rikytheripster Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Looking to buy a complete kit(saw previous thread) and was wondering what different, if any tools/equip you will need to allow you to tune both boards, carving and ski's? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDY_2_Carve Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 I don't know anything about ski's, but they should be pretty much the same. Make sure you get the widest wax scraper you can for snowboards. If I had to do it over I would just buy a wax scraper, nice diamond stones, gummi stone, and a edge tool. Then buy scotch brite pads from wal-mart. They do great for finishing touches on your wax jobs. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Sub Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 get what was mentioned. heck..if you get a proper tune to start, you dont even need an edge tool! just some gummi stones to remove burrs, polishing stones to do the fine tuning, wax, a good scraper, and something to buff it out. a brush or scrub pads. es todo!

Slim Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 you haven't yet seen it, tognar is a good resource for tuning info, kits, and tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 thats where I get most of my stuff I am a big fan of the swix exactor just keep the peg clean and it is accurate enough allot of tune geeks will tell you only to use a machined file guide but its not that bid of a difference as long as you either start with a good tune or careful while you tune(keeping the pegs flat on the base) daimond stones are pretty important if you have a coarse one and a medium or fine one, the coarse stone will eliminate the need for a file unless you really need to remove allot of edge finer stones for polishing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy D Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 I use the same kit to tune both my skis and snowboards. As stated above, a nice wide scraper is key. Also, I use a rather narrow file for tuning; a wider file would be easier to grasp and control. I got all my stuff at really great prices here: http://artechski.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubz Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Ripster I just went through the process of starting from scratch to get a basic tuning kit from Tognar.com. If you are interested, send me an email an I can send my shopping list. It was generated from help from some other folks and my own research. gregory.troxell@zurichna.com Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
