The polycarbonate used in the Base BEAST main frame is one of the toughest and most stable materials available and is used in many high tech applications, including eyeglass lenses, Blu-ray discs, and bulletproof shields.

The accuracy of the Base BEAST is assured by a patented design, which maintains the base angle with a precise stainless steel elevation bar set at the optimum distance from the ski edge.

This durability of material combined with an accurate, easy to use design makes Base BEAST the #1 selling base edge beveler in the World!

Technical Info:

General Bevel Recommendations


The differences listed are variable depending on the snow hardness, strength and skill of athlete and speed. A high level SL or GS skier is usually on ice and wants the base edge to be in immediate contact and the side edge to penetrate for better grip. A less experienced athlete will find these extreme bevels may hook up too quick and the edge penetrate too far and the combination can cause erratic performance and possible knee injury.

Edge Beveling Tips

  1. Don't sharpen edge from bottom as you will remove too much base material near edge so ski will become base high and cause instability of the ski.
  2. Use felt tip pen to darken edge before initial base edge beveling with file and remove only enough material until edge is shiny. Don't file into base material.
  3. Polish edge with diamond stone to remove striations left by file. A few minutes polishing will make an incredible difference in performance.
