Engineered Tuning is a mobile nordic stonegrinding service operated by Zach Caldwell. The operation was conceived to be the most technically advanced and highest quality ski tuning service available. The heart of the shop is the Tazzari RP13-2 nordic stonegrinder - the new generation machine developed by Tazzari and Lars Svensson based on over ten years of experience at the World Cup level. One of less than twenty in the world, this is the only machine of its kind in North America and one of only two machines on the continent that was designed specifically for the delicate work on grinding nordic race skis. Every ski that is serviced is first evaluated on a flex tester designed and built in-house to proved the information necessary to make appropriate recommendations on structure and application. All of this is built into a 24 foot box truck capable of servicing local clubs and teams directly at no additional charge.
