ski tuning guide:
diamond stone deburr
Tools: Diamond stone, brake retainers (optional), base and edge bevel guides (optional)
| 1. Prepare skis | Locate burrs | Stroke finger or thumb along full length of each edge with very light pressure. Burrs will feel rough. |
| Install brake retainers (if repair is near brakes) |  |
|
| 2. Deburr base edge |
Wet the diamond stone with cutting fluid, water, or melted snow. Hold diamond stone flat across ski base. Place thumb directly above ski edge. With medium pressure, stroke the stone from tip toward tail along burred sections. When the stone hits the burrs, it will sound "crunchy" and feel different. If the stone does not hit the burrs, do not tilt it away from the base; this will overbevel the base edge. Instead, go to step 3. |
 |
| If you are unsure of holding the stone at the correct angle, use the base bevel guide. See the "Base edge bevel" task, but use the diamond stone instead of the file. | ||
| 3. Deburr and sharpen the side edge, |
Wet the diamond stone with cutting fluid, water, or melted snow. Hold diamond stone lengthwise along edge of ski. Start with the stone perpendicualr to the base. Then, tilt it slightly away from the base to match your side edge bevel amount (usually 1 or 2 degrees). Use your thumb to help hold it at the desired angle. With medium pressure, stroke the stone from tip toward tail along burred sections. When the stone hits the burrs, it will sound "crunchy" and feel different. Keep stroking until the burrs are gone. Test by stroking with your finger, and by listening. To sharpen the edge, stroke along the full length of the edge after you have deburred it.
|
 |
| If you are unsure of holding the stone at the correct angle, use the edge bevel guide. See the "Sharpen edges" task, but use the diamond stone instead of the file. | ||
| 4. Finish | Use a rag or paper towel to wipe any residue off the base and edges. Clean the diamond stone with a wet rag, or old toothbrush. |
