The lightweight portable skate sharpening machine (SSM-2) has its origin in the late 60’s and early 70’s, when it was constructed by Rune Gustavsson, then at Osmund Fabriks AB in Uppsala, Sweden. The original SSM machine (the SSM-2) has been improved through the years and used by several Olympic and Professional teams and over 25,000 other users. The current version of the small compact machine is SSM-3.
