This unit physically resembles irons called "Snowboard and ski wax iron", "FX waxing iron", "economy wax iron", and a bunch of other names on other sites but there are not enough details given to determine if they are the same unit. What is the power rating and temperature range of this unit? EDIT: This unit also physically resembles a Dakine iron and a OneBallJay iron sold on this site. Are they the same product under different brands? question_138865 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 07:05:04 GMT Write your question here...I adventure hike, power walk, do agility http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Swix-Cruiser-Pant-Womens/SWI0073M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_119826#question_119826 Swix Cruiser Pant - Women's Write your question here...I adventure hike, power walk, do agility with my dogs, and track with my dogs and hope to start cross country skiing in the next couple of weeks.

Once my base and edge bevels are http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Swix-Edger-2x2/SWI0240M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_89006#question_89006 Swix Edger 2x2 I have the Swix edger 2x2. Once my base and edge bevels are set, what should I use to keep the edge sharp? I saw that Swix offers the "carving kit 1" that includes square inserts that look like diamond stones with the edger 2x2. I assume they fit into the edger 2x2. However, I can't seem to find them sold separately. I've been using the less abrasive side of the Swix dual-sided pocket stone to fine-tune/sharpen my edges before waxing, but it's difficult to control the angle. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. question_89006 Sun, 01 Mar 2009 13:58:42 GMT I'm 6'5" and will mostly ski powder.
