[Shop-talk] lawnmower blades

[Elton E. (Tony) Clark]

*I and several of my buddies have excellent luck with the little 4 inch disc
grinders as blade sharpeners . . If you have lots of heavy grinding to do, a
good one from Makita or DeWalt is a smart purchase . . For lawn mower
blades, a $10 Chinese one from Harbor Freight is adequate . . We HAVE
learned to take the HF gearbox  apart and pack with soft grease like
Lubriplate . . . many are shipped almost dry.  Also, throw the original
grind disc away and buy a good Norton or Foley . . they cut four times
faster.*
