Hope it works out! Looks like some quality work you did on them!

From the pictures, it looks good. How does it look from behind? (Holding the skate in front of you, heel facing you)
Is your chassis bent? You may just need to add a small shim on the inside holes of the chassis if you are looking to level them out a bit

The skates were bought used to begin with so the ankle padding is mushed in, eyelets, stitching. I am most likely going to restore them for practice and hobby. I locked down the foam that can be used (antimicrobial / moisture retardant). , Eyeles are easy, and as for the leather around the eyelets.. the one used now is some cheap faux leather.. I will not have an issue finding something dope to cut out and stitch.. Alligator? Would deff be some pimp ass skates.
12K because I felt it would be tough and if I was to line the skate boot it would deff be 3K ..but skate boots are made from a thermoplastic it is not CF ..I believe.
All this talk makes me want to makes me want to make a stick.. or at least mod one up to be on steroids...
And here comes the reality of the situation... you are right.. but for hobby and learning a new skill it would be a perfect candidate.
Yea your skates have a thermoplastic, but skates like the APX2/MX3/etc that have a CF sole use 3K
Was just curious, as I have never worked with 12K
Alligator would be sick!!
I am the same way, you should do it just because you can. You already have a backup pair, so why not go for it?!
Post pics of the aftermath...

What kind of damage is going on with your skates? And why 12K? Most CF found in the soles of skates is 3K I believe. Also, what kind of resin would you use with the CF?
As for the X7.0, they are a great skate. Can't go wrong with them!

Flip the skate upside-down, near the toe on the inside edge side, there should be a 3 digit number stamped in the holder (Will be same color as holder). This is the size runner you need
-
All of us retailers should carry them. Should be a size 221 runner. Look for CCM Reebok Performance Stainless Steel Runners
-
hopefully, this is the right place to ask this. Looking for a replacement steel for Reebok 5ks (size 2) for my son. Should be easy to replace as DIY or should I just go to a local hockey store to get it done?
As long as they have the E-Pro holders, should be a matter of replacing two screws and that's it

Depends what you are using the sharpener for. Personal use, shop, etc
Also, how advanced do you want it to be? Just the basics, most common things, or everything?
Lastly, how tight is your budget? Can narrow out a few things if needed
Congrats on getting in to the sharpening world :]

Play around with a couple different setups, you'll be amazed at how much of a different it makes!
Tough to say what exactly you need without you and the skates right in front of me, but perhaps you just need some more lift on the inside of that skate, or some orthotics if it is your feet that are the issue
