Dang Steve how many beers you had? That blade ain’t worth sharpening.
I wondered about that, Thank you.
I've been sharpening my axes with them for several years now. Just started using them on my lawn mower blades this year. You're right, they work great! They're fast too!
Good to hear!
That's funny, I went from the overbearing bench grinder to a simple flapper disc and it was so much more forgiving. Right on Steve!
Steve, I use a belt sander to sharpen my mower blades. Because of the flatness of the tool I get a much more acurate result and I use it length ways to get a much more even outcome. Once you try this you won't go back to any other method. Cheers from Brisbane Australia.
I’ve been doing something similar, I use a 3M roloc’s with 80 grit and in a three inch size in my die grinder. It’s just takes minutes to sharpen a blade, it takes longer to clean the blade with a putty knife and a wire brush than it does to sharpen it. Great advice as usual, keep them coming!
The roloc discs been my go to for a while. I even use them on shredder blades rather than the angle grinder - seems to work fine.
I love flap disks and have used them for many years to quickly and accurately sharpen my mower blades. From my ZTR to the 1/2" thick blades on my tractor's brush hog. Greatest grinding invention ever!
I’ve been sharpening blades with a flap disk for years now. But remember this…inexpensive flap disk don’t last as long. I can sharpen 8-10 blades with a quality disc, cheap discs only last 2-3 blades. With cheap discs you can feel the grit shooting off the disc when it’s spinning.
Steve, if you keep this up you will become the Scotty Kilmer of small engines. Thanks for your expertise.
Good method. For years I’ve been using a grinding disc on my push mower. Place glad wrap over the fuel filler hole, screw the cap on over it & tilt the mower all the way back, and place a weight on the handle such as a brick to hold it down. Gets the blades razor sharp each time. If the mower won’t be used for a while just after a sharpen, then lightly brush the sharp edge of the blades with chainsaw bar oil & a smallish paint brush to keep the shiny steel from deteriorating.
I have been getting amazing results with the flapper disk on mower blades for years. I have a bike repair stand that fits on top of a speaker stand perfectly and I use it to hold trimmers, but it also holds mower blades at eye level so no bending over when sharpening mower blades. It makes it even faster and better. I have a grinder with a flap disk on it all the time I don't use regular grinding disks anymore because the flap disk is so much smoother and it keeps me from burning through thin material like mower decks when I'm welding them.
I’ve been using an abrasive wheel on a side grinder with reasonable success. I will try a flapper disc. I trust your methods and your videos have been a money saver. You’re the Best.
Cool, thanks
Been using a 120 grit flapper disc on my blades for years. My preferred method of sharpening my blades.
I've been using flapper discs for mower blades for years. They work the best
I agree!
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon what grit for mower blades 40 or 60?
@@tommywwalden1599 I used a 40 in this video
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon 👌🙌
Well Steve, we have all always appreciated all of your flap!
Thats funny , i was sharpening our chipper blades with these yesterday
Been using this for years. I square the blade out on my 1x30 belt sander, then use a flap disc to sharpen! If in storage for a while, i put it back on the Belt sander to polish the blade. Use this for a whole garage full of commercial mowers.
Just put em in my shopping cart through your link! Thank you Steve! I have been using a file for years, as the bench grinder isn't very easy to keep an even edge. This idea is the best I've ever seen so far. Way to go!
Scott.. You mentioned you have difficulty maintaining a proper angle sharpening a lawnmower blade using a bench grinder. Wes McBride has a You Tube video on how to build a blade sharpening jig for lawnmower blades. Super simple design using cheap hardware available anywhere. Type Wes McBride in the YT search box for complete demo. Best to You and Yours.
@@RaysLaughsAndLyrics I may check it out, but I can say that the flapper idea seems way more efficient and quicker
Been using flapper disks for years! Thanks for sharing it with the people Steve!!
No problem 👍
Good Evening to all from SE Louisiana 23 Jul 22.
A '90 something year old farmer told me about using those flapper disks on my lawn mower blades the summer before last. I was blown away at how easy they are to use and how efficient and effective they are on lawn mower blades. Far superb to any other method I have tried over the years!
I agree!
I have been using flapper disk for awhile now was trying 60 grit now I am trying 120 grit also .
Amazon has them for $20.00 for 10, 60 grit discs and yes I tried them for the first time here last week and they work great
You can get better result with higher grit. 120 or 180 are the best.
