Twizzstyle, thanks, this makes sense.

Well, rnordell, their products looks pretty interesting. I am just wondering which could be more universal for snowboard- base flattener or file base flattener. Maybe somone has experience with these products?

Thank you, Philipp, for the comment! As you mentioned, that you work in a ski service, may I ask you another question which might be interesting for other forum users as well. What about sanding base locally after Ptex repair? Usually after using Ptex candles and scraping them off with metal scraper...

Base grinding

Hi,

as the base grinding machines (stone/sand belt) are quite expensive, I was wondering, has anyone tried hand belt sander? Maybe some water could be applied on the base while sanding. I believe the idea is the same as for base grinding machines only the hand tool is narrower.

Thanks!
