I'm not a fan of automatic sharpeners .there is alot of plastic in the machine. Skate sharpening is easy to learn. I can get you a professional quality sharpener for $ 1850 with travel case ,edge checker, honing stone,took kit . It weighs 65 pounds in the case . The thing to do is have your close hockey friends go in on it . 8 friends go in on it and it pays for itself fast . And when you sharpen your own it only takes a couple of passes to sharpen them . I use the machine as a professional SSM2

The VH looks like a fantastic skate . I wish I could afford them now. Going to try for February .

They are good machines.

What machine do you have?

Are you sharpening your own skates? If so . When your skate is in the holder . Lightly kiss the wheel on the toe and the heal. A) the marks should look the same. B) a centered skate will leave a rectangular mark . If it's off the mark will become a trapezoid . If so the wide part is hitting the wheel first. Wide part on top the blade has to be risen the opposite lowered. Double check me here for I extremely dyslexic and often have things correct in my mind and say opposite. . Blade checker if you're paying to have your skates sharpened 1) take a sharpy and run it on the blade bottom. If the grind is off it will be clear . 2) a dime works as good as any blade checker . I do professional sharpening and blade profiling. I use The SSM2 sharpener. I used the machine for awhile then I loved the machine so much I became a Rep for sales and service of the brand. The North American distributor has taken me on to cover sales and service. The machine is built and engineered in Sweden. I really love the machine. The price point is very worth the investment for a hockey families..more importantly you control the quality.
