To sharpen lawn mower blades, follow these steps:
Safety first: Disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting or remove battery from electric lawn mower. Also, wear work gloves to protect your hands.
Remove the blade: Tilt the lawn mower on its side or stand it up if electric, making sure the air filter and carburetor are facing upward to prevent oil and gas leakage. Use a block of wood to secure the blade, and then use a wrench to remove the bolt holding the blade in place.
Clean the blade: Use a wire brush or a cloth to remove any debris or grass clippings stuck to the blade. It's important to have a clean surface before sharpening.
Inspect for damage: Check the blade for any cracks, chips, or other signs of damage. If the blade is severely damaged, it may need to be replaced instead of sharpened.
Sharpen the blade: You have a few options for sharpening the blade. The easiest method is to use a bench grinder. Start by securing the blade in a vise or clamp, and then carefully run the grinder along the cutting edge of the blade. Maintain a consistent angle and apply light pressure. If you don't have a bench grinder, you can use a hand file or a rotary tool with a sharpening attachment to sharpen the blade manually.
Balance the blade: After sharpening, it's important to balance the blade to prevent vibrations during operation. You can use a blade balancer, which is a cone-shaped tool that indicates if the blade is balanced. Place the blade on the balancer, and if one side tilts down, it means it's heavier. Use a file to remove a small amount of metal from the heavier end until the blade is balanced.
Reinstall the blade: Once the blade is sharpened and balanced, reattach it to the lawn mower in the reverse order of removal. Make sure to tighten the bolt securely, but be careful not to overtighten and damage the blade or the mower.
Test the mower: Reconnect the spark plug wire or install battery, and start the lawn mower to ensure that the blade is properly installed and functioning correctly.
By following these steps, you can effectively sharpen your lawn mower blades and ensure a clean and precise cut for your lawn. Remember to exercise caution and prioritize safety throughout the process.

YardBrah yesterday: “Sharpening blades is so stupid, just buy a new one”. YardBrah today: “Today, I will be showing you guys how to sharpen your own blades”. I’m dead bro. LOL

[@YardBrah]

😂😂😂 I mean I did say you eventually need an angle grinder right 😂😂😂🤙🏾

[@nint3ndad]

@@YardBrah I like how at the end of this video it recommends me the video where you said DONT sharpen the blades 😂😂

[@greggmelissawindrim6783]

Great job Brah ! Get a sanding disc they are more user friendly and leave a nicer edge, I use a 100 grit and get great results once a month.😁

[@YardBrah]

Thank you yes I’ll def get one next time I’m at harbor freight 😊👊🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾

[@NicolasMoore838]

(Total sarcasm) BUT YARDBRAH, you just said buy new…….. 😂 Brah, you need a workbench…. I like to “sharpie” the blade before I grind, it helps me see if my angle shifts during the pass. Yes, it adds time, but my 30 degree angle stays “truer” than when I don’t. 🤙🏻👍🏻👊🏻🔥💥🇺🇸

[@YardBrah]

😂😂😂 trolling all over KZbin 💀💀💀 yeah that’s smart def need to keep that 30° you told me about! 😊👊🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾

[@ClaytonGambrel]

That how i do mine but paint the surface that your going to do with a marker ect... So you can see where u hit

[@Kaysie04]

Music got me hyped to sharpen my blades 😂

[@YardBrah]

😂😂😂🤙🏾

[@darrickb1964]

I've been looking for one too who cares what brand it is you got it for 8 bucks great find

[@erikpena122]

Harbor freight Chicago brand if it works that’s all that counts get ur $$$ worth

[@YardBrah]

Dang I’m starting to see these damn pawn shops are charging close to retail I think the chicane is 14.99 brand new 😂😂😂🤙🏾

[@DaMidnitezorro]

Yard brah what reel mower do you recommend …🤷🏾‍♂️⁉️

[@YardBrah]

Hudson Star pga 11 blade greens mower for short grass and Ego electric mowers for taller grass 😊🙏🏾🤙🏾👊🏾

[@alceja3522]

Just sharpened my Honda last week ✔️ took a few minutes

[@YardBrah]

Nice! Yeah I love sharpening now 😂😊👊🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾

[@edh7492]

Nice work brah, get yourself a 120 grit flap disc and a vice 😎👌

[@YardBrah]

Flap disc for sure! 😊👊🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾

[@andrewkennedy9704]

Used a 40grit on mine and I think it cuts better then new

[@edh7492]

@@andrewkennedy9704 new blades are never sharp, I’d sharpen a new blade straight out the box. 40 grit is a bit too course unless you just use it to remove chips etc, 80 maybe ok but we mainly use 120 in the workshop 👍

[@andrewkennedy9704]

@@edh7492 fair enough. I just had 40grit on hand. If I need to redo it and need a disc I will try 120. I am just happy with the result I got with 40.

[@marksullivan3424]

Flap disc 💯 is the way to go. Takes off so little material

[@gibbysmalls4219]

Sweet. I got me a flap disk, grinder, and a c-clamp for twenty-four dollars a couple weeks ago. It's definitely a good investment.

