put up a TR later! :)

Okay, 1st trial soon too happen (once i'm done putting the kids to bed ;) ) And Skiquattro, as for multiple bevel adjustability, after really looking through the parts and doing the assembly, its a total non issue! The 1/2 degree inserts that come with the edge tune mount on a brass strip that is easily removable from the edge tune "chassis" The kit includes 4 brass strips and about 20 of the 1/2 degree adhesive strips, so all you need to do if you want different bevels on different pairs of skis is just bend the extensions of the brass strips back (like when you bend the "clips" open/closed on a manila envelope) remove one strip and then just quickly attach a different brass with a different amount of bevel strips! It might take you 20 seconds tops to change the bevel! Well thought out by the designer IMHO! Just about time to see how it works on an old pair of my wife's Rossi Mountain Vipers that have been sitting in my basement for about a decade! :eek:

Ordered some Spy goggles on SAC for $49. Lsot a pair on the chair a few of weeks ago and then had my face skid on some hard pack with another pair on Superbowl Sunday. Have been using some old ones since but they suck.
