Cylinder mower blade sharpening

[gingerjedi]

Just been quoted £139 to get mine done.

A precision job by all accounts.

Margins of error similar to those in calculating flight trajectory of space shuttle for re-entry.

Seems a lot of money though.

I spent some time as a toolmaker many years ago and sharpening milling tools, drills and reamers was a speciality, I could do that in an hour tops.

Thanks for the plan B idea.

For SB's benefit that should really have come with a NSFW warning.

I tried one of those clip on type cylinder mower sharpener devices. Provided you take a good deal of care setting it up it actually worked OK. I stress the setting up though, it must be absolutely spot on to the blade edge or it just rips up the sharpening medium.

Doesn't sound like he was bulltulipting you at all

Cylinder Mower Sharpener. This device clamps firmly to the bottom plate of a reel mower and sharpens the blades as they turn.

I could ask one of my gardeners about it if you wish? Won't be until they get back from the sunken victorian garden in the east wing though.

Compare it to the cost of new blades
