can i use it to cut turf grass?

It is very hard to do. It has a hard time cutting through any grass. Is there a way to keep it on while using it? I know there is a safety feature with it, but it is hard to hold both buttons down to keep it running at the same time.

I don't know about turf grass but I tried cutting some overgrown, thick regular grass and it was like cutting a tough piece of meat with a butter knife.

I read 2 comments from 2 ladies. You have to pace yourself & cut slowly.then you will do a good job. I can get up to 40 minutes of trimming. I have 2 Black & decker trimmers. I can trim y entire yard.

Hi! I don't know. I don't have turf grass but I have used it to trim very thick weeds and branches. I hope this helps!

Of course you can. By turf grass I assume you mean nice thick grass. My lawn is thick & close to walls, a fence, trees & shrubs. I put on knee pads & kneel to trim. My Black & Decker has a 4 in. Cut. Trim slowly & you will do a good job. I have a self propelled walk behind mower. There is a 4 in. space from the tip of the mower blade to the right side of the mower wheel. The height of the grass from my Black & Becker & the height of the grass from my lawn mower is perfect. Nice thick turf.

I don't know if it will work on artificial turf. It works great on brick pavers and concrete picking up large leaves small sticks, sand and dirt.

You don't have to worry about this blade cutting any type grass - I have cut 1/2" saplings with it, BUT they do say to use it horizonally only, not for use as an edging tool.

Definitely! I purchased the yard turf for thatching but surprising it does more than thatch. It's a good investment.

If you want to just trim the grass you should be okay. If you have to get down to the roots where dirt is, that tends to keep the tool from cutting as well.

Yes it can. Both mowers are good. I tried both. The SPCM1936 is terrible in moist grass. It's best in dry. I have a big lawn the charge was long enough to finish either the back or the front yard. I ended up buying a riding lawn mower.

Yes. I'm currently using it on mine. Though I probably wouldn't buy it again. For some reason that I can't figure out, it leaves small strips of uncut grass whenever the grass is heavy. Never had that problem before with a plain mulching blade.

It would cut tall ornamental grass. We have used it to contain/shape fast growing vines and hedges. Blades so far remain very sharp

it should but be careful because its very sticky. It works great with rugs so it should work great for the turf as well.

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.

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!

No, this is just made to use for edging and cutting grass when you rotate the blade. You will have to look for a small roto tiller like this, copy and paste link: Mantis 7225-00-02 2-Cycle Gas-Powered Tiller/Cultivator (CARB Compliant)

No, you should buy a hay rake for that. Or see if a neighbor can do it for you. There is a huge difference between grass clippings and hay.

there is a special tool sharpening attachment that will specifically handle lawnmower blades. Work Sharp WSSAKO81111 Tool Grinder Attachment

Yes it will just the same as if it were grass. This blade will cut your grass very low and do a fairly good job of getting the moss too.

I have not, but I own the tool, and I live near beaches. If you are talking about beach grass, I think you'd spend a lot of time disentangling the grass. I found it excellent for breaking up ordinary grass for new flower beds or vegetable plantings when I only need a small area. It has a reasonable amount of power, but long grass tangles in the prongs. Mow first.

We use ours to cut Bermuda Grass which it does fine. My wife who is the turf expert thinks it would cut St. Augustine if you did it on a regular basis, and didn't let it grow tall and out of control. It works well for a small area.
