Sharping Blade
Must my Lawn Mower Blade be Sharp as a Knife?
Curious: I just got my lawn mower blade sharpened by some mechanic but on touch it doesn’t feel very sharp. I mean, must my lawn Mower Blade be so sharp that it feels like a cutting knife’s surface?
Can i go to a home hardware store and buy a special kind of Filer so i can sharpen the blade myself? What kind of filer must i get?
No, your blade does not need to be razor sharp. Chances are, once you run it, you’ll hit something that will dull it a little, anyway.
You could go get a metal file, but it would be a lot of work because you have to take the blade off to work on it. If you flip the
mower over to sharpen the blade, the oil will leak out and mess things up. Then you may have trouble with balancing the blade.
Even a dull blade will work. It doesn’t ‘cut’ more than rips the grass off.
