Why use a blade groove tester?

The position and depth of the blade groove (hollow) directly impact a skater’s glide, grip, and edge transitions. A misaligned or inconsistent hollow can cause instability, uneven turns, and reduced performance. The Parduc T5 ensures your groove is perfectly centered and symmetrical – every time you sharpen.

• Competitive hockey and figure skaters

• Professional sharpening services and pro shops
• Skaters seeking elite-level performance consistency

Sharpen smarter – test, adjust, and perfect every edge.

    

Parduc T5 – Precision blade groove tester for skate sharpening: essential for ice hockey, figure skating, and all skating sport enthusiasts & professionals!

Do you demand absolute perfection for every skate blade, ensuring flawless straightness and groove centering? The Parduc T5 blade groove tester is an indispensable tool for demanding enthusiasts and professionals in ice hockey, figure skating, and all skating sports. This visual inspection device guarantees your skaters always receive an optimal sharpening, maximizing their performance and enjoyment on the ice.

Why is the Parduc T5 an essential addition to your sharpening arsenal?

• Accurate groove centering Inspection: The Parduc T5 is specifically designed for the visual inspection of sharpening groove straightness and its centering relative to the skate blade. Ensure both edges of your skate blade are always perfectly balanced.
• Wide profile compatibility: This tester is suitable for a wide range of hollow sharpenings (r5…r30mm), making it a versatile tool for various skating styles and preferences.
• From hobbyist to professional: Whether you're a home sharpener or providing professional sharpening services, the Parduc T5 perfectly fits your needs.
• Detect even minor deviations: The device can detect even very small deviations in the sharpening groove's location. A deviation of just one line spacing on the inspection scale indicates a 0.02mm height difference between the blade edges (when inspecting a 2.9mm thick blade). This allows for extremely precise correction.
• User-friendly operation: The measuring device is simply placed on the sharpened skate blade, guiding itself from the blade's edge. A magnetic indicator plate is then positioned to swing on the sharpened blade. The indicator swings on the ridges of the blade's groove, and the alignment of the indicator and the inspection scale is observed.
• Comprehensive package: The package includes 1 inspection scale and 1 indicator angle, so you can begin precise inspections immediately.
