Cant on a snowboard is an equally important face than the tip of the scalpel or cutter on wood. The life of an athlete depends on the correctness and accuracy of its sharpening. Sneorically sharpened Kant will lead to the fact that the athlete simply will throw out from the skiing, despite the fact that it clearly performs technical stunts.
Required tools
The best tool for sharpening Kant is cores. It possesses parallel and precisely exhibited by an abrasive coating guides. They provide the ideality of the groove of steel, from which Kant himself is made. Cantoresis is a special sharpener, without which the sharp edges of the edge will not be able to fully. In service centers, repairing skiing and snowboarding, this service is provided with the help of mechanical electricity, working like coresu.
But even manual cantherase necessarily has adjustable sharpening angle. It is also possible to use files, but it will require either the cost of time or a clear and spent exhausting skill, and even better - both of the other, as the work to equalize the sharpness of Kant is very filigree.
There is no rough approach, like when sharpening a kitchen knife or an ax.
Choosing angle
In the new and just purchased a snowboard to sharpen the Kant is not necessary. This work has already been done by the manufacturer: Kant Snowboard is cast in advance and baked on technologies that allowed not to deter time during the passage of hundreds of kilometers of descents. But if the descents are everyday, then after 1-2 months, Kant Snowboard is blown up and comes clogging from small stones found under the snow.
Flying on them at high speed, Kant gets small longitudinal and transverse, as well as oblique furrows, worsening the dynamics and handling. To decide which Cant sharpening angle to choose, call certain types of sharpening.
- Factory. At the factory, the carts are tested and, if necessary, is slightly re-added. A snowboard model released by the plant is ready for use.
- Sports. One or two degrees are removed, which allows the athlete to unfold, extract other tricks.
- Reverse. Suitable for parkers who like to ride on the railings on a mini snowboard.
- Special. The ribs are shifted, while the angle is pushing, and the base, in turn, is in no way affecting. The sharp angle obtained in this way will make it possible to be easier to hold on the legs after turning in the process of further descent.
The angle is selected mainly from two ranges of values.
- 85-87 degrees. They enjoy extreme snowboarders. Slalle - their elements, however, the technique should be clearly worked out so that Rider does not flew out from the board when reversal and sharp turns. The angle of 88 degrees will require less experience.
- 89-90. Suitable for beginners, just yesterday I first stuck on a snowboard. Used on gentle and smooth tracks, with a rather low descent rate. Children and adolescents begin with snowboards, whose Kant is sharpened under this angle.
Sharpening Cant, Clean the snowboard from dirt. Another equally important component is a smooth and slippery surface, regularly lubricated with special compositions.
How to point correctly?
To sharpen Cant on a snowboard, prepare the equipment correctly.
- Secure the board with the most reliable way. You will need a vice or a special machine.
- Wipe the pollutable surface with the help of matter without a pile. It uses any solvent that removes the traces of the previous lubrication layer.
- Liquid pulling and scratches on the sliding surface using thermocons or special candles.
- Wait for the surface to cool, and remove the plastic edges protruding on the sliding face. It should be perfectly smooth and smooth: the slightest roughness and hurts slow down the snowboard, deprive him of control lights.
- Collect the Kant with a file.
Now the board is prepared for sharpening and, in fact, sharpening. Make the following.
- Cover the moving face with paraffin: it will not give a steel chips to settle on it, why the smoothness of the projectile would be impaired again.
- Place the desired angle on the cantherais.
- With the help of a building marker, spend a line on the Kant of Snowboard: this will allow the cores to not go to the Watch further than intended.
- Start swing. If the line is fully sided, the kant is applied to the desired width. Pressing should be unwanted, uniform, start from the front and end on the tail. Sleep with a plastic brush chips formed when bantching edge.
- Additionally, process the Kant using the bar. This is the final finishing of the main guiding snowboard.
Check out the correctness of the snowboard: make sure that you have not exceeded degrees, by cantherase. Ideally, if you live in the mountains either on the hill, and there is an opportunity to go through the familiar track to check how much the projectile has become controlled.
Useful recommendations
Rules without which snowboard does not appeal professionally, one for all athletes. If you are one of those who do not need to contact other masters, love to do everything at home and do it yourself, then follow the recommendations.
- Side faces accurate only when carefully processed the lower.
- The main sharpening is not performed before pre-grinding, otherwise all the blows and irregularities will not be fully eliminated.
- It is impossible to sharpen Kanta on the contrary (from the back end to the front), otherwise the cut will be even more blued, and the snowboard will stop accelerate to the desired speed.
- Cantluens can not be put differently than the edge of the blade towards the beam.
- Kant must be not just perfectly sharpened. It is polished in the transverse plane, according to the angle, as well as in the longitudinal one. The transverse irregularities are fraught with trays, flushing with a skiing, grinding into the snowstay, which is why the athlete is not separated only by a light fright.
If you are not sure that you are right and perfectly sharpening Kant, then it is better not to be taken for this work, and trust it with a specialist.
