Flap disc on a grinder works well for me but you do have to be careful to not overheat the blade so I usually keep a bucket of water close by to cool it after a few passes especially if the blade is really blunt and needs a lot of material taken off to get the edge back 👍🏼

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Great tips

[@buttonman6262]

I’ve tried everything from sharpening stone to bench grinder but find it’s much better to just use a file.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

A file is as good as any

[@Jordan.E]

I use a 80 grit flappy disk on the angle grinder and the old nail in a wall for balancing 💯

[@Premier_lawns_official]

👌👍🙂

Angle of the blade ~30° ? At least it was on a replacement blade i bought. The original angle was altered by my filing.

[@DNWARR1]

Had one for years and check every time I sharpen my mower blade

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Perfect 👍👍👍

[@brianconnor1810]

Flappy disc always👍

[@Premier_lawns_official]

👍👍👍

[@jeetinderthiara265]

Great video guys and perfect timing! I purchased a new blade off Amazon last year, said to be already sharpened but upon fixing on the same way as original blade it seems to be ripping the grass as the tips were jagged. Upon switching around I had the same issue which I assume means the blade is not pre-sharpened. Now I'm not sure which way around the blade goes/rotates, any tips or tricks on determining which way around the blade needs to be fitted (it's an old Mountfield sp164 petrol if that helps)? Thanks!

Not sure, but I know of someone who will be able to help you especially if you say I sent you over there. Mick is your man youtube.com/@themowerman?si=6n_qMY-MD4YeFN8h

[@themowerman]

Just how I do it.. flappy disc is perfect... 80 grit

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Hey Mick, nice to see you over here. This one is right up your street. Happy Easter pal

[@themowerman]

@@Premier_lawns_official and the same to you mate ... I try to support as many channels as I can..

[@mikebaxter247]

Nothing beats a flap disc, and you will sharpen your blades more when it's easy

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

Good tips mate. Blades aren’t cheap so get as much as you can out of them.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

It's a pretty basic thing that a lot of folks don't know how to do, just trying to show how easy it is

[@eugeniucastravet4222]

SMASHHHH!!!👏👏👏⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@Premier_lawns_official]

💪💪💪🙂

[@pillockmacpillock2463]

I balance mine on a nail.

[@dg5476]

I like to use a Drenmel with sharpening stone bits.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

That works well too 👍

[@AdamRogers3091]

Great vid! And…. What if you don’t have a vice? 😅

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Buy one 😂

[@AdamRogers3091]

@@Premier_lawns_official fair reply 😂

[@myk6694]

So an unbalanced blade, you will feel more vibration from the mower

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Yes 100 percent

[@hectorpascale1013]

And possibly damaging the crankshaft bearings
