I've been watching ski and snowboard tuning videos for a week now, to make some money this winter in Chile, and this is by far, THE BEST of them all, I really appreciate it, thank you.
Nice! I've never done the 2 wax method he showed. That's interesting. Also it cracks me up I spend most of my time buffing... several brushes and then several scotch brite pads! I guess I could dial it back a bit! Great video!
@@DanNoakes bummer would love to follow you on that. COuld learn a lot about your decision making in the mountains, what gear you use, and a bit more about you!
Dare accepted! Different manufacturers of tools have different measurements. SVST has 91, others will have 89. Mike is a pro and he does know how to measure angles. Here is a link for you so you can see a 91 degree angle tool. 690685.shop.netsuite.com/s.nl/it.A/id.6901/c.690685/n.1/.f?sc=33&category=80
@@DanNoakescool info. There is actualy a company that does not know how to measure angles. If you measure an angle of an object, you measure the object, not the empty space on the other side. It looks like Mike knows what he is doing, sure. But pros in FIS WC measure right.
There are multiple companies that use 91 degrees for the side edge. Here is another example, scroll down the page www.sidecut.com/product/KIT_BSC_SHARP.html
Check out this site too. “A typical base bevel is from 0.5-1 degrees. A file guide will call a one degree bevel either 89 or 91 degrees. Same difference.” www.skituning101.com/2008/11/part-2-sharpening-base-edge.html?m=1
@@DanNoakes great info. Cherry picking much? All the largest manufacturers, like Snoli, Holmenkol, Skiman, Toko, they all have proper angle measurements. Check it out. Or find another ski blog from Colorado or wherever and call it a credible source.

what a great no nonsense concise guide to home tuning. Thx
Tuned my skis wrong for the first time last week. Going to go back at them before first day on the slopes this weekend. Thank you!
Outstanding tutorial guys! Thank you so much for posting it. This is the best instruction I have seen out there. Keep all the pro tips coming!

God I wish my scraper would stay that sharp. I’m walking out of a CrossFit class every time I finish scraping hahaha 😊
Adjusting the edge to 91° (89° surely??) and base bevel to 1° is a compound angle of 90°, so no "sharper" than a 90° side & 0° base bevel.
Dan do you have Instagram? Also where are you based out of when you ski?
I don’t have an instagram account no.

91 degrees? Bullshit. This is 89 degree angle. Try and find 91 degree angle file block. I dare you.
Pros know how to measure angles.
You do not.
