XRiller Polishing
The problem with wire-edge at XRiller helical knives. Some already sold XRiller have a quite troublesome problem – one of the helical knives stops to roll and begin to plough the ski running surface (SRS). It is absolutely not desirable, because the key task of the XRiller treatment is to make a crisscross pattern, not a longitudinal structure. From another side, XRiller has to knurl pattern, not to cut pattern. By this reason, the helical knives have to roll. Part of very sharp helical knives has wire-edges (burr) on cutting edge. Such burrs bend when they press and then seizes in ski base material. Thus, they are not able to roll, they begin to plough. The solution is quite simple – to clean off burrs. To clean (grind) with sandpaper, emery cloth, abrasive sponge, emery pad, Scotch-Brite line and other grinding media. Kuzmin Ski Technology AB apologize for the troubles with our XRiller. Sorry! Please, polish yours own to avoid the problems. Since 10 November 2015 all XRiller already has extra polished edges (no burrs).
