Grinding equipment for touring skates – optimize glide and control on the ice

To get the best possible glide, stability and control on natural ice, it is important that your touring skates are properly sharpened and well maintained . Here you will find sharpening equipment that makes it easy to keep your skates in top condition – whether you sharpen them yourself or leave them to us.

We also offer professional sharpening in our shop in Åre , where we use proven methods and equipment that provide a precise and even sharpening with a perfect radius. Perfect for beginners, experienced skaters and those who want a quick upgrade in the performance of their skates.

Why is grinding so important?

A properly sharpened splint gives you:

• better glide on all types of natural ice

• more stable riding , especially on uneven ice

• better control in turns and in varying ice conditions

• smoother power transmission

• longer life of the rails

A few degrees of error or unevenness in the steel can affect the ride feel enormously – which is why it pays to sharpen regularly.

Grinding equipment for those who want to do the job themselves

We offer a wide range of sharpening equipment adapted for touring skates:

🔹 Grinding jigs

Holds the rail firmly in place and ensures even and accurate grinding.
Perfect for those who want to grind at home with professional results.

🔹 Grindstones & whetstones

Used to fine-tune the steel and remove burrs. Available in several grit sizes for both coarse and fine grinding.

🔹 Diamond sharpening

Perfect for quick deburring and detail adjustment in the field.

🔹 Rail protection and storage

Protects the rail after grinding and prevents it from losing its sharpness.

🔹 Cleaning tools and plaster

To keep the steel clean from rust, dirt and discoloration.

We are happy to help you choose the right equipment based on your rails and ice conditions.
