Nice job sharpening. My other wheel is a wire brush. I brush all grass build up on blades before sharpening and balancing

[@WeatherNut27]

Awesome video! I didnt realize I was doing it wrong for past 10yrs! Your way gets it super sharp! I was using the left wheel and not moving the blade right. Your way got my blade razor sharp

[@carolebersole4025]

Thanks for the blade balancing device suggestion. And great safety tip about the cables.

[@HighRidgeHandyman]

Thanks Carol👍🏻👍🏻

you just got a new subscriber. You just made sharpening my lawn mower blades so much easier. Thankyou for this video. I noticed your grinding wheel (coarse) was on the right side of your grinder. Mine was on the left so I couldnt use your same method. I've been fighting this every time and not getting good results. I have the blades that are mulch style with the jagged back edge and they couldnt be rested on anything so I was always getting a rough, uneven sharpening edge. Thanks to you I just switched my grinding wheels around and it is so much easier and wayyyy better results. Thankyou so much. Keep the videos coming

Same orientation here as well. Exact same grinder too!

[@garrison8215]

Good video ,Thanks.

Nice video! I just sharpened my blades with an angle grinder using a flap disc 60grit. Mounted on to a vise. I never knew you had to sharpen backside of them. I only sharpen the angle side and remove the burr from other side.

[@Jonathan-fw6ty]

You are right, you don't want to sharpen the back side or your grass will rip appart instead of cutting neatly.

1/4” hex 12v Stubby(the name is perfect for it because it can get every place u need it to) works great doing this and can can pretty much do ne home DIY project u could think of. Yep including changing the ol tires.

[@GaryDavis-ll4uc]

All u have to do is make a 30 degree angle on one side. So make a 30 degree plate and mount it to your grinder.

[@robertcrook4073]

Good easy understandable knowledge nothing to Mia understand here

[@guydesnoyers8417]

Ok so halfway through the video, he's sharpening blades, yadda yadda, out of nowhere he drops his sleeper Ridgid setup for the first time!?
Did I miss your check-out-my-handyman-Ridgid-kit video?? 😅

[@HighRidgeHandyman]

Come on bro!! You know I am team orange cuz!!! You didn’t miss anything Yada yada yada😂

[@ferddiubaldo4324]

Your process is poor, you keep changing the angle of the grind with each pass by 5 degrees, better to adjust the platform to 30 degrees and be consistent every time. Your second mistake is putting 6-8 passes on the back side of the blade resulting in an angle on both sides of the blade when only 1 pass is required to remove burrs, back side of the blade should have zero angle.

[@HighRidgeHandyman]

Post and show us 👍🏻

[@Jonathan-fw6ty]

A mower blade works like a chisel.
You are only suposed to sharpen it on one side and leave the other side dull.

[@mgpvii]

…and don’t you hold the blade the opposite from what he is doing?

[@2147B]

Its very easy to tell if your blades are cutting, or tearing. When the grass has been cut get off and look at the cut. Clean flat tops is sharp, flat/torn tops are dull blades. Grass is able to heal faster when its growing with sharp blades. Torn grass takes longer to heal and sometimes dies if it's dry/ etc etc.

[@losmoore3358]

What grit do u use to sharpen the mower blade ?

[@HighRidgeHandyman]

30 grit

[@losmoore3358]

@@HighRidgeHandyman would a 36 grit do ? I also have a 60 grit.

[@losmoore3358]

Do u sharpen both sides of each blade ?
