well I'll come back to Steve Rob reviews today I'm gonna review something that I haven't done
before and that's how I get my lawn mower blades super sharp super fast and if you just take I'm
not too sure if you're gonna be able to see this or not can you see how that's kind up a little bit
there yeah these aren't sharp I have to sharpen them now and you can see the guy grass all over
them and I just took it off so how do you sharpen a lot more blades well I'll tell you if you're
using one of these with a big stone good luck with that it's really too big you really can't
see what you're doing it'll do the job and you know what if it cuts grass it cuts grass right
I just don't use it you couldn't use something like this you know with the floppy disc but you
know what still too big for the job and you know you really can't see what you're doing half the
time with it now a lot of people use just a file and I used to file in the FATA in the past before
and it works great but it's slow and it's kind of tedious and you know what if you have the right
tool to do the job why not use it right so what do a lot of people use I'm telling you a lot of
people go right for the bench grinder and they just jam that baby right and you've got like a
dog's leg by the time you're finished so what do I use well I use these this is a small you
there's two versions I like this one the best and here's one of the discs here this is a coarse and
the one we're using today is the fine and if you take a look at this they're called roll lock discs
it just audits us again here for you and it just kind of twists in there you put this on your angle
grinder now the second version is a pad one side as you can see here is aggressive this is a real
aggressive one too I believe it's a 50 and this is almost like a just a regular type of stick
on kind of thing you know and it doesn't come off but they're not as good as the rock but I do like
using this for blending in some spots they don't get hot like you will have on some disks and the
worst thing you can do with any piece of metal is get it really smoking hot loses all this temper
and it doesn't stay sharp for long so yeah this is what I like I like using a little die grinder
and I put one of them disks on there and it does a terrific job I'll show you how I like to get
everything super sharp and I have heard on you know different media sites where they say oh no
you don't want to get your lawn mower blades too sharp because they dull fast well I don't know is
that the same thing that would apply to a knife I like a knife super sharp is it gonna dull faster
well it depends on the metal it depends on how you sharpen it all kinds of different things I've been
using this for years and years and years I find it's terrific let's get to it I'll show you how
I do it okay so I got this fit into my vise here I don't have it in the jobs I have it underneath
so it's just below the jaws and with most of these you can just place it in here and you
want to get this on the level so this it's pretty well square going across just kind of snug it up
you know so it doesn't move on you there we go and it's pretty much level so you can see it
makes it easier so when you bring in your your cutter along here and you're grinding this now
on this one here I've got a hundred and twenty grit pad and we'll just show you how easy it is
and there it is right there so I'll do the other side only gonna take a second care and that's it
so I'll give you a little bit of all care you guys tell me if you could see how sharp that is
and I'll turn it over on the other side you know that's all you really need now you see this one
here that's been kind to chew it up and everything see this part here I'll show you what I do for
that all I do I put her back in the vise this time nice and square and flat and I always buzz
off the bauxite too cuz you will have a little bit kind of Peel over so let's do that right now
and that's pretty well lit for that one let's do this one right here this is all in real time
there it go right there now if you take a look at that that's just taking the edge ah and guys this
is super sharp I don't know how sharp you want it to be but that's uh that's an easy job to
do well what do you guys think guys there it is right there it only took me a couple of seconds
to press it off and I know somebody's gonna ask so I'll show you okay for the scotch-brite guys
this is what I use and it's from 3m and of course I only use the 3m Roll optics
to these disks are they come in a box of 50 I think I paid like $30 they are just terrific I
did try the wing-wang brands guys in my opinion go up to 3m save yourself a lot of aggravation
and lousy discs I like the 3m product it does a great job and this is an alternative way of
sharpening your lawn mower blades it's not as good as a professional unit you would see and
uh I guess a place that sells lawn mowers and sharpens them professionally but you know what
I'm not a professional just too do-it-yourselfer and I enjoy using the tools that I think I feel
more comfortable with rather than like a big grinder or putting it into the you know a big
a ditch you know surface disc or anything like that this is a 2 inch and for me you know when
you're when you're doing a lot more blade and you just want it to cut grass I mean I just take this
off the lawnmower takes me what maybe 45 seconds to a minute to do slap it back on and that's it
I do this twice a year so I don't know that's up to you you guys let me know in the comments
below how you actually sharpen yours and have you ever tried using this system like I do so
thanks for joining me here today you just guys take care come back again now Cheers
you
