  1. So I'm getting back into ice hockey after a long absence (playing inline). I took my 'older' Bauer Air 90s to get sharpened yesterday, it cost $10 and I forgot to ask what radius they did. I got to thinking about sharpening my own skates and I come across this thread. I definitely like the idea of the FBV and I don't imagine there are any places in Virginia where I can try it out. I have thoughts of getting the X01 for my skates, along with seeing of friends/ teammates want to try it (at a future point). I've never sharpened skates before, but it sounds like I will eventually get the hang of it. So, on to a few questions, forgive me for any repeats. Maybe there can be sort of a summary as reading the entire thread takes a bit. The X01 comes with 1 spinner of your choice, correct? I didn't see a place to specify this. The replacement spinners are listed in fractions of an inch and not the 100/75 type of measurement. Am I looking at the correct place? Is the Bat Gage a necessity to use this properly? It seems like it would be a good idea, but it isn't cheap (or just get the accessory package). Lube Tube vs. Fine Shine. What are the differences and why get one over the other? Semi-related , I've got these Bauer Air 90s with a Tuuk Plus blade holder. It seems like my only option if I screwed up a blade is to get a completely new blade holder, if I can find it and have it remounted. Would I be taking too big of a gamble in trying to sharpen my own skates if they are older like this? Sorry for the dumb questions, I'm probably over-thinking it. Thanks.
