Rotary Grinding vs. Filing

Typical do it yourself edge tuning systems utilize a file/diamond stone with a bevel guide, which have problems:

  1. Files leave a rough surface finish. EdgeTune Pro's fine #400 grit ceramic stone leaves a smooth, shiny finish with very slight striations.
  2. Files remove significant edge material, reducing the life of the ski/board. EdgeTune Pro removes only a few thousandths of an inch, saving edge material and extending the life of the skis/boards.
  3. The file or stone tends to "load up" or wear out quickly; EdgeTune Pro´s grinding stones have an outstanding life.
  4. The flat file or stone doesn´t conform to the side edge curvature of modern shape skis/boards. They only make contact on the very ends of the file or stone, making the tool ineffective; EdgeTune™ Pro utilizes a rotary cylinder that follows the exact contour of the shaped edge.
  5. Hand filing is laborious and slow; EdgeTune™ Pro is easy and fast.
