SNOLI SKS Racing Select Sidewall Planer
Grinding ski edges with the Snoli SKS Racing Select Sidewall Cutter – the foundation for perfect race edges
Those who want to grind ski edges at the highest level must first work on the sidewall. This is one of the most common mistakes in hobby ski servicing. Many skiers invest in high-quality files and diamond stones but wonder about poor grinding results. The reason: the sidewall blocks access to the steel edge.
The Snoli SKS Racing Select Sidewall Cutter was developed precisely for this problem. It precisely removes excess sidewall material and creates the necessary clearance so that files and diamond stones can work cleanly on the steel edge.
In racing, a professional sidewall cutter is basic equipment. Without correctly exposed edges, a precise edge grind cannot be achieved – regardless of the quality of the files used.
Grinding ski edges begins with proper sidewall preparation

Why a sidewall cutter is indispensable for professional ski service
In modern ski construction, the plastic sidewall often extends very close to the steel edge.
The problem:
- Files hit plastic instead of steel
- Grinding angles become inaccurate
- Files wear out faster
- Edges cannot be fully ground
The Snoli SKS Racing Select solves this problem by controlled removal of the sidewall.
The result:
- Free access to the steel edge
- More precise angles
- Even material removal
- Longer lifespan of files and diamond stones
- More professional grinding results
Tangible advantages on the piste
More precise edge geometry
Only exposed edges can be worked on precisely.
More edge grip on ice
The file reaches the entire steel edge and produces a cleaner grind.
More direct power transmission
Precisely ground edges react more accurately to pressure build-up.
More consistent turning characteristics
Even edges ensure predictable handling.
More performance in race training
Especially on artificial snow and icy training slopes, the higher precision is immediately noticeable.
Why cheap sidewall cutters often cause problems
Many simple models work inaccurately or remove the sidewall uncontrollably.
Typical problems:
- Uneven cut
- Unclean guidance
- Increased effort
- Poor access to the edge
The Snoli SKS Racing Select convinces with:
- Precise guidance
- Clean material removal
- High stability
- Professional manufacturing
- Proven racing quality
Especially in professional ski service, this precision quickly pays off.

Our Recommendation from Race Service
Those who regularly want to grind ski edges should first correctly prepare the sidewall. A high-quality sidewall cutter often brings more grinding quality than the next expensive file.
Processing Instructions
For optimal results when preparing skis:
- Securely fix skis in a ski vise
- Check the sidewall along the steel edge
- Guide the sidewall cutter evenly
- Remove only as much material as necessary
- Then perform filing and diamond grinding
Practical Tip from Race Service
It's better to work lightly multiple times than to remove too much material at once. The goal is not to work on the sidewall, but to expose the steel edge.
