    Wintersteiger RS 350 and TrimJet Ski Tuning Machines for SALE - UPDATE- SOLD

    Wintersteiger OMEGA Racing RS 350 Ski Grinding Machine Base Grinder for SALE- $55,000  SOLD

    Besides the typical benefits of the Omega model range, a special feature of these models is the grinding stone width of 350 mm. You won’t just be able to grind skis and snowboards; you’ll also be able to work very efficiently, because the stone is divided. You can create two structures at the same time by setting a different structure on either half of the stone.

    The benefit is that it allows pre-grinding on one half of the stone and then follow up immediately with fine grinding on the other half. It is hard to imagine a more rational approach. Another positive aspect is the 100 memory slots to store any program needed in the machine. For racing specialists, the Omega RS 350 also offers a centering unit that supports easy and precise grinding of center specific racing structures (e.g. arrows structures).

    Machine can be crated and shipped from Truckee, CA with freight details discussed and arranged

    The New Wintersteiger Omega – What it Does for You

    A quality grind is a critical part of a good ski tune, and with the addition of a Wintersteiger Omega, Start Haus continues to offer cutting edge options for ski tuning, whether you’re a racer or recreational skier.

    Why is the Omega better?

    First – it has the ability to grind separate patterns for the sides, or margins, of the ski.

    On the ski, that means Start Haus can set one pattern down the middle – say an aggressive pattern designed to move water, making for a faster ski on warm, wet snow. But where a traditional grind would put that pattern right out to the edge, where it can be grabby when making turns – the Omega can give you two smooth margins down the sides of the ski.

    With margins

    Standard thumbprint pattern

    That makes for quicker, smoother turn initiation and release without grabbing – giving your ski a sportier, more playful feel.

    For racers, quick turn initiation without grab saves speed and momentum too.

    Beyond the ability
