Today we're showing you guys how to sharpen a lawn mower blade, and the setup that we have inside our storage locker. It's not perfect, but it does the job! One day we'll have a whole station at the new shop, but for now, this works for us!
We sharpen all of our lawn mower blades around once a month, and change out the blades on the mower almost daily. This ensures a beautiful cut for all of our properties, which helps create those amazing stripes.
How often do you guys sharpen your mower blades? What tool do you guys use to get the job done? Let us know down below!

@brad350 Жыл бұрын

Great video as usual…I own a sharpening business and I have the magnamatic with the dust collection three stage filter system, and balancer. I also have the mulching blade option. I absolutely love the setup. I sharpen 20-30 blades a week, and they get razor sharp. I use an old fashioned bastard file to knock the wire bur off the back side. It’s expensive, but it’s paid itself off multiple times over. I do completely clean the blades with a wire wheel on an angle grinder in order to get them perfectly balanced.

I always clean the blades before sharpening for the best balance, 30 degree no more the 35 degrees. I have the Magna Matic and the All American sharpener. I use the All American when blades are really dinged up, it’s quicker. 👍🏻

I use a bench grinder and a homemade block jig. Most of my sharpening is chainsaws and I do that by hand. 30 years has perfected that, but hey, great video. Cool start to your shop

Only downfall I see of that machine is it doesn't do a grind all the way to where original grind is on factory but man it does do a great job making a nice even flush grind !! Great job

10-12 sets and we sharpen once a month. 3 blades for our mowers.

@@BriansLawnMaintenance I use all three, All American-MagnaMatic-RGB 712, each do well depending on style of blades. I question your feedback with the amount of blades you do per season, per disc, to last that long, the outer rim of the disc wears thin, it seems to take longer to sharpen, time is money, but so is the disc!

I would say no real set amount of times but how dinged up they get and how aggressive you need to grind them to get all the dings out when sharpening, more of a visual inspection rather than a you can sharpen them X amount of times
