CAG ONE NHL Skate Profiler is a professional automatic skate blade profiling machine designed to adjust the longitudinal geometry of a skate blade, including its profile radius and pitch. It is designed for professional skate service centres, ice rinks, sports clubs and teams that require a precise and repeatable blade profiling process.
Skate blade profiling changes the amount and position of the blade that contacts the ice and can therefore influence how a skate behaves during acceleration, turning and straight-line skating. CAG ONE NHL Skate Profiler automates this process, helping reduce variations caused by differences between individual operators.
The machine can be used to prepare hockey skates, goalie skates and figure skates.
The system performs skate blade profiling automatically according to the selected settings.
According to the manufacturer, profiling one pair of skates takes less than 10 minutes.
A simple digital control panel allows the operator to configure the profiling process.
A single-point diamond tool is used to precisely prepare the working grinding wheel.
Provides improved visibility for visual inspection of the skate blade profile.
Helps determine profile position and balance according to skate size and setup.
Skate blade profiling is the process of shaping the longitudinal geometry of a skate blade. Parameters that can be adjusted include the profile radius and the position of the profile in relation to the skate.
The objective is to adapt the blade's contact area with the ice to the skater's style and the desired skating characteristics. The profile can influence acceleration, manoeuvrability, stability and the length and smoothness of the glide.
CAG ONE NHL Skate Profiler was designed as a fully automatic skate blade profiling system. Once the skate has been secured and the required parameters entered, the machine performs the profiling process according to the selected configuration.
Automation is particularly valuable in professional skate service centres where the same blade profile may need to be reproduced during subsequent visits or when preparing multiple pairs of skates.
According to the manufacturer, profiling one pair of skates takes less than 10 minutes.
One of the parameters that influences how the skate blade behaves is the longitudinal profile radius. Changing the radius affects the length of the section of blade that remains in contact with the ice.
A smaller radius reduces the amount of blade that remains in contact with the ice.
According to the manufacturer, this type of profile may support faster acceleration, tighter turns and greater manoeuvrability.
At the same time, contact with the ice can become more aggressive and the ability to maintain a long, free glide may be reduced.
A larger profile radius increases the amount of blade that remains in contact with the ice.
This may improve stability, glide and the efficiency of long, powerful strides.
The trade-off may be reduced responsiveness during rapid direction changes and acceleration.
CAG ONE NHL Skate Profiler allows the operator to adjust not only the profile radius but also the position and pitch of the skate blade profile.
This is important because changing the balance point can influence how a skater distributes body weight and uses the blade while skating.
The blade profile can therefore be adapted to the individual requirements of the skater and the desired skating characteristics.
CAG ONE NHL Skate Profiler features a digital control panel used to operate the profiling process and enter the required machine settings.
The system is designed to support process repeatability, regardless of the experience level of the current operator. This is particularly valuable in skate service centres where several technicians may use the same machine.
The machine uses a professional single-point diamond tool to precisely prepare the surface of the working grinding wheel for the skate blade profiling process.
This system allows the grinding wheel geometry to be prepared for the required skate blade profile.
CAG ONE NHL Skate Profiler includes two additional tools designed to support control of the profiling process:
These features support the operator when checking the setup and final profiling result.
CAG ONE NHL Skate Profiler can be used to prepare:
The ability to adjust blade profile geometry makes the machine suitable for professional service centres working with skaters who have different requirements and skating styles.

CAG ONE NHL Skate Profiler is primarily intended for professional environments where skate blade profiling is performed regularly and repeatable results are required.
In professional skate preparation, it is important to distinguish between two separate processes. CAG ONE NHL Skate Profiler is used to shape the longitudinal profile of the blade, while CAG ONE Diamond and CAG ONE Evolution are primarily designed for the skate sharpening process.
The profiler establishes the blade geometry according to the skater's requirements, while the appropriate sharpening process prepares the blade edges for skating.
Profiling and sharpening can therefore be treated as complementary stages of professional skate preparation.
There is no single skate blade profile that is ideal for every skater. The desired result depends on factors such as skating style and whether the priority is manoeuvrability, acceleration, stability or smooth glide.
| Profile Change | Characteristics According to the Manufacturer |
|---|---|
| Smaller radius | Faster acceleration, tighter turns and greater manoeuvrability |
| Larger radius | Improved glide, greater stability and efficient, powerful strides |
One of the main advantages of an automatic profiling system is the ability to reduce differences between individual operators.
In a professional skate service environment, this is particularly important when a skater expects a specific setup to be reproduced on another pair of blades or after blade replacement.
CAG ONE positions the NHL Skate Profiler as a system designed to provide professional, precise and repeatable skate blade profiling.
According to the manufacturer's current terms, new CAG ONE machines are covered by a 2-year warranty.
The manufacturer's current catalogue states that the warranty covers parts and labour for repairs approved as warranty cases. Shipping, transportation and machine handling costs remain the responsibility of the customer unless otherwise agreed in writing.
CAG ONE NHL Skate Profiler is designed for automatic skate blade profiling. It shapes the longitudinal geometry of the blade and allows the profile to be adapted to the required skating characteristics.
No. Profiling changes the longitudinal geometry of the skate blade, while sharpening prepares the blade edges. Both processes can be used together as part of professional skate preparation.
According to the manufacturer, the profiling process takes less than 10 minutes per pair of skates.
Yes. The manufacturer describes CAG ONE NHL Skate Profiler as a fully automatic skate blade profiling system.
Yes. According to the manufacturer, the machine can be used with hockey skates, goalie skates and figure skates.
According to the manufacturer, a smaller profile radius reduces the amount of blade in contact with the ice and may support faster acceleration, tighter turns and greater manoeuvrability.
A larger profile radius increases the amount of blade in contact with the ice. According to the manufacturer, this may improve glide, stability and the efficiency of long, powerful strides.
No. Skate blade profile radius describes the longitudinal geometry of the blade. ROH – Radius of Hollow – describes the radius of the hollow created between the two blade edges during sharpening. These are two different parameters.
