Do you sharpen your lawnmower blades?

If so, how do you do it?
I do it but it’s never as good as new. I use a 60grit flapper disk thingy. The blades cut good for a few cuts but they go the chit after a while. Surely some u anal lawn freaks have a method! Spill the beans! Help a fellow dull blade man!

I sharpen mine - bench grinder - nice steady hand and I have a lawnmower blade balancer - it's a stepped cone on a pin - works good

Walter blending disk on a 5” angle grinder. No complaints on my end.

used those when I worked as mechanic for the City

Sharpened 30 blades each Monday

Balancing makes a big difference

Change oil and sharpen blades every spring. Unless they are bent then they go in the bin.

It's like changing a windshield........proper way to do it is put a new one in. But guaranteed the minute you do the wife is gonna put a rock into it.

Been sharpening my own for years. Youre right, they work great for a couple cuts but sure dull out quick

I sharpen mine. Put it in the vise and use the angle grinder, then check it for balance. Once maybe twice a year. Have a friend that was sharpening his with the bench grinder last week and it slipped and he cut an inch off his finger.

I just throttle the bitch up full tilt. Give er. Sticks stumps rocks ratchet straps frogs. Buy new every few years.

And The 15ft rough cut mower at work goes threw 5 inch trees. NOw that’s good times

Steady as she goes on the bench grinder. After every cut mind you I cut maybe 4 acres of grass each cut. Take them off and clean out the deck as well each time.

Sharpen with a grinder to get the big gouges out and finish them with a file. Works great until wife decides to cut some more gravel :d
