SKI MANUFACTURERS EDGE ANGLE SPECIFICATIONS

MAKE/MODEL: BASE EDGE ANGLE, SIDE EDGE ANGLE

This information is based upon factory published specs or the angles I've measure when prepping new
skis. However the angles should always be checked before tuning any skis for the first time.

Ski Logik:
Email from factory 9.1.14: "Factory tuning is 1 degree base edge bevel and 2 degrees side edge
bevel. But we always recommend taking a brand new pair to an excellent ski shop to get tuning
service prior to taking them out the first time." Annelen Schartner, Ski Logik.
It's a shame a manufacturer can't ship a ski with a decent tune!
Stockli:
Email from Stockli:
Most Stckli skis have a factory base bevel of 1 and a side bevel of 1 to 2, most common is 2.
For the World Cup skis we use a bevel of 0.5 (Base) and 2 or 3 side, most common is 3.

MANUFACTURERS WAX MELTING

POINTS

The melting point of the p-tex base material is approx 150*C, and the
epoxy resins used to construct skis and boards is about 170*C so you
can see that there's not much leeway between melting the wax & melting
the bases! The key therefore is to keep the iron moving & don't leave it on
the ski while you answer the phone!

Note
If you're calibrating your iron to match the melt point of a particular wax,
be aware that once an iron is set on a ski or snowboard base (that's at
room temperature), its plate temperature will drop. In the case of many
household or travel irons, this can be as much as 84*F (30*C)...whereas
a specialist waxing iron like the Kunzmann we carry will only drop about
half that amount before their thermostats kick in to bring the iron
temperature back up to speed. Set your iron temperature (or patience
factor) a little higher accordingly. Also remember that if the ski or board
base is colder than room temperature, this fluctuation will initially be
even greater...so exercise still greater patience and caution in this situation.
Temperature Conversion
To convert to C*, subtract 32 from F* and multiply by 5/9...C = (F - 32) x 5/9
To convert to F*, multiply C* by 9/5 and add 32...F = (C x 9/5) + 32
