Boot Grinding Tool

Rating: 0

I'm looking for a new boot grinding tool for the inside of the shell.

I've heard that Dremmel tools really don't do a very good job.

Can anyone, especially the Boot Guys, recommend tools

which do a good job.

Prices and/or web sites would be appreciated.

 

Thx,

 

Tom

Tom,

 

in the USA you guys tend to use foredom grinders which are available from sun valley ski tools (and probably a few other places too), over here in the UK /Europe then Suhner is the weapon of choice...the suhner runs at about £500 and has no foot control, but it is the thing that most of the world cup techs use, i have no idea what price the Foredom is , but i think it wasa little less than the suhner. Grind heads will run you $50 upwards for 1" diameter

 

are you working for a shop, or is this for personal use....they aren't cheap bits of kit if it is for personal use.  

 

good luck
