Quiverkiller experience in Seattle? was created by kceronsky
Does anyone know any ski techs in Seattle that have experience mounting Quiverkillers?
I already have the hardware, I just need someone to mount some skis.
Thanks
Kate

I install QK's myself. I think they work well for a "tele-mount". You definately have to check the screws for tightness regularly if you're going to use inserts to mount any binding. Proski advertises that they install QK's on their website. I'd bet they do a good job on the install, but I don't have personal knowledge of that since I install my own....

FWIW: for DIY installation I like Binding Freedom inserts a little bit better. They have a slot that a bladed screwdriver fits into so you can back them out in the event that they don't thread exactly correct on the first attempt.
This is also useful for making a practice mount on a 2x4 before drilling large holes in an expensive ski and for eventually moving the inserts to a new pair of skis after the old ones are thrashed.
Slow cure epoxy is superior ( 1 hour or more ) for glueing the inserts.
West System G flex 650 epoxy is the best I've found. Unfortunately the smallest package has 8oz of epoxy, which enough for a dozen skis at least.

Add one for the Binding Freedom - the screwdriver slot is useful, though otherwise they're identical to QKs. I've installed my own when I've done it - pretty straightforward. An inexpensive drill press (or access to one) makes it even easier.

Do folks use the jig that Binding Freedom sells? Or use any old jig?

I made a jig out of 1/2" clear polycarbonate on my drill press to make drilling multiple pairs of skis easier. (I'm a cabinetmaker btw, so I don't pay people to do stuff that I can do myself)
