Just a quick sharpening tip to add to this excellent video. Majority of grass is cut further out on end of blade. If you have sharpened your blade and still off balance, do not continue to shave off metal on your blade tip ends. Instead, grind off the extra weight(metal) from the inside blade edge. Just be careful not too grind too much and overheat the metal which can damage the temper of the blade metal.
Thanks for posting this video, after watching the video, I purchased RBG 712 BLAD SHARPENER , I had Weingartz Landscaping order me one it was little over 550.00 got it in 3 days after ordering it. This video eliminated trial and error for me,got the best from the start. Thanks again
Mr Brian! You are amazing with those blades! I have an older man who sharpens my blades for $5 each! Perfect balance and I've cut my finger twice this season when changing them!
Hey Brian just got my BRG 712 delivered on Friday and did all of my blades Friday afternoon!!! What a difference!!!! I dropped an hour off sharing my blades so the BRG 712 is going to save me soooo!!! Much time sharping blades!!! Oh ya l run 80% of my blades are mulching blades and the BRG 712 has no problem sharpening them!! Best review and tool suggestions ever!!!! Thanks buddy see you in the next video
Just a note. I have a wire wheel on my grounder and clean the blades first, then I check the balance before I sharpen them. It does take extra time and I mark the blade if it is not balanced. Being just a home owner with several acres to mow I purchased the all American one and have be very happy with the results.
I purchased the MAG-8000 Universal Lawn Mower Blade Sharpener a couple years ago and it works great. The dealer showed me how to use it, they kept a bucket of water next to the machine to cool the blades down if you have to take a lot of material off. Once i get the blades at the right angle, it only takes me about 10 seconds each side. I try to change them every day or about every 20 lawns cut. You can also use it to sharpen mulching blades.thanks for all the videos, keep up the good work.
Nice video Brian I bought one of those blade sharpeners a month ago I love mines I have great dealer support and my grip collector was given to me free
That American Sharpener unit is great. Welders clamp, spare disk, and the hex key and you can touch up blades on the fly anywhere/anytime. Fits in a boot box. Several angles to choose from. Love it. Light and mobile is the way to go.
That’s a great machine for you contractors and big mower shops to save time and money I will have to stick to my Angle grinder as the cost of it but thanks for sharing it to people
I brought the 712 with the grit collector last year and haven't looked back. It was a good investment and it seems like I get more life out of a blade. You will love it. Lanier talked me into it and it was well worth the money because time is money!
I’ve been wanting to make this purchase I’ve used a table grinder from Harbor Freight for years when not enuff time to run to dealer and I 100% agree w ya on the quality of what I’m only able to produce w the Table grinder. I’ve proly ruined a few sets over the years I only last year seen this model in the video other then Wht they use at the dealer I go to. This video has sealed the deal for me and shows me I will be able to use it no problem and like you said It will pay for itself within one season I usually drop off about 5or6 sets of blades and sometimes don’t get them back for a wk or so. Ty for the video Brian keep up the great vids ✔️
Have seen a lot of videos on different blade sharpeners, the problem with all blades is the tip wears down faster since it die most of the cutting. Would like to see a manual mill sharpening blades and cutting the edge vs adding heat and removing the temper out of the blade. Just a thought. 13:29
I have the RBG 934. I got it on sale but it was still big bucks... and the discs are expensive too but I really like it. You can flip the disc around to get more sharpenings out of it since the for awhile the back side is only used to take the burrs off of the blades.
Great video, Brian. Thanks for posting. I have the Oregon blade sharpener and the Oregon wall mounted balancer. Never looked back, been happy with the performance of both. However, that RBG-712 looks pretty sweet. I probably would have bought that if it was available 6 years ago.
