Apparatus for sharpening/bevelling of ski and snowboard edges incorporating a variable angle adjustment and clamping mechanism

摘要

Apparatus for the sharpening and/or bevelling of either a ski or snowboard side edge or base edge includes a guide for clamping a file therein and adapted to be held by a hand of a person using the guide and moved lengthwise along an edge portion of a ski or snowboard while in contact with a surface thereof. A variable angle adjustment mechanism establishes an almost unlimited number of selected angular orientations of the guide and the file in a plane transverse to the lengthwise direction when positioned at the side or base edge portion of the ski or snowboard while in contact with the surface thereof. The variable angle adjustment mechanism is integrated with a file clamping mechanism in the guide.