[@Icantball67]

I’m curious how you got those blades that dinged and chipped in the first place??? Seriously I just found your channel and I live your energy! Keep it up!

[@ralphee2604]

It's from all the iron he puts down!... Those blades are strong, iron fortified!...

[@Blackcloud319]

What is the name of that manual reel mower you were using in the beginning of the video? Please and thank you👊🏽

[@volvomatt]

Chicago Electric comes from Harbor Freight. Not the best, but $8 is worth taking a chance.

[@YardBrah]

Took a chance and I’m impressed 😂😂😂🤙🏾

[@UnderConstruction3]

That thing is like $8 new!!!

[@igamingpublic]

god damn look at that sexy clean grass.

[@YardBrah]

😂😂😂 thank you my dude! 😊👊🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾

[@Striperman]

A reel Brah would have sharpened Kate with the grinder. So you are not as crazy as I hoped you were.🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏻💚🦸🏻‍♂

[@cjones3681]

Just bought me a cheap grinder last week and sharpened my blade for the first time. Yes, it was definitely fun hahaha

[@YardBrah]

😂😂😂 it’s a blast I’m gonna do it everyday 💀💀💀🤙🏾

[@PNWLawnGuy]

2 days away… July 15th is approaching 😳😳😳

[@scubatrucker6806]

If it works its a good angle grinder😊

[@YardBrah]

Thank you sir I like it! Time to get a flap disc 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾👊🏾

[@mikeo8890]

That's a good price for the grinder, be careful it's dangerous.

[@2Gr8Luey]

In the Yezzys! Wow!

[@YardBrah]

😂😂😂 love me some Yeezys in the grass 😂🤙🏾

[@MichaelThorne_za]

Brah, love it when people can make use of second hand goods, instead of always buying new. 🎉 Looking slick as always. Need to sharpen my blades now. 😂 Old school though, with a file as I don't have an angle grinder. 🔪

[@YardBrah]

Yessir!!! Why not I always find good bluray movies at the pawn shop my collection is growing 😂😂😂🤙🏾

[@TerranceSTL]

I have a harbor freight one 60 grit flat disk

[@mrRoverkane]

Evil laugh @1:54 😂

[@YardBrah]

😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀🤙🏾

[@jonathanhicks3342]

A flap disk is more forgivening

[@TerranceSTL]

14 dollars brand new 😂😂😂

[@matthewdaly7423]

You’re doing it wrong🤣😘

[@lefty5885]

I've always done that. It's the best and easiest way to sharpen not just a lawn mower blade but everything else. I, personally use both Makita and Milwaukee grinders and love them both the one thing about the Makita grinder is that it has different 6 different speeds whereas the Milwaukee is a single speed so if you're not a pro at handling a grinder the Makita is your best choice. A sharp blade is key to having a nice even cut.

[@DaytakTV]

Just did an EPIC overseed sesh with aerating, leveling and top dressing. How long should I wait before mowing? You are the Yard Yoda, but I just sharpened my blade and want to put it to WORK.

[@kento702]

Let's goooo!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@YardBrah]

Let’s go!!!!! 😂😊🤙🏾🙏🏾👊🏾

[@jbdoublewide8757]

sick monster garage vibez with the grinder and music

[@YardBrah]

😂😂😂 love that show! 😊🙏🏾🤙🏾👊🏾

[@wd6358]

Im now on the hunt for an angle grinder. St Augustine grass blades are so thick im making 3 passes. And thats no bueno in 105 degree weather. Good stuff as always!

[@kylek1252]

How often do you recommend sharpening blade? I was wondering why i had white tips on my blades of grass. Also what amp battery do you use with your mower?

[@HClightdude]

Why did I assume you were gonna sharpen a reel mower when I saw the title pop up on my phone?!

[@wayneessar7489]

Oregon makes a super premium balancer when your ready.

[@scrapzdaking]

The knee holding up well it seems 😂🤙🏽

[@joshuacolumbia8811]

Brah, love the sharp blades!! Different note, how do you deal with anxiety when waiting for seedlings to sprout when doing a test reno strip?

[@joshuacolumbia8811]

Looks like patience pay off, we have sprouts!!! Guess I need more confidence in "the process". Thanks for showing the way!! Cheers

[@ramonfelixxx]

Pefect timing

[@YardBrah]

😊👊🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾

[@patrickglaser1560]

The angle grinder is overkill, it'll heat up the steel and soften the metal

[@mikeo8890]

It doesn't matter, you can cool it off with oil that'll make it hard.

[@olov244]

my theory on angle grinders, everyone should have one, you'll find stuff to use it for once you have one

[@YardBrah]

For sure!!! Already thinking of ways to cut things 😂😂😂🤙🏾

[@pittwo]

👍 good job going to try it Also a little advice after using the torque wrench set it back to zero you shouldn’t leave it with torque the spring will eventually get stretched

[@YardBrah]

Oh thank you for the advice!!! I’m gonna rush home now to set it to 0 😂😂😂 never knew that thank you 😊🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