I purchased the 712 last year love it. As a side hustle I put out an ad that I sharpened blades for $5 per blade. All the other people in my area charge 7 to $8 per blade. It's turning out to be a good side hustle.
@@LambeauLeeeper weird im not seeing that. The device just holds it for you. What kind of disc are you using? ill have to double check im just using some thing like an 80 grit grinding disc
Thanks to you I discovered and purchased the All American Sharpener from a previous vid. More budget friendly for me. I am a one man crew and mow 50 lawns per week. Maybe next year I will step up!
I use the magnet Matic. I think it’s great. The wheel lasts a long time. I just changed it after like four years and we sharpen a ton of blades, but I also want to buy one of these to see if it will show up in a little bit faster.
💯% Brian, I Have the RBG 712 also and I have been sharpening all my Blades for 2 seasons with it & I Love it 👍🏻 .... Best Grinder I have Owned, in my Humble Opinion. Thanks for Sharing Brother, Take Care and Be Safe Out Their 🇺🇸
I’ve had the 9" model for 3 years now and I love it and the discs last a LONG time! The Wall Enterprises sharpeners aren’t cheap but they’re worth the money spent.
Okay Brian. Due to your recommendation I decided to buy this. While I had to order it from 3 different places (the 1st 2 places were out of stock)this thing is a beast. I love it. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Does this work with mulching blades that have two different edges to at different angles on each side? I always have difficulty with the edge that does not sit flat on a jig
Hi Brian, how about the longevity of the sharpening disc. I know with a flap disc on a grinder I'm only getting about 3 blades worth of sharpening before changing it out. I seen these discs were $100 for 2 so no Im just checking be that they will last quite awhile before purchasing.
The discs for my RBG 934 last for about 100 sharpenings. I flip the disc around to use the back side since it doesn’t get used but to just take odd burrs for awhile.
@@BergEquipment I don’t have the exact count but I’d say it’s at least 100 sharpenings per side. I’m STILL on my first side of my first disc after three seasons on my 9" model like I said and I mow around 30 lawns in the summer months and I’m in a rural area where there’s lots of gravel that I hit often with the blades. I’ve had three different blade sharpeners and my Wells RBG 934 is the best of all of them. And also I don’t go light on the grinding, I lean into it pretty hard and the blade stays fairly cool yet doing so.
@@hermancm Thanks for the info, that's not bad at all. I'm torn between the RBG 934 and the Magna-Matic Mag-9000 currently for our equipment repair shop.
@@BergEquipment There’s a 934 on eBay now for $769 shipped, not too bad of a deal and he is taking offers so you should be able to get a little better of a price in it. You can get new discs for around $50 each with a little looking online. Wells has been making blade sharpeners for over 45 years now so I don’t think we have to worry about them folding anytime soon.
That looks tempting to get, maybe next season I’ll get a RBG-712. Between the Bradley blade sharpener and the Dayton belt grinder I already have a bundle into sharpeners but I like tools for the trade. I’ll have to give it some thought as I’m doing fine with what I have now although neither of my two sharpeners are the perfect choice when it comes to how they perform. Thanks for the informative video again Brian. You do a good job producing your vids. Mark from Marks Lawn Care, Winter WI.
@@BriansLawnMaintenance ik i cheaped out too. I bought my Oregon sharpener about 5 years ago before I knew about the rbg grinder. the only other grinder I knew about was the Magna matic and that was $900 I believe. But I'm ordering a rbg 712 now lol
The right side of the rbg 712 is for grinding the backs of side discharging blades. I’ve had mine for 2 seasons and I actually enjoy blade sharpening day
Ok heres the deal..... lol On a serious note, thank you for not saying um and uh non stop. I was able to watch this video. Have you seen the Oregon belt grinder? Model 88-101 It’s the fastest and best sharpener I’ve used. I used to use the magnamatic.
They work really nice I have one, every pass you make on the end and not towards the middle you’re taking off marital you’re going to end up with a sharp pointy blade 😂 you have to make full passes 👍🏼. Great video. SUPERIOR LAWN AND SNOW ❄️ 💪🏼
