What are the construction/feature differences between the Senior and Junior RX3 sticks? How about the Junior lies? Are they different than what's listed on the chart?

I finally ran into a SPARX machine last week at Lettermen's in Blaine MN. That's right by the famous Super Rink. They had two machines going as well as the hand sharpeners. I told them I wanted the SPARX machine to do our skates. The worker put one skate in each machine and they were done in a couple of minutes. I did not count the passes. When they were done they took them out and threw them on the counter, no edge checker or hdi. The finish looked great but there were a few burrs left and one of the edges was way off. Not good. My point here is that this shop can't be making a very good name for the SPARX machine.

I thought that you should have LS3 profiled before use. Just what I had always heard because of the toe shape. Maybe LS4 is closer to Step out of the box?

Thanks. A guy wouldn't know that just going to their website.

How do you get the sharpener for $799? I have it in my cart on the website and it's $899 with one wheel.

I don't care if you "push hard" on the wheel or not. The edges are even and the blade width does not change so of course the depth will change with the radius.

No, that is what I'm talking about. The depth will determine that radius. My sharpener, when discussing roh, always speaks in thousandths of an inch.

Yes. Hollow Depth Indicator. Thank you.

What tool? So when you put a 1/2" wheel on how do you know it's giving you a 1/2" hollow?

Wild starting at least three rookies. New guy Greenway should play in place of Ennis. Soucy, who's played 3 NHL games will be paired with Spurgeon on D according to Michael Russo. Trial by fire!

Can that happen so easily? I have a good sharpener just down the street but all I can check at home is edge evenness. How would a person even know how much his profile has changed?

Still pretty early. You'd think the manufacturer would have set a couple of them up to run indefinitely to find the weak points. I remember Honda used to test motorcycle engines by running them at redline for 24 hours at a time.

Do you guys know when the Nexus skate line will be refreshed? I believed the last update was June 2016?

That's from your SPARX machine?

Mine's good. Unless somethings bent I don't see how it could be inaccurate.

I never noticed that. So they just ignore the exchange rate? Or it's a Canadian discount?

Wow, a Ryan Stoa sighting.

Thanks.

Oh thanks. Just looked on the website. For that price, you'd think it would be made in the USA. I bought one of these for $25. It works fine. http://www.ebay.com/itm/172349229987?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

How about these? http://www.ebay.com/itm/331970300009?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT http://www.ebay.com/itm/172349229987?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Looks like that second one works with two magnets. Not sure about that.

Ya, I love doing things like this and I'm very detailed (anal) orientated. But our local shop charges $35 for eight sharpenings and I only have one player in the household.
