Establish and maintain ski and snowboard edge geometry with dedicated edge guides. They provide easy and quick edge cutting, sharpening and polishing control while making it easier to select the proper guide for the desired edge bevel angles. Multiple guides with the same dedicated angle reduces time swapping out files and diamonds while maintaining precision.Establish and maintain ski and snowboard edge geometry with dedicated edge guides.

Multiple guides with the same dedicated angle reduces time swapping out files and diamonds while maintaining precision.

To check a edge beveling guide relative to existing edge geometry, run a Sharpie or other marker along an edge section to leave a thin ink film. Use the guide with an angle close to the bevel. With a stone in the tool, run it down the edge with a pass or two. If the ink comes off evenly you have a match. For side edge bevels, if the ink comes off more near the side wall for side edges, the side edge guide is too acute or high. If it comes off more near the edge corner, then the guide is less acute or too low. For base edge bevels, more ink off near the base material indicates the base beveler is too flat or low. More near the corner, the guide is set too high. Adjust the angle setting until you have a match.

Aside form edge work, a higher angled (5° to 7°) side edge can be used with a panzer or coarse file for side wall cutting (aka back filing).

In a addition, with a 0°/90° guide and coarse or panzer file, a plexi scrapers can be sharpened to maintain a better scraper edge for scraping wax.
