Can it be used on lawnmower blades?

I would not really think that it would be proper in that application. I have read chefs using for their knives, and that was the only thing other than Axes and Hatchets that I have heard it used for. With the lawnmower blade being flat on one side, it would most likely do more harm than good.

I don't think it would be good for that. its light weight plastic. I would just use a bench grinder for that.

The 7861 is for mowers. Fiskars designates the 7861 as an Axe and Knife Sharpener. Even if your mower blade has a 30 angle, do not use the Fiskars. Though axe and mower blades are both kind of thick metal, the edges are different. An axe or knife has a V shape cutting edge. A mower blade is flat on one side and beveled on the other. The Fiskars sharpener is not suitable. To sharpen a mower blade, there are various methods: grinder, drill-bit attachment, angle-guide atop a sharpening stone, a professional service or (easiest, but a little more expensive) a new blade. As important as the correct beveled angle: do not make the edge too sharp: the edge could curl back if hit by stone; I have heard butter knife sharp.

Folks there is a special sharpener for mower blades. Start by checking out Smith's 50119 Mower Blade Sharpener.

I would imagine it would work really well on a riding lawnmower. I used it on my motorcycle for a long distance trip and had trouble if beverage was more than half full. Obviously the angles and speeds are a lot more extreme than your mower, so should work good for you.

I used my Accu Sharp 060 on my small shears, pruners, and it worked great. I did not use it on the lawnmower blade so I cannot answer your question. If there is room to move the Accu Sharp you can probably it without removing the lawnmower blades...

Yes, I definitely would. Was able to save the price of a new blade this season. Sharpened my mower blade quite well.

I don't see why not....I used this sharpener on a machete and a lot of other knives , it did a real good job .

I can't see why not. I'd just call the company and see if they offer replacement blades.

I don't see why not. I have been very happy with the performance of these blades.

I prefer to use my hand grinder but can use this to do your mower blades. Just be sure that the sanding paper is going away from the blade to be sharpened.

yes it can. but the replacement blades are very very inferior and expensive.

I don't know. I'd have to see the hole pattern on the blades that you mention. If the hole patterns match, it'll work!

It should be fine if it is really needed because it is digestable by humans. I also use it on the nylon gears that turn the blade.Hope this is helpful!

No, it probably won't sharpen lawn mower blades well. The part that does the sharpening is shaped like a "V", whereas a lawn mower blade is more blunt. However, if you were to grind a lawnmower blade down to a knife-edge, it probably would work!

Great for knives. Lawn mower blade would probably use up the sharpening medium too quick. You would be better off with a grinding wheel (solid wheel). Use this only for finishing.

Don't see any reason that you can't, I took the blade off mine and attached the grass gator brush cutting head and it works much better than the original blade setup.

I haven't tried it but I bet it would work. I use it in razors to make them last longer and it makes the blades very slick.

I am using only Dewalt blades and so cannot confirm. Believe it should be possible as on the packing of Dewalt blades it is marked as compatible with Bosch, etc.
