Swix Racing Side Edge File Guide

No, this guide does not include a clamp. You will need to purchase a separate spring clamp to secure your file or stone to the tool while you work.

Hardened aluminum is significantly more durable and resistant to wear over time. Unlike plastic guides, which can degrade or lose their precision after repeated use, this solid metal construction ensures your edge angles remain consistent for years.

The cutout is designed to allow metal shavings to fall away from the base as you file. This prevents debris from getting trapped between the tool and the ski base, which helps avoid unwanted scratches during the tuning process.

This guide is designed to be versatile and accommodates most standard ski files and diamond stones. Just ensure your file or stone is compatible with the width of the guide's slot.

The angle you choose depends on your preference for grip versus ease of turning. A lower angle, like 85° or 86°, provides a sharper edge for better ice grip, while a higher angle, like 88° or 89°, is more forgiving and easier to initiate turns with.
