Race Ski Binding Mount 10 minute edit

This video walks you through the procedure that Peak Performance Ski Shop uses to mount bindings on race skis.
This informational video will take you through the "how-to" of drilling and tapping the ski for the race plate, drilling and tapping the race plate for the binding, installing lifts for "gas pedal", mounting and adjusting the binding and final torque testing (release testing) of the binding with the Wintersteiger Drivetronic binding testing machine.

Great video. I have a pair of ~2012 RC4 Superiors, which I want to adjust to my daughter's boots. The plate will stay, but I need to drill and tap holes for the heel bindings (front has more granular set of holes). What should be the diameter of drill and tap (is it standard metric thread) for this operation?

awesome video !

Thanks for the video! It was informative and leads me to believe this is above my mom race tech pay grade and will be bringing the skis to my favorite shop 😅. All the skis have race plates with holes pre drilled but until I pull the bindings off the shorter skis I won’t know what it looked like before they were mounted. The newer RC4 SL skis have a single race plate instead of a two piece, I was hoping to pull the Z14 bindings off the SL and move them to the 180 GS skis but those have two piece plates that don’t touch and I have no clue what to do about the center screw. If I can move them then I’ll put the RC9’s on the shorter GS and the SL.
Thanks again!

Well Done

[@TeddyBeatOfficial]

are the race plates removable once you put them on

[@cashmab]

What type of glue is used!?

[@MadelnMachines]

Say you have a ski which already has bindings installed. Is it easy to add plates to your ski at a later stage if you decide you want them? Conversely is it just as easy to remove them after putting them on? Is redrilling involved in both leading to unnecessary holes in the skis? What happens with the holes?

Great video, thank you very much! I knew about "calibrater" for release retntion testing, in your video you use much more sophisticated tool. What is the name of this machine?

Wintersteiger Speedtronic. Pretty common in ski shops these days.
