Finished those cast mounts. It was a little intimidating to do, but careful work with the paper templates got me there.
I'm stoked to move on from the dynafits that were previously on the Rens--really looking forward to skiing them inbounds this season.
Also, the gold FKS 155s and the owls are a match made in heaven!

Any advice for reusing holes?

Rotate the screw backward in the hole and you might feel it drop into the old threads insted of letting the screw cut new threads (weakens the hole) & use slow set epoxy
this was^^ posted on the last page 9 posts previous so reading the thread is another piece of good adviceLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

I've been mounting my own skis for a few years now thanks in large part to this thread. I just wanted to send a public thank you to rfconfroy for his 3d printable templates/drill guides.
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4668734
These really take any guess work out of the mount process and combined with the ski center tool he suggested, (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4744005) made it quick and easy.
Most of the guides are set up to be used with a regular drill bit and a stop but he made a template for my look pivot mount with 8mm holes to use the svst dill bits. 8mm holes are also the right diameter for my wintersteiger tap ensuring a perfect veritcal when drilling and tapping.

re: demo holes vs remounting
If you have questions about mount point, invest and resuse the demos.
If you are confident that you know where you want to mount, I'd plug the holes and drill for the bindings you have on hand.
As long as there isn't significant overlap with holes you will be all set.

PSA: Mount your own fucking skis.
I used jigarex plates for a few years before I found the STH2/Warden jig. It does make mounting Salomons stupid easy. I cannot remember if I bought it here or on eBay. It certainly felt like finding the Golden Ticket.

A 3d printed setup might do just fine.
I've got a crude one for Attack demo's, and it sure does speed things up. (You still have to center it, which a shop jig will do for you, but with a decent centering tool, that's also easy.)
I still use epoxy on every mount, so that takes extra time. (And usually I'm filling the old holes with skewers+epoxy, so more time yet.)
But I think the 3d printed jig makes it way less fussy.
I think @rfconroy was tinkering with a 3d printed jig - and IMO, that direction seems the most ideal.
Hey @rfconroy is that idea still around kicking, or is it kind of practically dead?

mounted two pair of fucking skis this week, R11s for my buddy, and my new Woodsman for me.
Bandit Man: whats the part # for the sth2/warden jig? I'd spring for one if I ever thought I could find one.

Question on Pivot template. I usually mount freehand but I can borrow a shop jig and an older manual ~ circa 2010 says close down the jig plate 5mm shorter than BSL. So does this mean for a 315 I set the jig for 310 and that lands me on the middle adjustment mark on the heel? If I want to land on the longest mark, I'd set the jig for 315?

Yes. Here's my method as you want the boot centre on the mount line as well: Put the boot in the jig to set the jig length. Drill the toe holes only. Shorten jig by 5mm. Align the jig on the ski with the toe holes. Drill the heel holes. This'll give you the correct forward pressure adjustment with the heel length in the middle of the centre knurl and the boot centre on the mount line.

I was doing the simplified drill jigs only, that center mark jig that someone found on thingiverse makes creating your center mark incredibly straightforward. I cant remember who the other mag was that was working on the specific printed adjustable jig. IMO, unless you're doing a bunch of mounts with the same binding all the time, its probably not really worth it.
For anyone interested, if I already have a template/drill jig uploaded on thingverse, and you need a specific BSL or hole size shoot me a PM/DM and I should be able to adjust a model pretty easily."Poop is funny" - Frank Reynolds
