Can confirm that mounting metal skis with a jigarex still sucks.
Anyone have a Salomon STH2 jig I can buy?

The jigarex doesn’t clamp on to the ski very hard and also comes loose easily with pressure and vibration. Even with quick clamps holding the plates and jig to the ski it still moves(I always use these).
Never a problem with wood core skis and works great, but every time I mount a metal ski it’s a gamble and I have to be really careful and precise.

One thing I started doing with my Jrex is opening and closing the clamps several times before I really lock it down. Sometimes it feels like the gears stick a bit (since new) and I get a better grip on the ski that way. I also hold the jig to the ski while I drill just in case. Haven't had any misques yet.

Good tip on the skins. I've had good success with the jigga using this method. Set up the jigga (get feet close/slightly on sidewalls, then tighten down nobs, then tighten handles to grab ski) then lightly running the drill through all the holes leaving small dimples. Then take jigga off and measure all dimples to make sure correct. Put jigga back on and drill 1 hole in the front and insert old drill bit through jigga into hole. Then do the same for one hole in back. Now jigga locked in place and look through holes before drilling to confirm still over dimple. Has worked really well.

I use a similar method, but just use a centerhole punch to make dimples instead of drilling. Punch, take the jigga off and measure, use the center punch to recenter jigg, then drill, but still when metal is involved it sometimes doesnt go well. I’ll give the tightening method a try

Print a template on to a transparent sheet and forget all this unreliable shit. More of you guys complain about the jigarex than it's worth.
And drink some fuckin beers out there while you work. Jeebus

I just put the JigaRex on the ski, use this centerpunch to punch holes, remove the JigaRex, and drill the rest by hand for standard mounts or inserts. When I'm anal, over-tired, or over-stoned, I'll use a small bit to increase the center-punched hole before using the 3.5/4.1 bit.

PSA: Mount your own fucking skis.
Same process here, though I use calipers to check dimple measurements before drilling (they have always been good, within .5mm of perfect), and have a cheap drill press so no worries about being crooked.
I’ve never done inserts though so there is a little more wiggle room.

Ugh still annoyed at that mount.
I obviously shouldn’t care that the heel piece is slightly of center, about 3mm. Right?

If i'm going down a mount size (10mm or less) and remounting an Attack pattern with Pivots, am I going to have issues? I'd like to start swapping my attacks out, but I'm also going to down a few mm in boot size.
