Just do it yourself. Best way to know what you’re getting… and then you can actually tune your equipment regularly, like it should be. ---

> [@walter](#): > > Just do it yourself. Best way to know what you’re getting… and then you can actually tune your equipment regularly, like it should be. I disagree. If you are experienced, fine, but if not the unexperienced can easily screw up the edges with a file. ---

X2^. There are multi- million dollar tuning machines out there that can duplicate and or create any base sturcture possibly concieved of, as well as provide custom ceramic disc edge finishes. Skis/ boards perform way better with a correct tune. It’s a day and night difference.
