He said for most people a flat base is best and that a 1 degree is hard to get by hand and can be easily messed up by a machine. He recommended a 2 degree edge angle. I believe this is the way the Stocklis come from the factory. I know that my Volkls came with a 1 degree base and 2 edge.
I've wondered why some go for a steeper fro different conditions. How does a 1 degree base dig better than a flat base? Does it depend on if you're on steeps where more extreme edge angles may occur?
