JR Boucicaut

JR, how can you be 100% sure the spinner is done? I'm noticing two of the ones I use the most spin longer now, yet still seem to be dressing the wheel. Also, reg. the Batgage, in the very beginning I noticed it takes a little practice to properly put it on the blade. Is it possible to de-calibrate it somehow (by accidentally dropping it or by messing with the two crews at the bottom (I think my empoyee did that). I also think that over time it might be loosing it's accuracy as skate blades cut into it's aluminum body. Thank you. I believe once you see a different color (basically what is under the diamond) and you start to see sparks.

Witness marks are good if you're doing the skate over and over again. For the home guys who are just sharpening their own skates, you can pretty much sharpen away because they are your skates. Unlevel sharpenings will throw off your witness marks anyway. I mostly sharpen LS2s and PITCHs - I know from memory that I have to adjust down for PITCH because it's a bit thicker than LS2.

The smaller the wheel, the more you have to dress it to get a proper shape on the wheel, thus killing the life out of your Spinners. It's cheaper to buy a new wheel than a new Spinner.
