Woody's 1994-1998 Advertising Drawings
Exact blow-up of Woody's drawing.
Penetration comparison of their diamond 60 & 90 degree carbide.
The darker shaded area represents a scaled comparison showing how much steel has to
erode away to undercut the carbide. Also,
this is a scaled penetration
comparison.
1. A scaled comparison of row one's 60 degree
and row two's 60 degree carbide.
2. A comparison of row one's 90 degree and a scaled 1/8"
square carbide.
3. A scaled comparison of a new Woody's 60 degree and a
3/16" square carbide in a 1/2" host bar.
Penetration comparison of three 7/16" host bars
Woody's has used.
Penetration comparison of Woody's 1/2" flat top
to Bergstrom Skegs' 1/2" host bar with 3/16"
sq. 90 and 60 degree diamond.
Bergstrom Skegs' carbide stays sharper longer because our hardsurfacing shares more of the load and does this longer.
The distance from the bottom of the ski to the point of the carbide determines how much bite is developed, not the angle of the carbide except on glare ice. In row one, the 60 degree carbide is more aggressive. In row two, the 60 degree and the 7/16 90 degree carbides are equal except on glare ice. All 90 degree carbides will etch ice for a longer period of time because the load is shared closer to the point.

The drawings above are exact blow-up of Woody's new drawing depicting penetration of their bar compared to the competition. The perception is that their flat-top host bar provides better traction. |
|
The correct representation of the penetration of the two bars. The round bar actually provides
better penetration, |

The red shaded area of each bar represents the
amount of steel that has to erode
to undercut the carbide.
