About the ProSharp AS2001 Allpro-SC
The AS2001 Allpro-SC is designed for a fixed sharpening place – the counter of a skate shop, the service room of a rink or the equipment room of a club. Its strengths are simple: staff can learn to use it quickly, it produces consistent edges, and it is inexpensive to keep running. Many owners use the same AS2001 for a decade or more.
That long life is also why the AS2001 is so often found in workshops like ours. A machine that sharpens skates from opening to closing time, season after season, accumulates wear that no operator can fully prevent. The good news is that the AS2001 is built so that its components can be serviced and replaced individually. With the right care, an older machine can deliver the same quality as a new one.
The AS2001 is one of the two ProSharp models we specialise in. For an overview and a comparison with the portable AS1001, see our ProSharp machines page. ProSharp AS2001 and AS1001 overview
Who Uses the AS2001 – and Why Downtime Hurts
- Skate shops and pro shops – sharpening brings customers back regularly; every day without it means lost visits and lost sales.
- Ice rinks – the public and resident clubs expect sharpening to be available whenever the rink is open.
- Ice hockey clubs – players need reliable edges for every training session and game, from youth teams to the first team.
- Webshops with a sharpening service – orders keep coming in, and a broken machine means delayed deliveries.
- Skating schools and academies – many skaters rely on one machine, so a breakdown affects everyone at once.
For all of these users, the AS2001 is not a machine that can wait weeks for a repair. That is why we keep AS2001 parts in stock and start work as soon as the quote is approved.
Common AS2001 Problems We Repair
Most AS2001 problems develop gradually from long running hours and grinding dust. These are the issues we see most often:
Uneven or inconsistent edges
The most common complaint – and often the first sign that something is wearing. Edges that differ between skates, or one edge that sits higher than the other, usually point to the skate holder, the alignment or the condition of the grinding wheel.
Grinding wheel and dressing problems
The grinding wheel wears with every pair of skates. If it is not dressed correctly or has worn unevenly, it cannot produce the right profile. Problems with the dressing unit itself also affect results.
Noise, vibration and drive wear
New noises or more vibration than usual are typical signs of worn bearings or other drive components. Left alone, they get worse – and vibration affects the quality of every edge the machine produces.
Weak dust extraction
Grinding dust is the AS2001’s constant enemy. Clogged filters or damaged hoses reduce suction, letting dust settle inside the machine, where it speeds up wear on moving parts and electrical components.
Electrical and starting faults
A machine that will not start, cuts out during sharpening or behaves inconsistently may have a problem with switches, wiring or the motor. These faults need a technician – please don’t try to improvise a fix.
What Our AS2001 Full Service Includes
A repair fixes the fault you came with. Our full service brings the whole AS2001 back to good working condition, so it is ready for another season of heavy use. It typically includes:
- Thorough cleaning inside and out, removing built-up grinding dust
- Check of the grinding wheel, its mounting and balance, and of the dressing unit
- Check and adjustment of the skate holder and alignment
- Check of the motor, bearings and drive
- Check of the dust extraction – filters, hoses and suction
- Check of switches, cables and connections
- Replacement of worn parts from our own stock – only after your approval
- Final test before the machine is returned
As with every repair, we start with a condition assessment and send you an individual quote. You decide what is done. Our repair process
AS2001 Spare Parts From Our Own Stock
Long waits for parts are the main reason sharpener repairs drag on. We avoid them by keeping our own supply of AS2001 spare parts. In most cases, the part your machine needs is already in our workshop, so the repair can begin straight after your approval.
If you maintain your AS2001 yourself, you can also order parts directly. Send us the name or number of the part – or simply a photo – and we will reply with an offer. Typical AS2001 parts include grinding wheels, skate holder components, bearings and drive parts, filters and electrical components. ProSharp spare parts
Keeping Your AS2001 in Top Condition
A few habits make a big difference to how long your AS2001 lasts and how good its results are:
Every day
Remove grinding dust from the machine and its surroundings, and check that the dust extraction is working properly. Keep the skate holder clean so blades sit straight.
Regularly
Dress the grinding wheel as needed, check filters and hoses, and pay attention to noise, vibration and edge quality. Any change is worth noting – it is the earliest warning you will get.
Once a season
Have the machine professionally checked, ideally in the quieter months before the season starts. It is the most effective way to avoid a breakdown during the busiest weeks. Sharpener maintenance
Signs Your AS2001 Needs a Technician
Contact us if you notice any of the following – the earlier a problem is caught, the simpler and cheaper the repair usually is:
- Customers or players say their edges feel different or uneven
- You need more passes than before to get a sharp edge
- The machine is louder or vibrates more than it used to
- There is visibly more dust in and around the machine
- The skate holder has play or does not clamp as firmly as before
- The machine cuts out, will not start, or behaves inconsistently
- It has not had a professional service for a full season or longer
What to Include in Your Request
A good description helps us understand the problem before the machine arrives – and sometimes shows that a spare part alone will solve it. When you contact us, please include:
- The model – AS2001 Allpro-SC – and, if you know it, the serial number and approximate age of the machine
- What you notice – the symptoms, when they started and whether they are getting worse
- Photos or a short video – of the machine, the affected parts and, if possible, a sharpened blade
- How the machine is used – roughly how many hours a day or skates a week
- When it was last serviced, if you know
- Your country, so we can advise on shipping
Bought a Used AS2001?
Because the AS2001 lasts so long, many machines are sold on second-hand. A used AS2001 can be an excellent buy – but you rarely know how many skates it has sharpened, when it was last serviced or how it has been stored and transported.
A full service before you put it to work tells you exactly what you have. We assess its condition, explain what needs attention now and what can wait, and bring it back to reliable working order. It is a small investment that protects a much larger one.

ProSharp AS2001 – FAQ
Do you repair all versions of the ProSharp AS2001?
We repair and service the ProSharp AS2001 Allpro-SC, including older machines that have been in use for many years. Send us the details of your machine and we will confirm what we can do.
How often should an AS2001 be serviced?
It depends on how much the machine is used. As a rule, a full check once a year – ideally before the season – is a good minimum, and heavily used machines benefit from more frequent maintenance.
Do you have spare parts for the AS2001 in stock?
Yes. We keep our own supply of spare parts for the AS2001, so repairs can usually start as soon as you approve the quote. You can also order parts directly from us.
My AS2001 still works, but the edges are not as good as before. Is that a repair?
Very often, yes. A decline in edge quality is usually caused by wear or misalignment that a technician can find and correct. Send us a description and photos, and we will advise you on the next step.
Can I send my AS2001 from another country?
Yes. We welcome orders from all over Europe. You send the machine to our Budapest workshop, we assess it, send you a quote and return it after the repair. We communicate in English, preferably by email.
