The Elite E-P3 Blade Profiler: Key Features
CNC Precision Templates
Precision begins with the profile templates which carry the shape you will copy onto the blades. Elite profile templates are not just laser cut, but CNC-machined, guaranteeing consistent results.
User Friendly Interface
The profiler is simple to operate, with minimal supervision required. The Elite E-P3 Blade Profiler mounts blades from the top, mimicking the way they sit in the skate holder, so there is always a consistent reference point every time they are profiled.
Profile Four Blades at a Time
This not only saves time but ensures that all blades will be identical, eliminating unwanted variability between blades in a set and between pairs of blades.
Integrated Pitch Options
Our profiler comes with customizable blade pitch with 1/64”, 1/32”, or 3/64” increments on all templates.
Clean & Safe Operating Environment
Designed for minimal mess and easy maintenance with glass doors that contain any dust and a side-mounted vacuum for easy clean up and maintenance.

Why Profiling is a Game Changer
The profile of a skate blade, also called the contour, is the curve of the blade from toe to heel. It determines your balance point and how much of your blade will be in contact with the ice. Your profile has a dramatic effect on your skating performance. Even very tiny changes in blade shape make a huge difference to the way your blades feel on the ice.
Performance profiling is about combining multiple radius curves on one blade — to put more blade in contact with the ice (to gain speed and stability), while also keeping the agility and explosiveness essential to the game of hockey.
Finding the right profile can improve your speed and efficiency, your balance and stability, your power and acceleration, your agility and edge control and ultimately your confidence and performance.
Profiling is an easy way to improve performance. More and more elite skaters are starting to pay attention to their profile and benefit from the results.
