Joe, I haven't and I wasn't considering this until we walked into the US Ski Team ski room and saw all the techs using them. That is the biggest endorsement a product like this can get. I don't know anything about the Snowglide machine. My buddy Thor has seen a lot of new products come and go and never be used by WC prep guys. Many of the products that never make it into those rooms just aren't very good. From what we can tell, this product actually competes with what the best ski tech guys in the world can do by hand. I will have mine on Monday. My guess is that we won't have it figured out and dialed in for another week or so. I will come back with a review after I tune some skis and get them on snow.

Ron, $2400 is actually less than most bike frames cost. Having said that, if you are only tuning 1 or 2 pairs of skis it's no big deal to do them by hand, and how aften are you going to need to sharpen the edges on Bent Chetlers (rarely if at all). I have a whole aresenal of carving skis that I try and keep sharp.
