Radius and Gliding surface profiling
1. Choose radius- or gliding surface template.
2. Mark on the skate the desired middle of the ice surface contact.
3. Put the skate into the skate-holder and make sure that the skate lies on both
rolls. Adjust the middle mark on the skate to be in line with the black pivot point
on the machine.
Important: Check the thickness of the blade and the hollow radius. Also make
sure that the skate-holder is centered sideways over the two rolls so that the pivot
point mark is in the middle of the two rolls. The heel of the blade has to be always
towards the grinding wheel.
4. Put in the contouring template and make sure that the template is in the correct
position and lying in the top of the guide-roll (see pictures 10 & 11). Measure the
thickness of the blade and adjust the blade thickness nut to right thickness (See
the picture 1). Remember to measure both blades because there are sometimes
differences between the blades even in the same pair! HTC-tool is perfect for
this!

5. Push the "PROFILE"-button once. First yellow light will start to flash.
Push the "SHARP"-button - now the skate runs without grinding. Push

again and the skate-holder will turn back. Now you can see which part of the
blade the machine is profiling.
6. Gliding surface profiling. Adjust the template guide-roll height so that the
grinding-wheel just about reaches the part of the skate that you will profile and so
that about 50% of the blade will be profiled. When the guide-roll is rotating the
machine is not profiling. Guide-roll not rotating = profiling. When the guide-roll

rotates over the whole template the skate has been profiled from the whole
(chosen) length of the blade.
7. Radius profiling. Choose a radius template and put the template into the right
position. Adjust the guide-roll so that it will profile the desired surface of the
blade. At least 50% of the blade from the middle should be profiled. Follow the
points 5 & 6 to see how the grinding wheel will run against the blade.
