Swix Gummy Stone

Swix designed the Gummi Stone to remove nasty micro burrs that result after you sharpen your edges. Simply rub the Gummi Stone along the entire length of your ski or board's edge for a smooth finish. Or, just detune your tips and tails, which will reduce the chances of catching an edge, but will keep your side edges ultra-sharp for carving.

  • Grey stone is soft and works well for detuning tips and tails
  • Red stone is for polishing and light to medium edge clean up; can be used after filing to remove micro burrs.
  • White stone is for medium to heavy edge clean-up
  • Blue stone is extra hard for heavily burred edges

Bottom Line: One step closer to your own full-service shop.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

I bought the red and grey stones for my tuning kit. The best part about this stones is that they are small enough to fit in your pocket. I've definitely taken the grey one with me on BC trips to de tune tips and tails if needed. Usually my friends end up borrowing it. The red one is great for cleaning edges and doing a quick tune.

grab a couple

Grab one of each color (hardness) and use them as a system to prep and maintain your edges. They make for a great recovery tool after poor care leaves little rust spots on your skis (red one).

I want to detune my snowboard. Would the Gray or Blue be better? It

I want to detune my snowboard. Would the Gray or Blue be better?

It says the Gray would be better in the description, but it seems like the harder blue stone would be better because in detuning you really wanna take down your edges.

Gray. The gray does a very good job of quickly dulling that edge as it has a good grit and the softness lets it kind of conform to the edge (putting more surface in contact).

Great Little Stone

By:

I bought the "red" stone. Bought it for detuning tips/tails on my skis and helping removing rust. This thing is nice and small, feels good in the hand and easily removes blemishes and detunes the tips/tails. I'm glad I got the red color. Yes it does make a little bit of a mess but all gummy stones do. I really do love this little stone.

Gummi stones rock!

By:

The red gummi stone is swix's "medium hard" stone, with a softer grey, and harder blue also available.

As such, this stone is the perfect middle ground. It's a must have if you're doing any kind of serious edge care.

Since the picture doesn't show it too well, the stone is about 3 inches long and 1 inch tall.

These little guys are awesome

After sitting all off season my skis had some surface rust and burrs from last season. Then I packed the skis on the roof and drove through the elements to Utah. Needless to say the skis didn't look so good when I got there. I picked up the red one and after putting in a little muscle into it this is what they looked like.. 3 year old Bacons and the edges look like new. Pretty awesome. Buy some!

Good ol' Gummi Stones, work like a charm

By:

These really do there job; removes all those nasty little burrs that cause your face to smack to the ground after you tried to de-tune or tune up those edges. Lasts a very long time. Dont use inside though, little particles fall off when gliding across the edges. Save yourself some pain and get one.
