does it sharpen lawn mower blades

No, it probably won't sharpen lawn mower blades well. The part that does the sharpening is shaped like a "V", whereas a lawn mower blade is more blunt. However, if you were to grind a lawnmower blade down to a knife-edge, it probably would work!

I do believe you can do so, but must say I have not tried one myself. It will sharpen almost any edge you want, axe.s, lawn mower blades, scissors, gut-hook knives also. Hope this helps out..es

It should sharpen it without any issue. I have sharpened several pocket knives, 3" and up. Also, a few 10" kitchen knives.

I haven't sharpened a lawnmower blade, but I would think that you WOULD have to remove the blade to shapen it. I don't think that there would be enough space between the blade and the mower housing to do otherwise. I can't try it because I don't have a rotary mower. I use a reel mower.

yes the course grit will work quickly and put a fine, lasting edge on your lawn mower blades(you will have to do your part ~> which requires effort) but I've no doubt you know that. ABOUT THE STONES - THEY ARE EXCELLENT YOU WILL BE WELL PLEASED

I would not assume that it does even though it comes with a generous supply of adapters. Best to contact the blade maker or Lawnboy.

It uses a special combination blade. This is the first time I have ever seen a blade like this. It has the normal cutting edges on the outermost part of blade then behind that it has upturned forks that I guess mulch the grass. The blade works well I've used the mower about 10 time this season now, and the cuttings are very fine and I have not sharpened the blade at all. Hope this answers your question

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.

Yes, my son has sharpened bush hog blades with it and they are a LOT bigger than lawn mower blades.

I think the replacement blade is listed on their website but after having this mower for 3 years I have never needed one. If you have a dremel, you can flip the mower on it's side and sharpen the blade in 5 minutes. It's very easy. I do it twice a season and it's good as new. If you hit something big though you will need a new blade.

The American Lawn Mower Co. sells a kit for reel type mowers, which is sold by Amazon. Most users claim sharpening every couple years.

Yes, it does. I have used it to sharpen serrated and non-serrated blades and it does an equally good job with both.

It has a suction cup base, you could mount it on your counter nearby and swipe it once or twice as needed, it definitely will sharpen them. It will shave a small amount of steel off each time.

You have a lot of blade to cover. I think it would depend on how you define "quickly". This is a very fast way to put an edge on large knives, and it would work on a mower in a matter of minutes. I would think that a bench grinder wheel would be the ideal solution for a mower blade. This would get you a very sharp edge, but it might take a little longer.

Great for knives. Lawn mower blade would probably use up the sharpening medium too quick. You would be better off with a grinding wheel (solid wheel). Use this only for finishing.

Blades already come sharpened with a factory edge on them. The design of these blades are made to mulch the grass better, I never used them to know since I sold my John Deere tractor that I installed them on. There are three different blades, standard blade for using side discharge, high lift blades for using a bagger attachment, and a mulching blade for recutting blades of grass. If your comparing this Gator blade to a standard mulching blade then the answer is yes from what I have read.

I bought a sharpening kit at the same time I bought the mower. I read the instructions in the kit and it looks simple. The mower says it should last several years without needing to be sharpened, but I know some people have said you should sharpen it each season....I suppose it depends on how big your yard is, the time of grass, how often you mow, etc....
