Bevel

Post by István » Wednesday 5 January 2005, 12:23

So, taking all this into account, is there a sense in adding a negative bevel? (removing material form the internal part of the edge, resulting in a lower angle)

Hi Istvan,

obviously your Vorus has not enough edge hold for you *LOL*
But seriously there is no use to do so! Your edges would brake you down, as they were trying to run in circles in opposite directions when your board is ridden flat. Furthermore you don't need a board that grips before it's angulated! cu (see you) in Zinal ;)))

Tom,

Thx for the explanation, I just wanted to understand if this feautre is functional on my sharpener.

Anyway, I'm not using the feautre, and I always ride 88 degrees, applied only to the side of the cant. It still might happen that there is not enough edge-grip, but in these cases I knwo that I screwed up something during the turn :-)

C Ya there,

István

vkrouverk's interpretation is correct.
Istvan, your intuition is correct. Sorry I was not more clear. :)
