Bevel Guide suggestions

[SKIQUATTRO]

I've been using the Tognar Multi Edge Tuner (MTK701) for the past few years and its been great. Thinking about making the jump to more traditional bevel guide, clamp, file....getting 1/2/3 degree files, a pansar, and diamond stones....

any suggestions?

I get most of my tuning equipment from Artech. Just got one of their side edge guides and I'm quite happy with them http://www.artechski.com/sideedgefileguides.aspx.

Along with a bastard file, diamond stone, gummi stone and a clamp, this should be fine set-up.

The BEAST and SIDE of BEAST guides are loved by a bunch of my serious Master's Racing friends.

..another one..

Here's another one..think I grabbed one of two items from SunValley (SVST)...probably because they just had them on sale at the moment, but all the others mentioned are terrific. Yah, the manual items do add up with the initial purchase(s), but keep em' clean and they last..
It's pretty relieving to take any mystery/guessing out of yours and others' skis tune...for the skiday...

I'm partial to the SVST products but regardless of brand, I would recommend going with a fixed angle file guide rather than a variable one.

I agree about the variable edge bevels. They are none too acurate. My son and I use the stainless side of beast. Had the first one for 5 years until we wore it out. I use the swix base bevels (very much like the skiman). The base beast would break too easily for us. I very rarely use files, mostly diamond stones. When the skis get that bad, its time for a stone grind. I buy most of our tuning supplies from Artech as well.
