The Two ProSharp Models We Specialise In
ProSharp AS2001 Allpro-SC – the reliable workhorse
The AS2001 Allpro-SC is easy to use, cheap to maintain and built to function for many years. It is the machine for a fixed sharpening place: the counter of a pro shop, the service room of an ice rink or the equipment room of a club. Staff learn to use it quickly, and it delivers consistent edges day after day.
Because the AS2001 is often the main – or only – sharpener of a business, it tends to run for long hours, sometimes from opening to closing time. Its condition has a direct effect on how many skates can be sharpened and how good the results are. Regular maintenance and quick repairs keep it working the way it was designed to.

ProSharp AS1001 Portable-SC – precise sharpening on the move
The AS1001 Portable-SC brings accurate and reliable sharpening wherever the team goes: away games, tournaments, training camps or a rink without its own sharpening station. For equipment managers, it means players never have to play on dull or damaged edges just because they are away from home.
A machine that travels lives a harder life than one that stays in one place. It is packed, carried, loaded into vehicles and set up on different surfaces again and again. Over time this affects alignment, mounting and connections. Regular checks keep the AS1001 as precise on the road as it was on the first day. ProSharp AS1001 Portable-SC service and repair
AS2001 or AS1001 – Which One Fits Your Needs?
Both models produce precise skate edges. The difference lies in where and how they are used:
- Place of use: the AS2001 Allpro-SC works best in a fixed location; the AS1001 Portable-SC is designed to travel.
- Typical users: the AS2001 suits pro shops, rinks, webshops and clubs with their own sharpening room; the AS1001 suits teams, equipment managers and coaches on the road.
- Typical workload: the AS2001 often handles a high, steady volume; the AS1001 handles peaks – a whole team before a game or during a tournament.
- Main wear factors: for the AS2001, long running hours and grinding dust; for the AS1001, transport, repeated setup and changing conditions.
- Service focus: for the AS2001, wear parts, dust extraction and drive; for the AS1001, alignment, mounting and connections.
Many clubs and organisations use both: an AS2001 at home and an AS1001 for away games. Whatever combination you have, we can service all of your ProSharp machines in one place – which also makes it easier to plan maintenance before the season starts.
What We Do for Your ProSharp Machine
For both models, we offer the complete range of services from one specialist workshop:
Repair and full service
From a small adjustment to a complete overhaul. Every repair starts with a condition assessment of the whole machine, followed by an individual quote. We only start once you have approved it, and we test the machine before it is returned. Sharpening machine repair and full service
Spare parts
We keep our own supply of spare parts for the AS2001 and the AS1001. This means repairs can start without waiting for deliveries – and customers who maintain their own machines can order the parts they need directly from us. ProSharp spare parts
Maintenance
Regular maintenance extends the life and reliability of both models and keeps edge quality consistent. For an AS2001 that runs every day and an AS1001 that travels every weekend, it is the most effective way to avoid breakdowns at the worst possible moment. Sharpener maintenance
What Wears Out on a ProSharp Sharpener?
Every skate sharpener has parts that wear with use. Knowing them helps you notice problems early and plan maintenance before they become expensive:
- The grinding wheel – it wears with every pair of skates and must be dressed and eventually replaced to keep the right profile.
- The skate holder – it must hold the blade straight and firmly; play or misalignment shows up directly in the edge.
- Bearings and the drive – long running hours slowly wear moving parts, often announced by noise or vibration.
- The dust extraction system – filters and hoses clog over time, reducing suction and letting dust into the machine.
- Switches, cables and connections – especially on a portable machine that is moved and plugged in often.
None of these need to mean the end of a machine. ProSharp sharpeners are designed so that their components can be serviced and replaced individually – which is exactly why a well-maintained machine can serve you for so many years.
How to Keep Your ProSharp Working for Years
A few simple habits make a big difference to how long your machine lasts and how good its results are:
- Keep it clean. Remove grinding dust regularly and empty or check the dust extraction as recommended.
- Watch the results. If edges start to differ from skate to skate, have the machine checked before the problem grows.
- Listen to it. New noises or vibration are usually the first sign that something is wearing.
- Handle portable machines with care. Transport the AS1001 properly protected and check it after a long trip.
- Plan a service before the season. A check-up in the quieter months is the best protection against a breakdown in the busiest ones.
And when something does go wrong, have it repaired by a specialist who knows the machine. A quick improvised fix often costs more in the long run than a proper repair.
Older or Second-Hand ProSharp Machines
Because they are built to last, many ProSharp machines are still in use after many years – and quite a few change owners along the way. An older or second-hand machine can still be an excellent sharpener, but its history is often unknown: how many skates it has sharpened, when it was last serviced, how it was stored and transported.
A full service tells you exactly what condition the machine is in. We assess it, explain what needs attention now and what can wait, and bring it back to reliable working order. Whether you have just bought a used AS2001 or AS1001 or have been using the same machine for a decade, we can help.
Why the Condition of the Machine Decides the Edge
A sharp edge is not only a matter of the operator’s skill. The machine has to hold the blade perfectly straight, the grinding wheel has to have the right profile, and the whole unit has to run smoothly without vibration. If any of these is slightly off, the result is an edge that is uneven, higher on one side than the other, or simply not as sharp as it should be.
Skaters feel these differences immediately – in turns, stops and starts. Hockey players lose grip and confidence; figure skaters notice it in every jump and spin. For a pro shop or rink, it means unhappy customers who may not come back. That is why we never treat a sharpener as “working” just because it starts: our aim is a machine that delivers the precise, consistent results a ProSharp is designed for.
One Workshop for All Your ProSharp Machines
Our customers range from a single skate shop with one AS2001 to clubs and organisations that run several machines – an AS2001 in the home rink and one or more AS1001 units for their teams on the road. For all of them, it is easier to have one partner who knows every machine they own.
When we service your machines regularly, we know their history: what was repaired, which parts were replaced and what to keep an eye on next time. This makes each service faster and more accurate, and it helps you plan – for example, by having all machines checked in the quieter months before the season. Ice hockey clubs, rinks, skate shops, webshops and skating schools from Hungary and across Europe already work with us this way.
