Well, the word's out that I'm making skis and the latest contribution is shown in the picture below. Total cost... $FREE.99 plus $75 for the gas to go get it.
THANK YOU SNOWBOARDERS! Since it will only stone grind skis, they couldn't find anyone to buy it.
No not really, but who wouldn't like to say they have a Wintersteiger. The stone is almost new. I figure a couple hundred bucks in belts/emulsion and I'll be good to go. I've got access to space for a shop and a bud who's an electician. I just couldn't pass it up. It's got the edge grinder attachment too!
nice score! You guessed it G&W in IV. I got some garage space if you need a place to put your grinder. Can do electrical too. ru the fortress guy workin w/ avf?
Once we get 'er wired in place, your welcome to partake. It may require a core group of people using it to keep it happy. I'll probably add a bench and a HotBox for the local racing crowd too. I think I can also get another smaller belt sander for the initial de-glassification.
If you are serious, I'd like to give it a try also. It sure would be worth the drive to Tahoe and I'd be sure to bring some home brew for the trip! I've never had my skis base ground until this thursday. Can't wait to see how the operation works!
