Dynafit Mounting

dukes are more difficult to mount imo.
do a trial mount on a 2x4, get it dialed in good then make a template off that.
drill holes just right, apply glue, screw in dynafiddles with direct downward presure.
not too tight you don't want a spinner.
easy and sets you free

Thats what I'm talkin about. Why have I never thought of this?

Thanks for the input guys, I'm prolly going to try this, I'm in Yakima so really Seattle shops are the closest for me.

I'm a big fan of either a drill stop, or better, an actual ski drill bit. They're cheap compared to a mount at a shop, and they keep you from drilling through your skis...

If mounting with a paper template, I check and recheck centering obsessively.

Happy mounting!

I'll save you some searching. Any more questions, ask away. Lots of help on this board.

Not sure what happened to Dynafit for Dummies I

I refuse to pay a shop 50-75$ to mount bindings.  I am an idiot and I have successfully mounted two sets of Dynafits.  I just bought a new spring setup and I plan on mounting those myself as well.  Wild snow and this thread guided my through:

I highly recommend the paper technique to find the center of the ski and I also used a transparency instead of paper for the template.  Also, use a punch before drilling.  It keeps the drill bit from slipping.  Good luck!

Could be a good move to drill the threads out of the toepiece plastic baseplate. Those gave me some trouble. Might be worth to read around on tgr.com too.

This is all good shit, Thanks for your guys help, I'm going to destroy a 2x4 first but think I'll tackle this myself.
