ADJUSTING THE
GRINDING RING HEIGHT
To watch the How-To video, visit
sparxhockey.com/ringheight
For every pair of skates sharpened, you
must assess the height of the Grinding Ring
and adjust if necessary.
Prior to adjusting grinding ring height, it is
important that we first define an intersection
zone, where the vertical face of the blade (B)
meets the nearly horizontal face of the blade
(C).
This zone can be a curved section of blade (A)
like that shown in the figure below or in some
cases, it can be a point where surfaces (B) and
(C) meet.

When the intersection zone is a curved
surface (as shown above) the Grinding Ring
can safely initially contact the blade anywhere
in this region (A).
When the intersection zone is a point, which
is more common with skates that have been
sharpened multiples times (shown below, in
A), the first contact between the Grinding
Ring and the blade should be just below the
point.

INSPECT THE CONTACT
POINT
Use the l Left and r Right Buttons to
touch the Grinding Ring to the skate blade.
Inspect its contact point and be sure it is in
the desired position. In the graphic below
you will see an example of a contact point
that is too high (B) and too low (C). A
Grinding Ring contacting in the right zone
is shown below as A. If the Grinding Ring
is not in a desired position, follow step 3. If
the Grinding Ring is in a desired position,
skip to step 6.
If the skate blade is worn down the graphic
below shows a contact point that is too
low (B) and a Grinding Ring contacting the
blade at the proper point (A).
