Very instructive video. One thing you did not mention is sharpening the blades evenly so that they are balanced. If you take more material off one end of the blade than the other, vibration will occur. I work around this problem by counting the number of even passes I make on each end. I used to use a blade balancer after each sharpening to ensure they were indeed balanced. However, by utilizing the counting method I found that the blades were balanced every time. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. On my way to pick up a 60 grit flap disk.
My method has always been very crappy or having someone else do it lol so when I looked up how to correctly sharpen...your video came up and I have learned so much! Thank you
IT IS ALWAYS ADVISE TO KEEP THE BLADES BALANCED.

Honestly, the best video I have ever watched on how to do this... I mean I spend countless hours and dollars taking blades to be sharpened... no more!
Unless you get one of those expensive sharpening jigs, flap disc and angle grinder is absolutely the best method for sharpening mower blades.
Extremely helpful!
LOL All the ppe safety equipment and you break the number one rule with a angle grinder! Don't set a angle grinder down on the disk when plugged in!
I've always used a bastard mill file but I might give this a go
This should save you a many hours of a sharpenin'
yes my method is different in that I clean the residue and coat the whole blade with paint to reduce rust.
Great Video..... Sometimes I mark the cutting blade with a black sharpie,.... so that I can clearly see where I'm removing material.
Great detailed video! Thanks for sharing. I'll be using a flap disc instead of grinding wheel from now on. 👍🏿

Good job providing the important details! Thx
Thanks for a great video
Very good tutorial 👌
i set my lawn mower blade on the angle 30 deg, so that grinding surface is flat
How do you clamp them down at a 30 degree angle?
combustion engine, electric motor.
Excellent detail. Thanks
Perfect video
I do mine same way you do!😊
