The Swix Helium Vise is a two piece lightweight economy ski vise that gives you two angles for side edge positions, set at 60 and 90 degrees. With the 60 degree side edge you will have better control for side edgework. If you want crisp sharp edges set the Helium Vise to 90 degrees. The Helium Vise is for use on freeride and alpine skis and is based upon rubber friction. Best of all the Swix Helium Vise is lightweight and compact.

This is a great set of vises for waxing, sharpening edges, and the grip is very secure. I've waxed skis on these and the setup was simple but secure. It neve came loose and once I was done it was a simple removal as well. You can also set your skis/snowboards at an angle for easy edge sharpening. Swix has been making alpine products for decades and it shows with the quality of these vises.Hide
A: This vice should work just fine with a ski of that waist width. The rubber padding prevents the skis from slipping unless they are wet. Waist width is not an issue for this vice.

Q: At the expense of sounding really really stupid...is this vice used just for edging or can it also be used for waxing...I may have bought the wrong vice.
A: This vice can be used for both edges and waxing without an issue. The only stupid questions are the ones never asked, or asked repeatedly once you know the answer.

Q: can these be used on a snowboard as well? If not, are there any vises out that can be used on both?