I have been sharpening lawn mower blades for decades with a bench grinder. After needing to find a better faster way to sharpen them and keeping the correct angle, I researched all of the available commercial blade sharpener devices. I chose the RBG - 712. It beats them all in ease of use, speed and keeping the edge the correct perfect angle and straight. Flapper discs are a good all around tool that work well for most everything. Good tool for the average do-it-yourself home owner.
I just pulled this video up today and wouldn't you know I just sharpened my three lawnmower blades yesterday with a flapper disk. I agree it works very well. I tried all kinds of methods before a friend put me onto this method. I used a grinder for a while but got concerned that I was overheating the blades so I began using a file. That worked but was time consuming and required a lot of effort. The flapper disc is the best method.
Hey Steve, just learned this and have been using a flapper on blades. It also works great on chainsaw bars to level and take off the burrs!! Works good to remove the paint to be able to repaint!!!!
Wish I knew this years ago!!!
Good stuff!
This guy has a lot of helpful TH-cam vids on Lawnmower engine repairs and they are very helpful. Btw....those flapper disks are also in Harbor Freight.
My father always sharpened our tree equipment with a flapper wheel attached to a drill in a vise. Our machetes, axes and hatchets always had great edges. Highly recommended.
That is awesome!
Ive never tried using a dics to sharpen, ive tried once with a bench grinder and I stopped immediately and just took it too a sharpener shop. Im going to have to try using a disc grinder and see if I can save a few bucks!! Thanks for the update on your old video!!
I have never tried using a flap disk to sharpen my mower blade. Great idea. The reviews look very promising. Can't wait to try!
Yes, I have been doing it that way for years!
Yes sir!! I do the same thing except I use a solid 4.5 in disc. Yes I've used flap disc's also, both are very fast and easy to use. Great video as always Steve
The secret is out !! Been doing it for years . It works great. Great job Steve ! 👍👍
I sharpen everything with flapper discs these days, I’ve been through the same trial and error
Great channel Steve!
Love your awesome help, it’s like my own personal mechanical teacher in my pocket 😂
Right on
I was just staring at my blades after my 30 degree angle cut with a Porter & Cable grinder. This flapper disk approach is fantastic to me, I'm a newbie homeowner, thanks Steve! 🍻
Right on
I use a belt sander, gets a more even edge.
Dude !! Where you been ?? Lord have mercy ,,. Been doing this for yrs . Holla .
Steve - I have no idea "how much beer" it takes to get the blade sharpened....

Ha! I just walked in the door after using my flapper disc and 90 degree grinder to sharpen my riding mower’s blades. Works amazingly well.
Good stuff!
I've been using flapper disc to sharpen blades for a while. It works awesome!
I always use flapper (180 grit). 80 grit for heavily damaged blade, and finishes with 180.
New Subscriber here. Flapper Disc cracked me up we call it a Tiger Paw! Either way it gets the job done. Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you!
Too right! They are the go for sharpening mower blades.
They work great. Steve do you give away channel stickers?
Yessir!! In my teens and early 20's I thought a bench grinder was the bees knees for sharpening mower blades. Until I tried a flap wheel about 8 years ago!
Thanks for sharing👍 if only I'd known about 15 years earlier😄
That is awesome!
What grit is the disk you used?
40
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon thank you
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon I got my 31 year old daughter watching your channel now too. Now that she is a homeowner, she needs tips on keeping equipment running
Worked at a golf course 20yrs ago doing equipment maintenance and lucked on to this technique one day when it was all I had to use.
I've never went back.
Right on
I used one because I was to lazy to put a grinding disc on my angle grinder. (Yes that’s how lazy I can be) and I couldn’t believe how well it worked
Landscaper approved messenge! I been doing it with those forever.
Right on
100% 👍
Thanks Steve. Been looking for a better way to sharpen my blades for years! You’ve always steered me right. Going out today for a flapper wheel.
You're Welcome...
I agree. That's exactly what I use.Thanks Steve.
Right on
thx
I started using flap disks for sharpening mower blades probably 3 or 4 years ago and have never looked back! lol
Right on
Can you do a video on the best way to sharpen hedge trimmer blades?
Not sure on the proper way, but I use a die grinder and follow the original pitch of the blade. I disassemble the blades off the trimmer first
Heck yeah, they’re the only way to go! I can’t believe I used to use a file way back in the day, been using a flapper disc for years now and I’ll never use anything else!
Funny enough I used a flapper last week to sharpen ride on blade. I first used a regular wheel to get the angle correct and then cleaned it up with the flapper.
