    I have used a few different CAG profiles have done 25-45 and 30-50 on size 272 steel. I like it better than just a stock 10ft radius. It was recently recommended to me that I try out a a triple radius of 6/8/12' so I think I am going to give that a go as my current steel is just at the stock 10ft and I am not a fan

    Bumping this one more time to see if anyone knows of a place in the US that sells the 4" wheels or do I have to go through Blackstone themself and pay for shipping from Canada?

    Skated last night and I would say my problem is fixed. I just need to keep the spinner clean. Thanks again for the help.

    I did and it was. Cleaning it seemed to do the trick. I won't skate until Sunday but I resharpened my skates and I can tell just by running my thumb over the edges that they are better. I think the problem is lack of dust collection and me not backing the spinner off far enough after dressing the wheel. I noticed when I resharpened last night that the rectangular shape came back and its just built up blade dust. I plan to get the dust collection set up very soon. I just need to take some measurements.

    I finally was able to get around to cleaning the spinner with @Monty22's suggestion of mineral spirits. If you look at my pictures and you see that rectangular shape on the spinner it took some elbow grease and more than a tooth brush to get that off it actually popped off in one chunk. My guess is that was the culprit so I will re sharpen tonight and report back.

    Okay, thanks guys. I will give cleaning it a try. I switched the wheel to a used orange one I had and I will see if that changes anything.

    Do I need a new spinner to dress the wheel? https://imgur.com/a/1hPwUfy Lately I feel like I haven't been getting the quality of sharpenings I am used to. The wheel is relatively new ruby wheel so my next thought is the spinner. I have tried cleaning it with DW40 dry lube since it doesn't attract dust but that's about it.

    Bauer skates have the My Bauer tag on the tongue

    I've used goo gone to remove the residue in the past. Then I switched to putting some baby powder on my knob and never had to deal with the residue since.

    Interested in this PVC dust collection system. If you don't mind could you share a picture or two? I have a X02 and have been thinking of ways to add some sort of dust collection to it.
  11. strosedefence34
    Yeah, I am thinking that may be the best corse of action having the shop do the first sharpening or just using an old wheel until I establish some sort of an edge. Chances are I am either going to buy steel from the shop I worked for or from JR to support MSH so I trust them to do the first sharpening.

    Thanks for the responses this will help. I remembered my other question new steel. What do you guys do about that? Since I can't cross grind it. Do you have the shop you buy it from cross grind it but don't sharpen? Have them sharpen? or do you just sharpen it and take a bunch of passes?

    I know this thread is about Flat-Bottom V but there seems to be a lot of X02 owners in here. I just recently picked one up second hand and I have a couple of questions. I have been sharpening on a double head unit blade master with the blade master spinner system for the last 5 or so years so I am not new to sharpening just to Blackstone and the X02. 1- When installing the mini spinner which side is up and which side is down? This is what the manual says "1) Slip the internal bearing in the mini spinner over the spinner screw until it contacts the spinner screw knob. Be certain to install the mini spinner so that the snap ring inside the mini spinner is visible; when the spinner screw is viewed from the threaded end." but I still don't know which side has the snap ring. Is it the side that has the hollow etched in it or not? Basically which side do I put down towards the ground when installing the etched hallow side or the other side? 2- do any of you put anything like wax on the table for a better glide? Mine is in really good shape for it being second hand. I just never had to maintain the sharpener where I worked. I just kind of showed up and did my thing. 3- there was a third but I can't think of it right now. Any other tips you X02 owners have for me? That would be awesome.

    https://imgur.com/o6Th08E Very excited about this pick up. If anyone has any tips for using it or dust collection I would appreciate it. I am used to a big double head blade master.

    Rumor has it that it is the Nexus ADV. I also heard it was suppose to make its debut All Star weekend.

    My Bauers also wrap around the tongue of my skates. I agree it is not the same amount of wrap as True skates but I think too much wrap can also me an issue.

    To build hype about the FT3
  23. strosedefence34
    Has nothing to do with the electricity bill and everything to do with having customers buying skates locally from those stores.

    I said Stallion sorry I mean Surgeon. I just looked back to my sale of them. They were the Surgeon 500 the white ones.

    I use the Quicklites and second this. Man CCM really messed up by switching things up with the current Jetspeed line. The RBZ line in my opinion was the best line they ever had and kind of wish it would have remained untouched. FWIW I was using the original STX Stallion elbows prior to the Quicklites and I found those to run short.
