Color: Red Size: 7 x 4 x 2-Inch
I had a read a review else ware on a number of sidewall planners and this one came up as the most economical and easiest to use. I found this a great tool and once you get the hang of using it this side planner does a great job. Tip, on the product card instructions you should show that the tool is running on the Base side of the ski and on top of the edge. Adjust the cutting tool so that it just cuts the sidewall bevel against the metal edge of the ski and not cutting the edge. It can cut the edge and that is not desirable. I marked with a Black magic marker which way CW or CCW to turn the screws for the correct direction of the cutting wheel and cutting depth as will as which direction the tool should be pushed along the ski. Makes a nice little spiral twisted plastic waste stream which is easy to clean up rather than leaving a lot of small pieces of plastic to clean up. I highly recommend this tool. I am an experienced ski tuner in sharping and polishing edges as well as waxing my own skis. The cost of skis today should make one want to maintain their own equipment for the best performance and life of your skis. Your sking experience will be that much more enjoyable. A ceramic 1200 Grit stone with the proper edge guide angle make for the best performing tuned edge and takes next to nothing off the edge for a good polished edge and closing the pores of the metal to reduce the chance of rust. ... show more

  • Work's well
Color: Red Size: 7 x 4 x 2-Inch
Works really proficient at removing sidewall on skis to be able to get 2° side edge bevel. Be careful as to not take too much off, just a small amount. One pass is all it takes, use a slow even stroke, not choppy back forth multiple stroke or you can gouge sidewall, which will leave burrs and defeat the whole purpose. I practiced on and old pair of skis first, too get the adjustments just right. You should have one long curly sliver of sidewall leftover, about 2 mm thick. ... show more

  • Takes a little getting used to... then this tool RIPS!
Color: Red Size: 7 x 4 x 2-Inch
I got the feel for this planer tool on an old set of "garage" skis that don't get used any more. I would not take this tool out of the box and start working on your favorite boards (or new ones) without first doing some test cuts on an old pair. The adjustment system works very well and allows for a very precise cut. I can remove material exactly where I need to without having to hog out the entire sidewall. The catch is you must adjust for both height and depth to ensure the amount of "bite" is correct. Do this and you can achieve great results. I found that on most skis I would have to adjust the planer for cutting the tips, then re-adjust for the waist, and then adjust again for the tails. Properly adjusted this tool does not chatter. It's made well and the round cutting disc is a little more forgiving than the square or triangle cutting edges I've used in the past. ... show more

  • Works well enough
Color: Red Size: 7 x 4 x 2-Inch
Pro - able to set blade depth and how close to ski's metal edge - simple enough to make multiple passes. I find it best to start further away from edge and with less depth, then work deeper and toward the edge bit by bit. Con - somewhat difficult to see where the blade will make contact with the sidewall, or (bad) metal edge. - tends to catch on topsheet at tip & tail, so extra care is needed at both ends. ... show more

  • Good Value, but Not For Me
Color: Red Size: 7 x 4 x 2-Inch
I'm conflicted on how to rate this. I could have easily rated this 4 stars, because you can't really expect much from a $35 tool in a plastic housing. On the other hand, that's exactly what you get in my experience - a mediocre tool. I suppose the key question is, what would someone on a budget purchase? The Beast is basically a 7 degree edge guide for a panzer file. Just a panzer file? Maybe ... I find it difficult to set the cutting depth accurately. I ended up giving it away and getting the much more expensive SVST World Cup sidewall planer, after considering both the SVST and the FKS/Kunzman planer (also a highly regarded planer). Personally, I'm thrilled with the SVST, but I'm a tool junkie. Others would differ in their opinion, and there's a lively discussion on the topic over here: http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/showthread.php/214113-sidewall-planers-any-good-ones ... show more

  • does exactly what it needs to
Color: Red Size: 7 x 4 x 2-Inch
great quality. takes some getting used to. easy to adjust and works great. sharp and leaves a clean cut. essential for tuning skis at home. if you were in a commercial environment I would upgrade but for a DIY home with a few pairs this is perfect.

  • Works great!
Color: Red Size: 7 x 4 x 2-Inch
I was nervous to get one of these after being told how hard they are to use, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. If you can handle using a scraper sharpener then you won't have any trouble making the smooth steady motions this requires. Just err on the side of not taking enough away to begin with, you can always make another pass. It works so much better than the old panzer file I used to use. Swix recommends this round blade for cap skis, and their other tool that also has a square blade for sidewall skis. However some people online said they prefer this one for sidewall skis as well. I haven't used the square blade, but I have used this round blade on three pairs of sidewall skis and it worked just fine on all of them. ... show more
