How do you sharpen hockey skates at home?

Materials Needed:

• Puck sharpener (also known as a "skate sharpener" or "grindstone")
• Bench or table
• Work gloves
• Safety glasses
• Puck or puck sharpener holder (optional)

Steps:

1. Set up the puck sharpener: Securely attach the puck sharpener to a bench or table. Make sure the blade guide is aligned with the puck sharpener's blade holder.
2. Put on safety gear: Wear work gloves and safety glasses throughout the process.
3. Place the skate in the blade guide: If using a puck, place it in the puck sharpener holder. If not, hold the skate by the blade.
4. Sharpen the skates: Apply light pressure to the skate as you move it forward and backward across the puck sharpener. Follow the recommended sharpening angle (typically 35-45 degrees).
5. Check for burrs: Remove the skate and check for any burrs or sharp edges. If present, smooth them out with a hand file or stone.
6. Finish: Wipe down the skates and store them in a dry place.

Additional Tips:

• Sharpen regularly to maintain optimal performance.
• Use a puck sharpener designed specifically for hockey skates.
• Be patient and take your time. Sharpening properly takes practice.
• If unsure, consult a professional skate sharpener.
