Combination vs Triple vs Quad Radius

Recommended Posts

I usually get a combination radius on my skates but recently have been hearing a lot about triple and quad radius profiles. Has anyone ever used these options? I don't really understand how they would do a triple or quad. Can someone provide input on this? I looked a bit online and most of the information I found was not clear or very confusing. The stuff I did read that made sense was very "sales focused" and didn't really go into the technology or how the profile is set.

What did you want to know about it specifically?  A quad radius is usually done on an automated machine like the Pro Sharp.  Contouring done by hand on lets say, a Blademaster machine, is usually just a single or a double depending on which radius bar you use.  Blademaster can make custom radius bars as well but I've never seen a quad for that machine.

I guess I am trying to understand specifically how one creates a triple or quad radius/profile. What would this look like on a blade radius/profile? Why would one get a triple or a quad? As I mentioned, I usually get a combination radius/profile, which is quite common but have never seen a triple or a quad before. I'm not even sure what I would look for to tell. lol
