SKATE HOLDERS FOR SSM-2

There are a number of different skate holders to choose from depending on what type you prefer and what type of skates you are going to sharpen. All holders are listed below and there is also a video sequence where you can see some of them. We also have some special constructions for the SSM-2.

NOTE that there could be discrepancies.

H-5
The classic original holder in a new shape which is small and flexible but still very stable. Weighs only 0.7 kg.
The favourite holder of many equipment managers. Can not grip skates with insufficient area between shoe and blade.

H-7
The H-7 is specially made for goalie skates. Its construction is similar to the H-5 but even smaller.
You insert the H-7 between the skate and the skate blade.

H-8
Universal holder H-8 can grip almost any skate. It has a very stable construction and weighs 2.2 kg.

H-10
The latest universal holder from SSM is the H-10. It can be used to grip practically all skates on the market.
By many considered to be very easy and flexible to use due to its construction and low weight of 1.3 kg.

H-10 S
This skate holder uses a longer jaw then the normal H-10. This means that it can grip figure skates on the "stanchions" instead. This is good on certain figure skates where you cannot grip on the skate blade.

H-10 P
Some figure skate blades are not parallel. For such cases we have developed H-10 P where the holder itself will glide on the blade support roller (instead of the skate blade doing so). This allows the hollowness to be centered. The skate blade should be fastened on the stanchions.

 

SPECIAL CONSTRUCTIONS FOR SSM-2

Profiling Addition SM-6 for SSM-2 Table Construction T-26
English Instruction Manual New manual coming soon!
Svensk Brukanvisning Svensk Brukanvisning

SSM-2/SM-6
This is a addition to new SSM-2 machines. It is used to profile the skate lengthwise by copying a suitable template (flat or radius). The SSM-2/SM-6 is a inexpensive alternative to today´s radius sharpeners. It has some limits though; it works well for a glide surface but should not be used for a profile that exceeds 12 cm in length.
Four standard templates of your choice is included and an extra skate holder (H-5 or H-10). This machine can be used as an ordinary SSM-2 as well.

SSM-T26
This is a new unit for figure skates. It uses two tables instead of a guide arm. SSM-T26 is used together with a SSM-2 to allow sharpening of all types of figure skating blades. SSM-T26 is mainly for figure skating clubs or stores specialized in figure skating.