Right on
100% in your camp Steve. Flap disks are the best all purpose farm sharpener. I get the same results as you with the hard disks. It always looks like a dogs breakfast and it is really easy to over heat the steel. The flap disks are a game changer. They work a treat on agricultural style machetes as well.
Awesome mate! Thank You...
I've always used flappers. They are the bomb!
I agree!
Harbor Freight belt sander works great if you’re into metal working. Thanks Steve!
My man Steve!!
It's all I use
Right on Mick...
I'll try that. I had no probs with the bench grinder on flat blades but these blades with curves are a major PIA.
Right on
what i have been using all year, & a balancer. I must have saved a few $100.00 sharpening my own blades this year.
Right on
I'll have to try this for real. Thanks.
Your the BEST ! !
Thank You...
Steve ....................side grinder for me !!!
Steve, I just watched your “Easy Trjck to Tighten a Pull Rope in my tiller. I loved everything you said as the description let me know I was proceeding correctly for good results. 💓Thanks ever do much.
You're Welcome...
Pretty much anything you can attach to an angle grinder works well. Balance after sharpening.
Been doing it that way for years, works great👍🏻
Hey👋SteveO, I just converted this year to the flap disks and you're right brother, so much easier than a grinder! My blades were bad so I started w/80grit then to 120grit.👍👍
And I'll drink 🍻 to that!
You the man SteveO!
Thanks Jay!
I've been using flapper discs almost exclusively for general purpose for a couple of years now. They are as my main man Steve pointed out, the shiznit!
Right on Josh!
That’s all I ever used . Even on my large commercial mowers 😊
Right on
Flapper Discs are the Shiznit Brother! I use those a lot! Great video Steve!
I keep a cordless grinder and a flap wheel in the truck just for those " peculiar " customers . How often do sharpen your blades? Right now right in front of your house !!!
I too have been doing it this way
A 3M cubitron sanding belt sharpens anything better than anything. It leaves even kitchen knives like razors.
The difference between holding the piece your grinding while the grinder is stationary and holding the grinder while the piece is stationary. Much more movement with a Angel grinder and the work piece in the vice
I have been using them on blades for a good while and they produce excellent results and if you go nice and steady they do not take off too much material.
I agree!
Have been sharpening my blades like that for quite awhile now. Works great ! 👍🏻
Been doing it this way for 6 years now much better way of doing it
Right on
I seldom use a grinding wheel or bench grinder for anything. Flap disks are amazing.
I agree!
My buddy showed me that trick years ago and I felt as if I’d unlocked a super power… holy crap it’s so much easier.
Very cool! 🙂
Thank you! Cheers!
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon flappers don't beat the blade up nearly as much as a wheel and get great results!
Considering that they are used in metalworking its a pretty good tool for grinding metal lol
Yessir 40 grit flap disco the best
They are great and gets the job done fast!
I agree!
💯 been using them for years
Flap wheel works but a belt grinder is the best solution. 4X36 or 2X48 or if all you have is a bench gtinder then try using 2 ofr 3 of those green silicone oxide wheels that come with the grinder
Wavy bade I grind it straight and then put the edge on
Some of these lawn mower blade are so hard and thick and need a 30 degree angle which can be around a 3/8 wide on a thick blade. Those flapper wheels is good for a finish but I use a 7 inch grinder wheel which hogs it off fast. You need to clamp your blade to a vise or clamp to something else. I clamp mine to my loader bucket and grind my blades out side cause it just makes to much of a mess in the garage doing 3 or 6 blades at once. Some thin push mower blades you can get away with a 4 and 1/2 flapper disc. I use the hard 7 inch cutting blade as they last a much longer time. Then if you want a smoother finish you can use a 4 and 1/2 inch flap and with a little better control to make it shine if you like that kind of finish. Which is usually what I do.
I use my Dremel with an attachment specifically designed for keeping the angle on the mower blade perfect .. with a grinding tip in the Dremel. Super fast, consistent and takes off very little at a time extending the life of the blade.
I use angle grinder, quick,accurate angle easy to balance!
I use a small angle grinder with a 4 1/2 inch disk. I would like to try the flapper disk just to see the difference
Flapper disc are the best been using them for about a decade
great used mine for years
Steve, you're the sharpest knife in the draw!!!!!
Thank You...
Been using them for about 5 years now.
Right on
I started using a 1" bench sander and I'll never go back.
Grabbed a 10 pack of 40 grit Steve! I suck with the bench grinder too!!
Right on Keith!
All I ever use!
Right on
I use a flap disc for a lot of coarse sharpening. sharpening with file/stones for finer sharpening and small blades like knives
