The SideCut Base Bevel Tool is designed for skiers and snowboarders who want to fine-tune their edge performance. With options ranging from 0.5° to 1°, this tool enhances your edge grip and smoothness. At Utah Ski Gear, we offer 0.5°, 0.7°, and 1° bevels to match various skiing styles and terrains. Color does not reflect bevel degree. Key Features: Comes with the Sidecut Wedge tool for added precision. Available in 0.5°, 0.7°, and 1° degrees for beginners to experts. Sharpen skis and snowboards for better turn initiation and smoother rides. Compatible with Diamond Discs, Stones, Files, and Ceramic Stones. Replaceable anti-friction 'D gliders' and interchangeable stainless steel glide plates (sold separately). Made in North America for top-quality performance. Used For: Race, All-Mountain, Free-ride, Powder skis and Snowboards. Base Bevel (º) Description 0.5º Used on all skis/boards and all slalom skis. For advanced to expert racers who pure carve the majority of their turns and like aggressive and responsive turn initiation and grip. 0.7º Used when a 0.5º base bevel is a little 'too aggressive' or 'too catchy' for you. Used typically on younger skiers under 14 and most expert All-Mountain skiers and boarders (our recommended 'default' bevel). You may also use on the first 5-20 cm of skis for easier turn initiation while 0.5º is used for the remainder of the edge to the tail. 1.0º - 1.5º Used for SG/DH skis, for younger ski racers, free-ride, recreational and terrain park style skiers. For those who want easier steering and turn initiation and don't like that catchy feeling. As above, you may also use the 1.0º guide on the first 5-20 cm of skis for easier turn initiation and the remainder on 0.5º or 0.7º degrees for example. Also used frequently by ski teachers working with lower end clients where steering skills are crucial, freeriders, and for the park and pipe. Recreational skiers commonly prefer 1.0º to 1.5º for all around use because it allows the skis to steer easier.
