sharpening can be different at any number of places it is hard to get a good at some places.

they go like this from sharpest( more depth in the hollow) to less depth

5/16,3/8,7/16,1/2,9/16,5/8,3/4

those are the normal skater sharpenings that people ask for at my shop

If you bring in your skates into the shop and don't specify a hollow number what will the shapener typically give you?

The numbers are Radius of Hollow (ROH ) numbers.

Typical numbers range from 1/4" deepest to 1" shallowest for a player.

Just add fractions of 1/32th between these extremes to come up with all the possible tangible settings.
