The Swix T80 Steel Scraper is a heavy-duty tool designed for critical base preparation. Unlike plexi scrapers used for wax removal, the steel scraper is specifically used for scraping down the ski base before laying a new structure. It is primarily used to remove hardened, oxidized base material, which is essential before applying repair material (P-tex) or when restoring an old, tired base that no longer accepts wax effectively. Product Type: Tuning Tool (Steel Scraper) Model Name: T80 Steel scraper Material: Steel Dimensions: 125 mm x 62 mm x 1 mm Best Use: Scraping down and flattening ski base Application: Base restoration before laying new structure.
