Using a Base Bevel Guide
Base bevel is usually set once and maintained lightly, since repeated filing increases the angle. Use light pressure with stones for maintenance and save files for re-setting the bevel.
Why a Fixed Base Bevel Guide
Base bevel controls how quickly a ski engages the snow, and most skiers set it once and maintain it rather than changing it often. A fixed-angle guide makes that maintenance repeatable: you get the same angle every time without adjusting anything. Keep base work light and infrequent, and do most of your sharpening on the side edge.
