Where to sharpen blade?

[reynoldston]

Well I won't have to worry about my blades. I ordered 2 of these from amazon. Better get one while there one sale. I wonder how many of these are bought?

For that price you should buy two of them, what a bargain.

Which one is the better buy besides the cost of it?

The better buy I would be the Magna Matic 1000 by Magna Matic @ 199.00 the Magna Matic by Stens would be the second choice @179.00

I say buy one of each that way you wouldn't wear them out as fast. It sure puts my 5 dollar plastic cone to shame. I sure am jealous.

I was going to buy the Oregon but I think I changed my mind. I'm going to get the Magna Matic 1000 from Amazon.

Perhaps the cones would work good enough in a pinch but for my mower business I think the Magna is the way to go because the less vibration you have the better cut you'll get.

I think if I ever bought a machines that costs over 2g I would maybe invest in one of these

That's kinda my feeling. I mean if you're going to spend 8 maybe 10K on a mower is it really worth taking a chance and using a nail to balance your blades, something that doesn't work? I thought I was alright with the cone but apparently that's not the case either.

Well I bought one because I opened a repair shop, I bought mine after I had looked at several, I went with the one that a
magnet strong enough to hold up a 33" snapper blade.

When I went to work at the big shop in Louisville, the owner and all of the techs snickered when I mounted it above my tool
bench. I would have mounted it above the blade grinding station, but I thought "Screw em'"....

Within a few weeks, the techs were coming and asking if they could check their balance, and I would let them....

As I said before, their idea of a valve grinding tool was a drill press and a piece of sandpaper........................
