<p>A device (20) for movement along the bottom surface (22B) of a snow ski (22) to grind a varying bevel in the bottom edges of the ski in direct relation to the width of the ski. The device utilizes a pair of grinding wheels (34), which are adapted to engage the bottom surface (26B) of the metal edges on a ski and grind a predetermined, but variable, angle on the metal edges (26) as the device is moved along the length of the ski. The device includes an operative mechanism (36) adapted to sense the side cut or width of the ski as the device is moved along the length of the ski and, in direct response to the width of the ski, vary the angle of the grinding wheels so that the angle of bevel placed on the metal edges varies in direct relation to the width of the ski. The operative mechanism effects a greater angle of bevel (i.e., a larger angle between the bottom surface of the metal edge and the bottom surface of the ski) at wider locations along the length of the ski so that a greater bevel is established near the leading and trailing ends of the ski where the ski is the widest.</p> |
