Hold the side edger vertically, so the file will press against the edge at the required angle. Once established, there is no need to change base bevel or sharpen base edges during the season. I use this with the Swix tuning bench. Go to Alpine skiing. However, not to worry. Because base bevel determines the quickness of the edge engagement—the radius or sidecut of the ski—and the snow surface.
