Red Creek Alpine Riller: Coarse Oblique Cut

The Coarse Oblique Cut (+15°C to -5°C) is great for transformed, man-made, and wet snow. It is a step coarser than the RC-2070, though used for the same temperature range. If it's below 0 °C, use lighter pressure. If warmer, press harder. How to use: Push the riller in one direction on one side of the ski (front to back), and in the opposite direction on the other side (back to front), with the plastic guide riding against the steel edge. Maintain constant pressure—do not lift the tool during passes. Press harder for deeper structure in warm/wet conditions; use lighter pressure in cold conditions. Finish by polishing with a fine nylon brush (recommended by roto). In higher-speed events, use a warmer (coarser) rilling tool than usual. For extremely wet snow, pair with the RC-2077 2mm Linear Riller for additional water channelling. Care: The structure roller is precision-machined stainless steel—handle with care to protect the fine-groove pattern from damage. After use, clean the roller of paraffin residue with wax remover and a Red Creek ultrafine steel hand brush. Store in a dry place. Hand structure will come out of your ski bases after ironing a new layer of wax. Structure is vital in a post-fluoro waxing world.
