Hex

Ski & Snowboard Edge Tuner

Tools4Boards

Hex is an innovative solution for sharpening ski and snowboard side and base edges simultaneously at one of 36 edge angle combinations. Simply by sliding, the edges are smoothed quickly and evenly, and irregularities are eliminated. For precise results, Hex combines circular and linear grinding. The roto puck with precision bearings automatically rotates to flatten the side edge quickly and evenly, while at the same time the base edge is linearly ground to remove burrs and smooth the cutting edge. A file clamp and file are used in place of the roto puck to trim the sidewall.
