Description & Features
Swix Racing Diamond Stones are versatile ski tuning tools designed for precision edge maintenance. Available in five grits (#100, #200, #400, #600, #1000), these 100mm stones feature a new, larger grinding surface for efficient work. Diamond stones combine the cutting ability of a file with the deburring and polishing ability of a traditional stone — all in one tool. The unique Swix diamond pattern provides superior cutting performance, smooth polishing, and exceptional durability.
Use coarse grits (#100, #200) to remove factory-hardened steel or repair rock damage, and finer grits (#400, #600, #1000) to de-burr and achieve a smooth, sharp finish. Convenient for on-hill touch-ups or full workshop tuning. For best results, pair with edge beveling tools and a stone lubricant like BEAST Juice.
