All American Sharpener - Shim Screws

[@Dial430]

Great timing and excellent content! I just received my model 5002 and wondered what the shim screws were? Before I could investigate, bam! This video appears and explains and demonstrates the shim screws. This is why the All-American sharpener is the best. Engineered to adjust to those quirky lawn mower blade designs that sneak in to try to thwart the perfect 30 degree sharpening angle.

Ah, thanks. That's good to hear. We've been meaning to get this video done for a bit, so we're glad it was helpful.

You guys put out great instructional videos! Thanks

Thank you! We appreciate the kind words.

Thanks for the quick reply. Now all I have to do is decide which one to buy. I will look at your website. Thanks again.

Sweet! Time to get some blades sharpened!

HI Guys, in another video you talk about the Toro blades the have a lift on each side of the blade and that you will have to adjust the sharpener for that lift. Do you have an instructional video like this one for the those types of blades?

We do not have that video made yet, but it is on our list of things to do. Basically you just back out the 4 vise screws equally, which will raise them up so they fit over the sides of the blade. Similar to what you see done in this video to the 2 vise screws on the right side of the head. You would also back out the 2 vise screws on the left side of the head.
