Questions & Answers

How to use SkateMate Pro Complete?
To best understand how SkateMate works, watch the videos we’ve put here under the Grinding School.

There are also written instructions available for download.

How long can you grind without changing the grinding wheel?
This depends on a couple of different things. How often you grind and how worn your rails are. If you have a good basic grind and still ride often, then one grinding roller will last a long time. You rotate it from time to time so that you use all the grinding surface on the roller.

If you have very worn rails or ski mostly on natural ice – use the coarser grinding roll with 100 grit. It provides a coarse grinding that can then be supplemented with the finer grinding paper (120-grain) for a razor-sharp sharpness.

How hard should you press the SkateMate against the rail?
This is where a bit of feel comes in, but the important thing is – don’t push too hard! It is the flexible sanding cylinder that should do the job, not muscle power! A tip is to draw a black ink line in the scallop – then it should take about 30 seconds to sand off all the color. And then the rail is sanded!

Do I need to buy additional accessories?
Description. SkateMate Pro Complete is a complete package that contains EVERYTHING needed to sharpen ALL types of skates. Those who skate recreationally can cope with 2-3 seasons with the same grinding rolls. Those who train and play matches may need an extra grinding package – therefore we offer this in the shop with -28% discount.

Why are different types of grinding details included?
SkateMate is designed as a slip that fits all types of skates. You should never have to have more than one skate in a family if you have different types of skates. All parts have a purpose. There are large rollers with different coarseness, there are small rollers to fit smaller ROH and there is a flat grinding detail with diamond strip for those who do not bowl grind their rails. This detail also serves as a holder for the smaller grinding roll.

What is the cost of shipping?
A package of SkateMate Pro Complete is shipped free of charge worldwide.

When purchasing a loose sanding package, a shipping fee of 39: – will be added as you achieve free shipping when purchasing over 300: –
