The Ultimate Guide to Achieving Razor-Sharp Lawn Mower Blades

The best way to sharpen lawn mower blades

In order to properly sharpen your lawn mower blade, it is imperative to wear eye protection. Additionally, make sure to flip the blade over to ensure that both sides are effectively sharpened. Remember to use angle grinder or a bench grinder for optimal results.

Ensure that the same quantity of material is eliminated from both sides to maintain balance of the blade. To verify this, position the lawn mower blade onto a lawn mower blade balancer. If one side tilts downwards, it indicates that more material must be removed from that side.

Before installing the lawn mower blade and securing the nuts, make sure to remove all grass residue from the underside of the lawn mower.
