How to wax and sharpen your own skis at home | DIY Ski tune

A company called KemiMoto reached out to me and asked me to try out their ski and snowboard tuning kit. The job of tuning your own skis doesn't have to be too difficult if you have the right tools. I'll show you the step by step process I take to tune my skis at home.

i live in a small town, so i’m thinking of starting a ski waxing/tuning/repair business in my basement and this vid helps 😊

This is great man, always wanted to learn how to do this myself, gonna try it on an old pair off ski next season to see how it feels

Couple of comments I'd do different way: 1. Use the wax scraper so that you rather push it than pull it. 2. Wire brushes (brass or steel) should be used only in one direction (from tip to tail), not back and forth.

Your other video you made the Vise and asked for improvements. Didnt find it fast so I add the tip here. Add a plastic bag in the end with thick Iron wire for the excess wax you scrape off.

Great idea on that ski vice. Probably works better than the ones you cab buy. I might copy that.

Thanks for sharing. Just got this kit and realizing I definitely need to make a clamp set up for my skis now before using it….

Need them sharp edges for the ice coast 🧊 We got the pow here in Utah ❄️

curious why you dont tune the base bevels

[waterchris]

Quick question. With the edge tool, how do you figure out which angle to use?

[davidschiappa]

I have a almost identical kit, mine from Outdoor Master. A couple of qustions:
1. Instructions also say to sharpen from tip to tail. For any given angle on the tool, say 88 degrees, if you follow the arrow direction on the tool you can sharpen from tip to tail on one side only. If you keep the same angle and sharpen the other edge from tip to tail, you are going against the arrow on the tool. Should you sharpen tail to tip on that 2nd side? Or do you ignore the arrow and sharpen tip to tail?
2. The instructions show base bevels of 0.5 degrees, 0.75 degrees, and 1 degree. How do you sharpen the base to achieve those bevels?

Rather than using brushes and scotch bright to finish the job, how do u feel about using a fairly aggressive buffing pad such as a compounding pad, and using a power buffer along with an additional layer of wax product rated for fiberglass, paint etc surfaces?

Thanks for sharing! Getting all geared up for our season to begin. What Go Pro where you using at the end? I imagine you had it attached to a pole. It was pretty cool to have the rear view follow footage.

The edging tool instructions are not clear to me. You need to focus a bit more attention and time on that part.

It's a product review rather than a generic how to

[NordsternOutdoor]

you actually should show how to do the detuning.

Never brush up and down the base. Tip to tail ONLY
