Ving Upp Jig

Skating with the so called Ski Blades or Nordic Blades is rapidly gaining popularity. Both in the USA and Europe.
These long blades need, just like the traditional speed blades, maintenance. Sharpening and honing. This to enjoy the hours
spend on the ice even more.
Zandstra Sports has developed a special sharpening jig for the Nordic blades. The jig is called VING UPP. It has a unique system
which will bring the runners in a proper position for sharpening.
All types, models, brands with or without bindings fit in the UPP.
By this we mean Rottefella (NNN) and Salomon (SNS) both with XC and BC bindings.
With the traditional jigs the steel runners are clamped (locked). WIth the UPP the frame is clamped against the upper part of
the UPP. This is being done by turning the bolt (A) which will move the bar (B) upp. The bolt should be turned firm but not too
firm.
The most important specs of the UPP are.
* Compact
* Low weight
* Blades are being clamped easy and firm
* Easy to carry
* The bindings can stay on the frame. This is an important advantage.
* Few parts. The UPP is a one piece aluminium
* Also skates with just a few mm of steel left can be sharpened
* All sizes fit in the UPP
* 8 Bumptons makes the UPP nonski
