What wheel to sharpen my HyperGlide blades?

Recommended Posts

 

I have built an at home sharpener (for less than $150) and I want to try it out. I will be using it on old steel first of course, but I was wondering what color wheel would be the best in the long run for only doing my own blades in either 5/8 or 3/4. . 

 

When I get it all put together I may do a build thread. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, but I have yet to finish the dressing system, or the holder, which I may buy if I can find one at a good price.

I would start it now, but there are so many haters.

 

I'm not building to compete with a Wissota, or Blackstone, or Sparx. I'm building it for fun, and hopefully, with enough tweaking I could get usable sharpenings from it.

My shop uses white Howie's wheels and they seem to last pretty long as put a nice edge on both figure and hockey skates.  Is it a 1, 2, or 3 head system?

It's a dozen robotic heads. It walks over, takes the skates off your feet, and sharpens them in 3x3 different directions. Also gives you a foot massage while you wait. hahaha. JK. It's a very simple 1 head machine. 

 

Thanks for the info!
