Has anyone sharpened lawn mower blades with this sharpener?

I have not but I have sharpened my hatchet blade with it and I would think that it would work as well on a mower blade. Normally, I use a grinder for mower blades and hatchet. After grinding the rough edges off of the hatchet, I finished it off with the Work Sharp and got a good edge for making kindling.

I do use Accu Sharp tools. Technically, no, you do not have to remove the blade. But, putting the blade in a vice would be more effective. Also, this particular tool, while very good for outdoor knives, trowels, and thinner metal tools, is not all that effective for thick, hardened metal tools such as lawn mower blades, shovels, etc. But, give it a shot, and let us know how it went.

I think it is fantastic. I have a big finish mowing deck on my farm tractor. I do a quick sharpen before every other mowing without removing any blades. Simple, convenient, good results.

I use an accu-sharp knife and tool sharpener. It does a fantastic job on this particular blade. When you see one; the way it is used is pretty self-explanatory.

Mike: I have not used it to sharpen mower blades, but I am sure it would work just fine. I don't know of a jig that can be used, but even by hand it should work just fine, unless you want to sharpen rotary blades. In that case, not a clue.

use a reel mower sharpening kit, which is basically a tub of grinding compound and a crank, quite easy to use, just follow the instructions and

Purchased this at end of season. So have not had to sharpen it. I did purchase the sharpener for it. These mowers usually last for years. I live near Amish country and I know they use and sharpen them.

I have not sharpened it. It stays sharp for a long time. To see about sharpening the blade, look at the reviews for the Oxo mandoline on Amazon. There are several comments that discuss sharpening the blade.

Your question prompted me to try sharpening a couple bread knives and they did sharpen up. This iis a powerful sharpener and you have to be cateful with rhe sharpened knives afterwards.

These only cost around 100 dollars and they sell blade sharpening kits. I just bought this and started using it last fall. It is still super sharp. I love mowing with this more each time. So easy and fast compared to the loud, hard to start gas mowers I have used up until now.

It didn't work well for me either. I took off a lot of steel shavings using it but it was never razor sharp. Try a stone. I wonder if you run it through their sharpener then a stone if it doesn't sharpen up quick.

I am not sure but I would think so. If there is a flat bar that the blades touch as they go around, then the answer is yes. Basically, this stuff is like liquid sandpaper. When the blades go past the bar the liquid with the grit in it grinds against the blades and sharpens them. It takes 20 min or so, but I sharpened the blades on my mower at the beginning of the summer and they're still sharp

No. I used it as received. It seemed plenty sharp to me for a lawnmower blade.

I did not change blades and it works just fine. Only time I have had any problems is with wet grass.
