Great idea for binding jongs to mount on a piece of wood first, as I totally fucked up my Guardians mount. Was blown away how bad I messed it up with no booze or weed in me. Anyways, was very careful after that and mounted them dead centered with no heel slop. I noticed the toe mount shows a sliver of light between the binding and ski. I am afraid I will strip the holes if I tighten it more. I did use waterproof glue on the holes, so I hope it is ok. Thanks for the template guys.
Just used the STH template for the first time and have used the other paper templates as well. Worked out fantastic as usual. I really appreciate all the reference material in this thread and on the forum! Thanks!
call me stupid or what ever, dont know what template i should use...
I got the maker mod 9.0 ESP (see the picture -> http://thumbs1.ebaystatic.com/d/l225...BZ0YRNpv1g.jpg)
Thanks for all the help!
Also mounted some 914s for the first time on some powder boards. Went smooth, other than fucking up the brake bending. Used sone 916 brakes with a little plastic grinding on the bench.
Liv2ski, it's likely you didn't uni-bit (volcano) the holes first? Also bit depth is important with dense cores. Sorry to hear it man! Binding freedom inserts?
1) Remove bindingsQuote:

sorry to be blunt, but I didn't do a template for those because they suck. Also, because nobody volunteered the measurements.Quote:

Haven't bought the skis yet so I won't be mounting them for awhile, let me know if you want me to scan them template or something.
here's the heel plate on top of the template.

I had a similar thing going on last year when I mounted dukes to my maestros. It ended up not being an issue. The screws went into the pilot holes. I was only on those skis around ten times last year with two shorter tours. Never noticed any problems.Quote:

I can def. modify the EPF template if there is a problem. All I did to create it is to widen the standard duke holes. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they tweaked things a tiny bit when they widened it. I have to ask - are you positive that you printed with the correct print scaling?
yup, I just triple checked the scaling, it's dead on. let me know if I can do any measurements for you, I'm mounting them tonight. it's only off by about a 1/2 mil so I'll just mark out the rear holes a hair further back
Add my name to the list of thanks- mounted my Coreupt Candide Pows last night with the help of Jondrum's Tyrolia template. Everything lined up great, I started driving myself crazy measuring everything 20x, this was the first time I drilled my own skis. Went skiing on them today and I didn't die, so I guess that means I did it right. :yourock:
you know life is good when you walk into the house to the computer to search for the binding template thread and it is top and center bump....
And just in case anyone missed it...
DOUBLE CHECK YOUR PRINT SCALING
Because my brand new skis now have two mounts on them.

^^well, ya, duh.
Another successful FKS mount on a new set of boards, thanks for the valuable resource!
Bump back to the first page.
STICKY???!!!!
Finally got my Binding Freedom inserts mounted. Huge thanks to Jon and a shout out for his great customer service. They are on top of it.
FYI, I just noticed the link to griffons on your site is down.
Still hoping that someone can provide a template for a PX12 demo binding.
If anyone has a jig, this is the instruction sheet that was included...

I just test mounted my 4frnt Deadbolt 18's on a 2x4 using the Tyrolia template and it worked perfectly. I'm just waiting on my new brakes and they'll be mounted on my New Life's. Thanks for this resource! Never paying to have it done again!
Just finished mounting my $180 setup
Thanks Jondrums for the template
Thanks Birdblaster for the Rubys
Thanks Hansthums for the Barons
Putting the 2 sheets together:
Use a window and you can easily see the bsl and centerline marks, ensuring toe and heels are aligned. Note that the paper edges often don't match up. Blue painters tape works well too - it won't grab the paper until firmly pressed.

Finding centerline jig:
A small scrap of sheet good.
Attachment 131736
Put two dowels in and a hole for guiding marker. Make these in a triangle. Marker hole needs to be past midway of ski width. Less for large radius skis and more for small radius skis.
Attachment 131737
Attachment 131738
Center line marks are made towards tip and tail. Join the intersections with straight edge. Sharpie is good - easily removed with denatured alcohol.

Just another thank you for the 5th mount I have done that came out as close to perfect as I can tell. These paper templates have likely saved me at least $200. Hope I meet you sometime jondrums, as the beers are on me:yourock:
Just saw this. I am always very careful to trim the volcanos off my top sheets, when I drill the holes.. Odd thing I noticed when I took some bindings off some skis I sold, the holes had volcanos on them again. I guess from when I put the screws in??? I press down hard when tighten the screws, but I guess they still volcano a tad because I don't use a unibit.Quote:
