[Carscw]

It looks like you are the only one that thinks you should be able to shave with a mower blade.

They probably have people on there telling you to balance your blade by using a cone. Then after finding out they've been doing it wrong all these years but without any issues decide, after watching a YouTube infomercial, that a $200 balancer is the only way to balance your mower blades.

I've seen those blade sharpening gadgets that attach to the chuck of a drill, but have never used one.

Have any of you ever used one of them, and if so, what is your opinion of them?

For someone who has a small mower a homeowner type they may be alright but if you have a heavy blade or a number of blades to sharpen don't waste your money.

I think that infomercial pretty much showed and proved the point that a nail for balancing a lawn mower blade is useless. As far as a $200 balancer, it's a $174 with free shipping for the Magna Matic 1000 but you can get the Oregon for less than half that cost. Lets talk about some issues, I replaced three spindles on a ZTR with just over five hundred hours that were worn out maybe that was why? I replaced one spindle on the Turf-master that broke blades in half, Toro said it was because of a washer that was worn caused by vibration, was either case caused by blades not balanced? I really don't know but if spending the $174 may help save some money in the long run , I'll take that chance.
