Snowglide stands for edge tuning at the absolute highest level. This French specialist brand combines well-engineered mechanics with CBN grinding stones for those who demand the most from their skis' steel edges. Here you will find our three electric side edge sharpeners - AF-W World Cup, AF-C and Rhombus - and the stones that let you tailor the work from coarse cutting to fine polishing.
Rooted in alpine race service
Snowglide has been developing portable edge grinders since 2007 and works with several alpine national teams. Experience from ski racing shapes the range: controlled material removal, well-thought-out settings and the ability to choose the stone to match the conditions. For those who appreciate truly refined tools, this is equipment to build your edge tuning around.
Which Snowglide grinder should you choose?
AF-W World Cup - for maximum fine-tuning
AF-W World Cup is our most advanced option. Stepless side edge angle adjustment from 86 to 90°, adjustable RPM and adjustable spring pressure give you great scope to tailor the grinding work. Choose AF-W when you want full control over the details of edge preparation.
AF-C - robust construction and fixed angle settings
AF-C combines a CNC-machined aluminium housing with angle adjustment from 86 to 90° in 0.5° increments. A well-balanced choice for regular tuning in the race family or your own wax room. It uses the same 70 mm stones as the AF-W.
Rhombus - Snowglide for your own wax room
Rhombus suits the ambitious home tuner and club racer. The machine is supported on the ski and uses gravity to create the grinding pressure. It has its own series of 50 mm stones and a clear selection of three grits.
All three are supplied with a CBN grinding stone 46, 220 V power adapter, and carrying case or transport box. The machines in this category work on the side of the steel edge. The base edge is prepared separately.
The right grinding stone completes the system
First choose the stone series to match your machine, then the grit according to the work step and desired finish:
Within each series, lower numbers give a finer finish. According to Snowglide, the same number gives a finer result with Rhombus than with the AF machines. On the stone product pages, you will find help choosing the right complement to the stone already included.
