Volkl lists the factory edge tuning as 1,4° base bevel, 87,6° sidewall. As I'm reading this, to maintain a close-to factory tune, I need a 1° base shim and an 87° side edger. What does the ",4° and ,6°" indicate?
Thanks
Thanks
That is all I ever do on my skis.Thanks, guys! Dwight, those of the exact angles I was thinking, 1° base, 3 (87°) side.
Thanks again!
Thanks for the info! So can you help we understand why 93 and not 87 for side angle?1 degree base on a slalom will feel pretty slugish. I usually do 0.5/3 but have skied SLs at 0.7/3 when I bought them that way, they were pretty forgiving and not too bad to free ski.
BTW, you don't need to/shouldn't mess with the base bevel once it is set. Just get a 93 degree side edge guide like one of these.

It’s the same thing. Just a different way of measuring.Thanks for the info! So can you help we understand why 93 and not 87 for side angle?
@Swiss Toni - do you have a source for this tolerance information from Wintersteiger? If so, would you please share?It isn’t possible to grind ski edges to a 1/10th of a degree using any of the machines currently available. I think all the major manufacturers use Fill machines to finish their skis, Blizzard has a table that states their edge angle tolerances https://www.blizzard-tecnica.com/assets/documents/blizzard/blizzard_tuning_chart.pdf as you can see the side edge tolerance is -1°/+2° and the base edge tolerance ±0.2° I would expect other manufacturers tolerances to be similar. Wintersteiger states that the tolerance for base/ side edge angles ground on the new Jupiter series is ±0.2° and ±0.25° for their older machines.
