Abstract:
An improved contouring tool, advantageously used as a skate sharpening machine, comprising means to vary the contour of the skating blade with respect to its longitudinal arc and also with respect to the centering of the arc. The sharpener of the invention also advantageously incorporates a novel low-friction surface over which a skateholder may be manipulated and a novel skate positioning and bent-blade detection means.
