I posted this setup a few years ago and it has survived many inbounds and touring days.

This is the 'Sollyfit Plum' or Marker Lord swappable set that works with one pair of boots. The ultimate...

I like that it has pins to measure the 'real' BSL instead of whatever might be misprinted on the boot.

That's a sweet looking tool. Official Dynafit jigs are $$$. If I find myself doing more standard woodscrew/glue mounts for friends and family, I'm going to get one.

Finished the dual mount tonight. Thanks everyone for your input!

Cleanest most accurate one I've ever done and easy to swap, with no boot sole switching. (Unless I want to.)

I didn't like the...

1. 9 is actually perfect for the STH2 WTR 13 -- it's exactly in the middle of the adjustment range of 5 to 13.

2. Is it this glue? http://www.tognar.com/roo-ski-binding-glue-2oz/
I've never...

This is the epoxy I use:

Wide temperature range, 3 hour set time, 7 DAY cure time. If you're doing a dual mount like me, it takes a minimum of two weeks. :)

Okay what about...



A high end tour boot like a Vulcan / Mercury / Maestrale RS that supposedly compromises nothing on the up or down.
A fat do it all fun resort / powder ski that is light...

This particular addition to the thread could be titled: PSA: Make your own fucking tech bindings and templates.

TL;DR? Just click the picture. I'm doing one of these dual insert mounts, with the...

That's what I do, but those fuckers have a tendency to move up the bit / loosen the more you drill, especially if the set screw isn't super tight. (Use loctite!)
One other poster here suggested...

The point is not to replace epoxy with CA, you still need epoxy. The strength of the epoxy bond is only as good as the wood threads that its screwed into.

Wood is a porous material that absorbs...

I'm sure you'll be fine. :) I'm sure we've all seen the pull out test of these things and they're not going to come out unless you go all Hulk on tightening the screws and twist the thing. (Like I...

Don't you love that? At first my friends were like 'Dude, you'll fuck it up, take it to a shop!'

On the hill they are like 'did you rip your binding out yet?'

A week later they are at your...

I've found the templates to be accurate and so have others, so I am surprised that they would be off. Then again I've only drilled for FKS/Pivot, DynaFit Radical and Large first gen Dukes, so it's...

I wouldn't use a drill press, too easy to fuck up and drill too deep, off center etc... plus you have to support the ends of the ski while doing so and deal with the curved top sheet surface etc......

Hell yeah, and use a tech boot in one and a normal boot in the other.

Thirty-two fucking holes and solid 2 years later. No shop would do this for you without charging an arm and a leg and/or fucking it up. Practice on a 2x4.

I'm just fucking with you. I installed them myself w/binding inserts and flipped the toe around for the photo. The heel is actually installed properly, just spun around. I saw some advertising photo...

Shop rat was stoned when he mounted these for me. I'm really pissed.

What do you think, shop owes me new skis?
