Description & Features
Diamond stones have the special quality of having the cutting ability of a file and the deburring and polishing ability of a traditional stone all in one tool. Convenient as an on the hill quick tuning tool as well. The special Swix diamond pattern gives these ski tuning stones an excellent cutting and polishing ability as well as added longevity. Use the coarser grits to get through the hardening that occurs during manufacturing or after hitting rocks. The finer grits are great at de-burring and putting on a smooth, sharp finish to ski edges. We recommend using these stones with edge beveling tools and a stone lubricant such as BEAST Juice.

Ski Edge Polishing Tips
- Polishing procedures are best done using diamond stones in bevel and edging tools such as Base BEAST and Side of BEAST. Always polish both the base side and side of edges.
- Initial polishing with a coarse stone is necessary to remove striations in the edge as a result of filing. Use a progression of finer stones in subsequent passes.
- Keep stones clean. BEAST Juice sprayed on stones reduces clogging of the stone and increases cutting and polishing performance of the stone.
