Blackstone Cross grinder?

Hi guys,

I am looking at buying either the Liberty single w/spinner or the double w/spinner. This will be used for commercial use. Is the cross grinder an absolute necessity? What are the benefits? Any input would be much appreciated!

Cheers

Crossgrinder not necessary. Waste of money. It still boggles me why manufacturers don't have just dual finishing head machines.

It saves a ton of time if you profile skates or routinely have to fix skates that are badly rusted/pitted. Other than that, I never used mine.

Chad is dead on. Worthless for the most part. Nice to have, but not worth the money imo either

Thanks for your replies, do you find a great need for contouring? I know where I live it is not greatly advertised and I know nobody who has bothered to try it. I guess my question is is worth getting into doing contouring commercially? What are the costs associated as well as the skill level required.

cheers
