The DIY Way To Sharpen Lawn Mower Blades

!±8± The DIY Way To Sharpen Lawn Mower Blades

Is your lawn mower tearing of the lawn grass blades instead of cutting it? Does your lawn look like it has been eaten by a goat, in spite of being cut by the lawn mower? Wait; do not pull your hair by the root. Help is at hand. We will teach you how to sharpen the lawn mower blades at minimum price and effort.

Your Manual Lawn Mower - The Faithful Walk Behinds

Tools: The tools that your will require for doing this job are

You and your time of about 2 hours or less

A bastard file of about 12" long

A small crow bar to prevent movement of rotor of lawn mower.

A worktable will be useful for dong the job comfortably.

Procedure: You can use the following procedure as a general guide and make changes to it to suit you. Remember the procedure is not sacrosanct. The results are important, not the procedure.

If possible, remove the handle of lawn mower and place lawn mower on the table.

Secure it if possible in the clamps. If you do not have clamps, do not bother, secure it against any block, so that the movement away from you is restricted.

Fix the crowbar in the blades so that it will not rotate

With the help of the bastard file, file the edges of blades so that they look sharp. Work at an angle of 45 degrees

When one blade is sharpened, remove the crowbar and turn the rotor to work on another blade. Repeat the procedure until all blades are sharpened.

If you have a flexible shaft grinder in your DIY workshop, you will be able to complete the work within 5 to 10 minutes per blade. Make a template of blade profile before you start your work and compare frequently. This is necessary to ensure that you do not over cut at a place.

Safety Tip For You

While sharpening the blades ensure that the stroke is not too long otherwise, you may injure yourself.

Sharpening Blades Of Power Mower

Depending upon the lawn mower the procedure may vary. We have included general statements in this procedure; you would have to change the procedure slightly. Keep the maintenance manual of lawn mower handy if you have one.

Tools required.

Siphon hose and clean container

Heavy work gloves and goggles

Double-cut (medium-rough) flat file

Lumber scrap

Socket wrench set

Rubber mallet*

Bench vise or C clamps

Rotary blade sharpener accessory

Electric drill*

Screwdriver, or 1/4-in. rod or bolt*

Blade balancer

Replacement blade*

* Only if required

The list may look formidable, but tools are generally available with every DIY enthusiast.

Procedure:

The procedure is given for the simple single blade lawn mower, but the same will apply to all types of blades, whether single or double

Wear hand gloves and clean the engine and the gasoline tank from outside

Remove spark plug from the engine

Remove all the fuel from the tank of the gasoline engine. Use the siphon hose so you do not spill gasoline on floor.

Completely empty out the oil from gearbox if you have one

Invert the engine and have access to the blade.

Clamp the engine so it does not move and clean the blade area thoroughly

With help of a box spanner, remove the nut holding the blade. Usually the nut will be unlocked in the reverse to direction of rotation of engine. You may engage the screwdriver in the cooling fan of engine to stop rotation of engine.

If you find that you are using too much force to unlock the nut, put one or two drops of rust removing chemical, and try after 30 minutes

After you remove the blade, clamp it in the bench vise and sharpen it with a file or a grinder. Sharpen only the outer 2 to 3 inches. The area to be sharpened will be known if you see the blade.

Sharpen only to the required extent. Too much sharpening is not necessary. This is not the knife. It works at the speed of the engine

After sharpening, check with your thumb. Be careful not to cut thumb. If you have done sharpening before, or seen some one doing it, you will know what we mean by this.

Balance the blade with help of a small balancing tool on VEE blocks, or even on two foot rulers placed side by side

Refit the blades, refill engine oil and gasoline and test the sharpness of blades on uncut portion of your lawn

Safety tips:

Always use safety goggles and hand gloves when working with power tools.

Be sure to remove the spark plug before starting. Serious accidents can happen if you do not do this.

10 Things To Consider For The Best Chain Saw

!±8± 10 Things To Consider For The Best Chain Saw

1. How is it powered?

3 options: electric, gas, and believe it or not - cordless. Deciding which one you want depends on your use. Cordless won't run very long, so you are limited to small cuts where you don't need much power. With an electric, you will be tethered (limited) by your electrical cord. A gas powered saw will allow you to cover anything from the smallest to the largest needs.

2. What is the length of the bar? (the bar is what the chain goes around)

18" is a decent size, but it depends on your use. To approximate how big a tree the chain saw will cut - simply double the bar length. In this case, an 18 inch saw will cut a 36 inch diameter tree

3. How big an engine will you have?

Obviously the bigger the horsepower the more power. Typical HP is from 2-6.

4. What is the motor displacement?

A good displacement will generally be between 50 - 70cc, with the greater the number the more power.

5. How is the chain oiled?

Keeping the chain lubricated is very important. Just make sure you know how it is done before buying. Most have self-oiling mechanisms, but just be aware.

6. How do you adjust the chain tension

It depends on the manufacturers, but you will have to periodically check and tighten your tension, so you want it to be easy to do.

Some manufacturers make their saws to have quick adjustments while others require you to do it manually. If you must do it manually, make sure the adjustment knobs or bolts are easily accessible and not hidden under some plastic guard.

7. What kind of break, or safety feature does it have to stop the chain if something goes wrong?

All should have a quick shut off, of some sort, in case of jam or kickback.

Some have a big plastic guard that gets pushed back and shuts off the saw.

Others have an inertia detector that detects sudden motion change and shuts off the saw. (These obviously cost more)

8. How does it start?

Most have a pull start, but more manufacturers are coming out with devices to make starting easier. Some "easy start" saws have special decompression valves while others have special springs.

9. How is the vibration?

Manufacturers try to minimize the vibrations and such are different for each manufacturer.

Just another thing to look for - do they advertise anything along this line.

10. Does it come with a carrying case?

Most do now a days. Just be sure!

If you have never purchased a chain saw before, these are just a few things to consider. Some models may not offer all these options and other may offer options not listed. In any case, having some prior knowledge about the basic features will help you tremendously in selecting that perfect chain saw for yourself.

Homelite (I'll try 50:1)

The next bit of fixing the damn Homelite UT20760 string trimmer. Muffler gasket, and crank case gasket will be replaced as they are both beyond repair. My video will show everything that was done.
