I used a flap disk on my angle grinder. It was a tighter fit but worked well if you guys don’t have air tools.

[@iftikartaxis]

Great video thanks for sharing your info

[@offroadaussie]

That is awesome you have some good skills with a cut off disk can see you’ve done it before, because I would’ve made a real mess with the cut off disk, maybe not good for a beginner. Thanks for the awesome video

[@sergey8339]

Thanks for video, good job, but it's better to do it manually, fixing trimmer on the table to preserve cutting angle and save more metal on blades.

[@jamesomahony1771]

Good vid, without coming over all Safety Sally, I’d def say wearing ear protection is almost as important as eye protection, especially when using air tools for extended periods.

[@fillslawncare]

Yeah I agree I should have put on my muffs. Thank you for the reminder! Have a great day my friend

[@johnsamson6465]

Phil is there any grease fittings on the blower unit Or the paddle wheel are just purchased them Dee Oregon tell me much about maintenance for fittings

[@fillslawncare]

The stihl leaf Blower? IT does not have any Grease fittings

[@jeremyking6668]

If I use a dremel will i get similar results? Or does this way produce much sharper blades?

[@fillslawncare]

You will get similar results but it might take you twice as long to sharpen your unit.

[@mattwaters6987]

I heard that after the maintenance is done on the blades to use a vegetable oil rather than petroleum based oil. Better for the plants. Thoughts?

[@1top2clean19]

Yes you can use Camellia Oil it's a natural and non-toxic product that prevents carbon steel knives from rusting or corroding.
I use it for all my cutting tools in the garden and in the kitchen too.
Camellia oil can be used to many more things, e. g. Wood, Hair, Knifes, etc...

[@6900pilot]

Aren't you weakening the metal by heating it with a grinder, wouldnt a flat file be better? what happens when it's all ground away can you get replacement blades?

[@enufots4621]

Lol I'm confused as to how many cutting surfaces there are per tooth!

[@fillslawncare]

2

[@aros007z]

No! Never do it this way!

[@newcoyote]

Why on earth would you use a cutoff wheel rather than a fine grit abrasive disk? I don't care how much skill or control you think you have, a flat face disk is going to give you far better control and a consistent bevel apex. I have been sharpening this type of power shears and all kinds of other blades for decades and I cannot figure how a cutoff disk would be the first choice. Worse, you don't even address what must be a horrific burr that will have been formed on the flat side and is a critical consideration in any sharpening job. I can see it clearly around 2:18. It is especially important for this type of tool because you want to make as clean a cut as possible because of plant health factors. A burr will leave a ragged cut on the plant and will then be far more susceptible to infection. I don't want to come across as being a jerk and I hope my comment is taken with the intention of having good information available. Again, I know this from many years of experience maintaining and using the same equipment and formal education in horticulture and botany. It's not really an opinion and my points are pretty objective and fact-checked.

[@fillslawncare]

Yeah thanks for the information. I will look into abrasive flappy disks instead of stones. Have a great day my friend 👍🏼

[@stevemccull9699]

I agree , by hand with diamond hone!

[@donkeydiehard879]

Dear Lord this how you blow up a cut off wheel. Those are not made for side pressure. Use a grinding wheel not a cut off wheel

[@alistairharris7891]

Focus is terrible on that camera

[@LawnProAdviceTalk]

That is so dangerous my man. Please no one try this.
