I only use mine outside...
I think this is how I'm going to solve the problem as well. I may make a portable vise setup on a strip of 3/4" plywood that I can carry up to the deck and clamp to the railing for quick setup.I only use mine outside...
Working outside is way better for me, but a portable bench just adds too much wasted motion. Set up a fixture that can stay outside all winter long. A 5 foot long saw horse might be enough, or even just brackets on the hand rail. Use dimension lumber or even pallet wood. Plywood is too spendy and doesn't weather well for outdoor use.I think this is how I'm going to solve the problem as well.

Yes. I’ll be home tomorrow and will confirm I still have it. I never use my fine wheel. I’ll shoot you a note tomorrow night.Thanks both, I appreciate the perspectives even if there's not total agreement. I'm intrigued.
For those who have the Fine wheel but don't use it, anyone interested in selling theirs?
Cutting the sidewall and taking a machine to my Stocklis was a bit scary
I expected the edges to be sharper than they turned out but maybe with practice I’ll get better at that. I used the medium wheel and it took 3 passes to get all the sharpie off the edges from tip to tail. I could scrape some skin off my fingernails but not as much as another pair of skis that were sharpened from SkiMD.
You used it for the first time.....with your Stocklis?!
Brave dude!
I keep tiptoeing up to the edge on one of these, but never quite pull the trigger.
If you are doing a new pair of Stockli. It will take you way more than 3 passes even with a coarse stone.
Rather than counting passes. Look at the sharpened edge with a light to verify the grinder marks has reach the side edge/base edge intersection along the entire length of the ski. A Illuminated Jewelry Loupe will often help with the inspection.
