What are you looking to accomplish?

A dial caliper is essential if you're going to be tweaking your fin settings. That's definitely the first tool to get.

familiarize yourself with how to adjust your fin and measure it: http://www.proskicoach.com/gear/fin_measurement

There are a few tools out there like the slot caliper or ez fin tool that attempt to make the fin measurement process easier by changing the way you measure. personally i dont like these tools because they give you different measurements than what you would have if you just learned the right way to measure with a dial caliper.... slapping a bandaid on the problem doesnt fix it. The dial caliper can be consistent if you use it in the right way (see above article).

The Finamajig is a tool that allows you to set and save settings on your fin for quick calibration in the future. If your fin is moved you can get it within .010" using the finamajig. This degree of accuracy is good enough for most skiers... but to optimize fin settings you still need to use a dial caliper, and learn how to use it correctly. The Finamajig really comes in handy when you're setting up a ski for the first time and want to use your old settings. Also, later on this year we'll be coming out with FinamaJig Modules which you may purchase with specific recommended settings for you ski. The modules will fit right into the adjustable jig. So this would be the easiest way to calibrate your ski to a stock or otherwise recommended setting.

t8skier,

I've got a very simple solution for your dft issue(s).   I manufacture a little gizmo that gives very accurate and repeatable dft measurements using your existing calipers, and it fits easily into your caliper box.  It's very easy to use, durable and waterproof, and - since it's my own unique invention - has never been seen outside of a very small group of trusted associates.

I'll send you one for free, along with instructions for use, if you become a"Power User" of this website.  It's really easy to do (just follow the link at the top of this page)-  and is completely affordable at $1 per week.  This offer is good for the next four days (through Wednesday), after which I'll be out of town for a while.

So become a Power User before Wednesday - email me your mailing address after you do that - and I'll send you a tool that will solve all your dft problems at no additional cost to you.

I am an owner of an EZFinTool and have suggested it to other friends who have bought it.  My daughter bought it for me as a present.  Thanks Terry!

I purchased the ezfintool.  Very easy and accurate tool.  If it fell in the lake, I would have to have another!
