Upgrade edge tools

[Dwight]

Time for me to get some new tools, diamonds and stuff.

@SlideWright is selling a nice looking edge tool. Anyone have experience with this particular model?

Thanks

I saw that when I was shopping and decided against it. To me, reconfigurable means mis-configurable.

I have one and for the same price as the multi, I could get the 2, 3 and 6.

I use one of these instead of the 6 for sidewall work, depends on how smooth your sidewalls gotta be though

A side wall cutter is nice and quick for bulk removal. A panzer file with a 6/7 degrees makes for a good final touch and the occasional cut back on the road.

The SVST unit @Near Nyquist mentioned is nice. I also like the Artech harden aluminum file guide. I have both.
The Artech guide seems to collect less junk on the guide plate. That said, the S/S plate cleans off quick with a single edge razor and Scotchbrite. So thatis not really an issue with me.

Edit: The panzer is great in trimming the titanal plate that usually sit on top of the base edge and cutting back the tips and tails on a ski with two sheets of metal.

I'm a little old school or new school. I use a sharp chisel and a steady hand to remove side wall when needed.
