Can I use this device to sharpen a lawn mower blade? Thanks

I used the Corona AC 8300 Sharpening Tool on my pruning shears and it works well I also used it to straighten and sharpen the Digging Bar edge I even used it once to sharpen a dull food processor blade, you may need to use a file first on the mower blade then finish it with the corona.

It would be a little small for that. You'd be much better off using a grinder of some sort for a lawn mower blade.

you certainly can use the grinding disc to sharpen mower blades. we do it all the time at our shop.

Without a question, it can be used, but it would take a lot of work. You would need to do the machete in segments, holding the field work sharpener in your and working the blade in short segments. The Work Sharp electric belt sharpener would be a much better choice for sharpening large blades. The field sharpener works great for knives with blades up to six or seven inches. I have even used mine to touch up an eight inch chef's knife with no problems.

Right off the top, I would say no. But I have never tried it. I use mine to sharpen all my planner blades and it does a very good job. I keep my blades razor sharp. I have a small belt type sharpener that I use for my hedge blades.

Purchased this at end of season. So have not had to sharpen it. I did purchase the sharpener for it. These mowers usually last for years. I live near Amish country and I know they use and sharpen them.

No, not with this sharpener. The blades are to thick and not set at the right angle. Get him a bench grinder or a 4 1/2 in. hand grinder. I use the hand grinder and it works great. $15 at Harbor Freight if you have one close. Hope this helps.

This blade is too long for a whetstone & the blade has a step down which may be difficult to sharpen with a tool, though it would probably work best. A grinder will take off a lot material and make a straight edge hard to keep.

The question you should ask is will it sharpen it correctly and with the desired result. Yes on both accounts. Like most tools, the more you use the quicker it is.

I have never used it to sharpen scalpels, etc but I do not see why not -- other than eventually wearing away the metal. The finishing triangular rods are very fine. The big advantage of the sharpener is that you gently pull the blade toward you with the blade straight up & down - so you don't have to try to guesstimate the proper degree angle. It's very effective and the mirror finish on the grind is obvious.

I am not sure but I would think so. If there is a flat bar that the blades touch as they go around, then the answer is yes. Basically, this stuff is like liquid sandpaper. When the blades go past the bar the liquid with the grit in it grinds against the blades and sharpens them. It takes 20 min or so, but I sharpened the blades on my mower at the beginning of the summer and they're still sharp

see if you can download the user manual, as it shows you EVERYTHING you can sharpen. To answer your question though, yes.

No it only sharpens the blades that come with it... that is why I returned it.

I wouldn't waste my time on trying to sharpen it. Buy a new one. You won't believe the difference in using a new one compared to the old one.

I don't think it's the right machine for lawn mower blades. I expect it would sharpen the blade, but, would put the wear and tear of sharpening dozens of knives the on belt, and machine. A Hand or bench grinder would be much faster and cost effective.

For a razor blade, yes. I've used it to sharpen the blades of my broadheads which are just like a razor blade.

I would advise against it. It is not designed for swords. Small to medium size folding knives and/or fixed blades, this sharpener works well.
