I can't get the 3 blades off my 67' IH mower deck. I need a blade sharpener I can use on the deck and sharpen rounded cutting edge to sharp.

I use a lift to raise the front of the mower to a convenient height, then use a 4-1/2" angle grinder to sharpen the blades on the machine. Be sure to wear good gloves and eye protection, and remove the spark plug wires to prevent accidental starting when turning the blades by hand. With a steady hand, the grinder will do a sufficient job and you won't need to hone the blades afterward.

As yet I have not needed to sharpen the blade but a qualified local blade sharpener could surely do the job, although a good handyman I would not attempt it myself. At some point it will be necessary to purchase to purchase a new one and replacing is quite easy.I hope this is usefulThe unit makes laying a laminate floor a breeze.Richard Nova Scotia Canada

I just did a couple of googles, and can't find blades for either this or the Blackwing. Fortunately, the blades last forever and two come with the sharpener. Will continue to search, and post if I find any! Good question! EDIT: Amazon has them (of course!) search replacement blades KUM. There are several pack sizes and several proices.

Sorry, just got mine so only just used it a couple time. I had a another hedge trimmer for many years and never had it sharpened and it worked just fine. Not really sure how it could be sharpened. I do oil the blades with each use. That seems to keep them in good shape.

I don't see a way to sharpen the blades as the comb is built in. I get about 6 or 7 shaves per blade.

Wish I could help, but I too, purchased a blade that would not cut. Lucky for me, that I bought two of them, the other cut just fine. But the one that didn't work, it was like it didn't have an edge on it. Perhaps it didn't. I tried and tried to use it, then finally gave up and put the other blade in and it cut through with ease, like a knife cutting through soft butter. I suggest you return that blade for another.

This is not the tool to sharpen lawn mower blades. A bevel grind will ruin a lawn mower blade (ask anyone who sharpens them for a living). I took mine to pro after destroying it with the work sharp. He took one look and asked "so why did you try to sharpen this with a belt?" He went on to speak in glowing terms about this grinder... for knives. He just couldn't believe I was dumb enough to think it would work on my mower blade. So, I have pink ears, you can avoid this fate. GET A FILE!

We do not recommend the Tormek system for sharpening lawn mower blades. I can be done, but it would be done manually - there is no jig to accommodate lawnmower blades. We recommend the MultiTool belt grinding attachment for sharpening lawnmower blades: follow this link and watch the video: http://www.advmachinery.com/p-1093-multitool-belt-grinding-attachment.aspx

It didn't work well for me either. I took off a lot of steel shavings using it but it was never razor sharp. Try a stone. I wonder if you run it through their sharpener then a stone if it doesn't sharpen up quick.

I don't know...suggest you contact Midwest products. If replacement proves difficult blade can be sharpened.

You could probably sharpen it yourself, but I would take it to a professional to make sure the blade stays straight. There is probably one close to where you live or work.

John Irvinejohn@gardenacanada.comBe sure to ask about how to sharpen the blades. After 1 season the blades were dulled and I'm not sure how to sharpen them.Gardena Canada Ltd.Member of the Husqvarna Group100 Summerlea RoadBrampton, ON. L6T 4X3Phone: 905 792-9330Fax: 905 792-8996

Contact Gerber and show them that there is no blade. Or, you could sharpen it yourself..

Make sure the strongly curved/slanted blade edge is mounted facing up so that the grass is draw upward toward the mower deck. If you mount this blade incorrectly with the angled edge facing downward, it will blow the grass down and away from the blade. Not a good way to cut grass!

The blades are very difficult to sharpen, I suggest new blades. I have had 3 of these knives and the trigger has broken before the blades need to be replaced.

It's a nice sharpener that will put damn sharp edges on a dull knife, but I either use the budget set I sharpened with this great gadget, or my Cutco. Sorry that I can't help.
