Edge for 1.5mm base

Post by Richuk »

Does anyone know what size edges I will need for 1.5mm base? I would like to buy enough for ten pairs. Happy to share an order with others in Europe or elsewhere :D

If you use the 1.33mm edges found in the skibuilders' store with 1.5mm base material you should be able to grind your finished skis down to a nice flat base with minimal edge loss. I've found that I can get some pretty deep dimples in my bases and I've often thought of using slightly thicker base material to compensate for these imperfections.
