Cross grinding is a process used by skate sharpeners to flatten the entire skate blade, removing imperfections like nicks, rust, and unevenness. It is often the first step for new or damaged blades, acting as a "reset" before a standard sharpening is performed to create the desired hollow. It's an essential part of skate sharpening, creating a clean, flat surface to work from.
