Default Chinook and Drop wedge wedging
What's the degree of the wedge on these two? The chinook looks like the evo which IIRC is 17.6 degrees, but I'm not sure,

And the DW looks like it only has a very slight wedge, can some one clear it up for both of these?

the evo is +14-16, it turns +15-15 when you stand on it.
yes I'm sure, measured it myself and I'm not the only one to get those numbers.

Can't help with the others sorry.

Exactly what sort of jigs and instruments do you use that enable you to measure the boards angle to greater than one degree of accuracy while someone is standing on it?
