Catching an edge on manky snow sucks. Deburring your ski edges smooths everything out when you’re making turns. Here are some easy steps to deburr your ski edges.
Tools for Deburring
- Diamond stone
- Gummy stone
- A cup of water
- Vices or tuning stand (optional)
Steps
- Dip diamond stone in water.
- Slide diamond stone along the base-side of one of the edges until all burrs are smoothed over. Make sure you keep the stone parallel to the base.
- Repeat Step 2 for the other base-side edge.
- Flip ski on its side and slide the diamond stone along one of the sidewall edges until there are no longer burrs. Be careful to hold the stone perpendicular to the base so you don’t dull the edge.
- Make sure the stone is wet and repeat for other sidewall edge.
- Polish all edges with the gummy stone.
