called mild steel or carbon steel. The edges of the blades made

of tool steel remain sharp for longer time and will require

lesser sharpening over the age of the blade. Tool steel blade is

costly and generally cannot be sharpened at the DIY workshop.The

mild steel or carbon steel is cheaper and easy to maintain. The

blades have to be kept sharp. If this is not done, grass blades

will be torn off instead of being cut. Apart from the obvious

ugly look, the growth of grass blades is adversely affected as

the moisture retention capacity of blade is reduced.

lades.html">lawnmower blades your self quickly and easily.

This operation can take a very short time.The procedure is very

easy and you can do it yourself. The following procedure will

apply irrespective of the
href="http://www.lawn-mowers-and-garden-tractors.com">type of

lawnmower. Consult the operation manual of your lawnmower

for removal of blades.







Be sure to disconnect all the power sources before begin with



the process. In case that your lawn mower was a battery powered

one, then remove the battery or batteries, depending on the

model. Check twice that all the power controls are off to avoid

an accidental engine start.





The second step will be finished as soon as you remove the

blades totally from the mower. You might need external help to

achieve it, using a couple of spanners may help a lot, however

be sure that it doesn't slip. BE careful while doing this,

because it's easy to cut yourself whether the spanner slips.





Once the blades are out of the mower, you need the number them

in order to fit them back later.





Fix a blade in a stable holding or a vice to work easily.





The sharpen process begins here. You will need a grinder or file

for it. Make sure to follow the blade's contour and sharpen it

to your convenience. Sharpen all blades using the same sharpened

to a perfect later cutting grass.





Time to refit the blades along. Make sure to do it along with



balancing, if it exists any.





There is an option of sharpen blades without removing them from

the mower, however it's uncomfortable as well as more difficult.

You will also need a flexible shaft angle grinder to a perfect

sharpened, which will save you time.





The last step is the blade balance checking. To carry the blades

balancing you need a balancer. A clue to find whether or not the

blades are correctly refitted, is checking if the mower

vibrates, if so then blades are not well balanced.
