barryj Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Brand new Swoard Dual II arrived today and I took it to the local tuning maestro I trust. I was wanting a typical 1/2 tune and he says the board came from the factory with a 2 edge and he would have to grind it to get back down to a 1 degree edge !! Seems ludicrous to take away material on a brand new board !! He suggested he do a 2/2 and that I should ride it and see how it hooks up ...and that he sees Kesslers and Oxxes that come 2/2 and 2/3 from factory ?? Besides a 1/2 tune I've seen reference to doing a 1/3 tune...but never a 2/2 or 2/3 What Gives?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 I think a lot of people get a little too excited about this particular statistic. Look at how wide your board is and picture the perhaps 1/64 th. of an inch edge that you are fixated on . Perhaps a slight nose detune would serve you better. As a side note a new Coiler usually comes bottom 0 base .5 degree sidewall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjnakata Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Definitely not a 2/2! For Tahoe I'd go with a 0.5/2 or a 1/2 if he can't do 0.5 or 0.75/2. Maybe consider another tuner... A lot of carving is in the mind. If you feel your equipment is right-on that will translate to your riding! Edit: it does sound like a board QC thing...unless EC does is different... Also could it be a measurement thing? Edited February 9, 2018 by rjnakata I get it now...

nils Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 It appears strange that the base has a 2° because the factory is using a 0.5° setting on the base... I have checked it on mine on a wintersteiger new machine and operator confirmed it was .5..at 1° it started grinding. It is very difficult to measure the base angle unless you have a very precise machine btw.. As for settings, usually -1° is good on a multi purpose board, and I do 2° on the side to stay at 89° total on my Dual2.