How does the RBG 712 work on blades with variance of angles for example, mulching blades. I noticed in your video the blade looked like a standard “ straight” blade.
Just purchased the 712 and put a sign in the front of the driveway. Mower chainsaw and knife sharpening. Needs to hurry up and get here. 9 sets already dropped off at 4 a blade
I have a auto repair shop welding fabrication and repair shop out of my home and 1st in lawn care after selling my business 15 yrs ago 100 miles east of where I live now. Figured sharpening others pay for it so I can sharpen mine for free. Kind of how my lawn care company restarted. Came home from the oil field and decided to cut my own so needed the mower we have 6.5 of the 23 acres we cut. So needed a big mower. Well others should pay for it lol
i just ran into this in my recommended , i have somthing just like this that i welded up i have 2 different angles on it i use those ceramic disk from norton the disk are 5inch they are mounted to a 2 hp well pump motor . damn maby i need to make some more of them and sell them 500$ for this jeez lol .
For DIY'ers and budgeted homeowners... this is easily recreated with an old bench grinder. A very nice product that can be made for a fraction of the price.
Burr King. Definately the best way to sharpen blades. Not affordable for the average homeowner or lawn care professional. But if your in the service business, hands down the best.
When using the sharpener make sure to pull the blade out straight otherwise you round the outside edge of the blade. You want the blade shape but you don't want that outside cutting edge rounded.👍👍 love mine!
@@BriansLawnMaintenance If you put the blade flat on the angled guide and tip the front of the blade up or down so that you have an even reveal front to back against the grinding wheel with the cutting edge, prior to putting the blade into the grinder then You won't round the edge. If that makes sense.. Basically, if you pull the front of the blade away from the grinding disk while it's being pulled through then it will put pressure on the back outside edge and it will round it off and If you push the blade too far into the disk on the wrong plane it will miss material on the outside edge. Practice makes perfect, took me a while to get it right! . Great videos. I wish you much luck and success Brian! Be well my friend!
Funny, on OMBWarehouse the 9" discs are a few bux cheaper than the 7" ones and I’d think you could get more sharpenings out of the bigger disc. That’s the one I have.
I got the All American but I only sharpen 4 blades weekly. Maybe if I get another couple sets of blades and a second rider I might have to upgrade to a different grinder but so far I think the All American does the job. It doesn't get that great of an edge on older blades in my opinion but it is a lot better than me doing it by hand.
That's why we use a Magnamatic 8000. It can sharpen mulching blades. We run all our machines with mulching kits. Biggest complaint with the sharpener is having to adjust the wheel down frequently to keep the angle just right. I like the way this RBG has a cradle to sit blade in but that would not work with a mulching blade.
I've watched a few of your videos and others, just trying to get started and working with a budget. I like the all American it's in my budget and looks like a decent tool, what is your outtake on the yellow hornet if you have one for this is in my budget as well and to me looks like it would be a little more stable and eliminate wearable parts. Both are in my budget just uncertain which way to go.
I’m a firm believer in investing in my business. When it’s something that makes my job easier and or just makes sense for the business to me it’s money well spent. That blade sharpener makes perfect sense. Also time is money.
I'm no were close to being able to buy this....but it sounds like what I'm looking for. Was never impressed with the blade sharpener that either of my former bosses had...so I use a right angle doe grinder...but thus sounds like the real deal.
Yeah we’ve basically sold them out for the last 12 months.. I’m in talks with them periodically to work on a partnership. They’re a small business and just overwhelmed lol. My bad.
Hey if people ask, and we can have those conversations, then maybe! Thanks for suggesting. I really do try to go to batt for you guys, heck even for me too so we can all save a few bucks. Every bit adds up!

