An edge sharpener restores the side edge and the base edge of the ski. The Chatex catalogue includes Reichmann and R.off.B machines, from the compact belt edge sharpener to the automatic ceramic machine.
Edge sharpeners differ by their abrasion technology and their level of automation.
First check the angle range: the DTS-U II Race sets the side angle from 86° to 90° and the base edge from 0° to 2°. To understand what these angles change on the ski, read our guide to edge angle.
Volume matters too: the DTS-U II Race sheet gives a full cycle of about 30 seconds, and the robots build an edge sharpener into an automatic process. For a detailed comparison, see the Reichmann comparison.
The machines come from Reichmann, whose exclusive distributor in France is Chatex, and from R.off.B for the Ecoline range. Sharpening consumables (stones, gummi stones, edge guides) are in the edge tools.

The KSM sheet presents it as ideal for small workshops, thanks to its small footprint. The R.off.B edge sharpeners of the Ecoline range plug into 220 V.
Several models do: the DTS-U II Race handles skis and snowboards, the KSM has an optional double snowboard support roller. Check the sheet of each machine.
