What are the most frequent causes of base damage? How often can I have my skis ground?

Frequently Asked Questions
This depends on what needs to be done to the skis. If they are badly out of flat, or deeply scratched, it may be necessary to take rather more base off in order to produce a reasonably flat ski, and this will not leave as much base material for future restructuring. Flat skis with no damage, on the other hand, can be restructured over and over. Lars Svensson reports doing some pairs "maybe 40 times". Rule-of-thumb: GL RE11 structure is approximately 0.02 - 0.

Return to top What are the most frequent causes of base damage?

Frequently Asked Questions
Probably the two most common forms of base damage I see are poor steel scraping and over-heating with the iron. A word about both may save needing to send in your skis for grinding! Be sure to use a sharp scraper or good quality. Avoid thin scrapers that can bend and create rounded bases, and avoid using a burnished (wire) edge unless you are very, very sure what you are doing. The best steel scrapers are very hard steel, and need to be sharpened on a diamond stone.

How do I ground myself so I don't damage the memory module?

SpecTek Select - Welcome
Static electricity can damage your memory module and other computer parts. Before installing memory, you need to ground yourself to avoid "shocking" your computer. If you have wrist straps designed for this purpose, you should wear them. If you don't have wrist straps, here is the easiest way to ground yourself: Plant your feet and don't walk around. If you do need to walk around, ground yourself again before touching any of the internal parts of your computer.

What causes ground loops?

Radial Twin-Iso FAQ
What engineers refer to as 'ground loops' are caused by several factors. A 'ground loop' is a noise that is often created when two pieces of electrically charged equipment are connected together and their differing ground reference voltages interact. This is often unpredictable, whereby the system noise may be 'acceptable' in one venue and be absolutely horrendous in another. Transformers isolate the two devices by converting the electrical current into a magnetic field and then back to current.

I have to figure some people come here and have the same feeling.

Experts believe that the rapid forward and backward head movement that occurs during violent shaking, throwing, or slamming against an object causes a baby's brain to shear and forcefully collide with the skull. This movement can tear blood vessels in a baby's brain, causing bleeding and swelling of surrounding tissue. Nerve cells may die from being stretched or sheared. Bleeding into and around the retina in the eyes can also occur.
