How sharpen cylinder mower blades?

[ipjodan]

Hello All,

Trying to service a old Qualcast mower which is 5000 times better quality than the new ones, any tips for sharpening the cylinder blades?

The only way is to have the cylinder sharpened by someone who does garden machinery repairs.

Do not try to sharpen it yourself or use any of these grinding strips that you can buy they are a waste of money.

Depending on what bottom blade you have, that will have to be either sharpened as well, or replaced.

If you remove the cylinder yourself and give it to someone to sharpen it should cost around £1.20 per inch.

Trust me on this i have been repairing lawnmowers for 24 years,if you need any more advice don't hesitate to ask.
