It's a nice machine in that all you need to do is drop the skate in and set the number of passes. Self leveling and auto height adjustment are nice features. Pressure from the wheel is much harder than that of the SPARX machines resulting in more pronounced burrs than that of the SPARX. If you own a SPARX and have had no issues then there is really no need to switch. Just another option for those who haven't yet purchased a home sharpener. About $100 more than the 3rd generation SPARX and $250 more than the 2nd generation SPARX. It will be interesting to see how this goes for Bauer since IMO I think SPARX has a done a good job in saturating the market.

Howdy, Have fun with it! You definitely need the right personality for the whole thing, but I find reffing to be pretty rewarding overall. And no, I'm not speaking financially, thought it doesn't hurt to be paid to skate. 🙂 Mark

rebooting this as i go down the officials route - my 3 kids are aging through and out of HS hockey so looking to stay involved a bit. Fun to watch @marka go down the path a few years back.