Just a quick sharpening tip to add to this excellent video. Majority of grass is cut further out on end of blade. If you have sharpened your blade and still off balance, do not continue to shave off metal on your blade tip ends. Instead, grind off the extra weight(metal) from the inside blade edge. Just be careful not too grind too much and overheat the metal which can damage the temper of the blade metal.

You can use a wire brush attachment on the angle grinder to buff off the grass buildup.

@@BriansLawnMaintenance can it be adjusted or is it fixed
Look into bur king. There not cheap but faster and dont take as much of the blade . About 3 passes and you can almost shave with them
You look so relaxed 😅
I just went to Harbor Freight & picked up a small bench grinder for like $30 bucks. It may not be as pretty but it does the job.

I wonder how it will work on curved mulching blades. Oem John Deere.
Put a strong magnet on back of your grit collector helps it collect.
How does it work on mulching blades?
We don’t run mulching blades so I’m not sure! Perhaps you can do the straight edge with the RBG and touch up the rest with an angle grinder.
It works on mulching blades. Just have get familiar with the tool and figure it out.
I got mine on ebay with collecter for 449 from russo
How does the RBG 712 work on blades with variance of angles for example, mulching blades. I noticed in your video the blade looked like a standard “ straight” blade.

That's why we use a Magnamatic 8000. It can sharpen mulching blades. We run all our machines with mulching kits. Biggest complaint with the sharpener is having to adjust the wheel down frequently to keep the angle just right. I like the way this RBG has a cradle to sit blade in but that would not work with a mulching blade.

Nothing more frustrating than sharpening blades without the right equipment. I’m sold!
Or buying the wrong equipment!! I wish I got this one 8 years ago ha
Looks awesome! Do you know if dealers always balance the blades when the sharpen them?
I doubt it.
Most don't
Thanks, good to know that! Another benefit of sharpening them yourself.
Brian, what about mulching and high lift blades?
I don’t believe so just because their beveled / wavy

All of my mowers have mulching kits on them. How well does this work on mulching blades?
Not the best I believe. You will probably need an angle grinder for those

I've watched a few of your videos and others, just trying to get started and working with a budget. I like the all American it's in my budget and looks like a decent tool, what is your outtake on the yellow hornet if you have one for this is in my budget as well and to me looks like it would be a little more stable and eliminate wearable parts. Both are in my budget just uncertain which way to go.
I’m a firm believer in investing in my business. When it’s something that makes my job easier and or just makes sense for the business to me it’s money well spent. That blade sharpener makes perfect sense. Also time is money.
Looks like a great product. Question , how do you sharpen the inner portion of the blade that was missed in the video ?
The outer 2-3” is all that really wears.
I'm no were close to being able to buy this....but it sounds like what I'm looking for. Was never impressed with the blade sharpener that either of my former bosses had...so I use a right angle doe grinder...but thus sounds like the real deal.
I already love it
Nice video... not sure if they are that popular or went out of business. I couldn't find one for sale anywhere!! Not at Amazon or even eBay. ....
Yeah we’ve basically sold them out for the last 12 months.. I’m in talks with them periodically to work on a partnership. They’re a small business and just overwhelmed lol. My bad.
Blah blah blah blah.....let's see the damn thing work. I gave up at the nearly half way mark.
Anyone know what the sharpening pitch is on the blades for the Kubota Z-411 ??
Most blades 30 degrees!
@@BriansLawnMaintenance Thanks Brian :)
We need a brians 10.... get on it help us bring the price down
Hey if people ask, and we can have those conversations, then maybe! Thanks for suggesting. I really do try to go to batt for you guys, heck even for me too so we can all save a few bucks. Every bit adds up!
Brian that would be good
Yeah that might get me to pull the trigger on this tool.
Hey Brian, how well do you like the redtech throttle system on your laser z?
It's great, I don't think much about it, but I do like having the smart tech on the unit.
@@BriansLawnMaintenance im thinking about buying one. I just wanted your opinion on you liked it.
Don’t you loose the anodized coating heating them up with a grinder wheel?
Great question!
