    Fantastic + Suggestion

    First a disclaimer: I am a weekend hack and not a professional lawn care guy or a guy who sharpens blades as a business. I simply wanted to sharpen my own mower blades instead of paying to have them done. I like having freshly sharpened blades 1x/month for mowing my 1 acre yard. As you can imagine, the costs were adding up these past 10 years. So I tried just about everything this Spring/Summer…angle grinder jigs, angle grinders without jigs, bench grinders, bench grinders with Ballard’s Blade Assist, etc. I have tried a lot of things and just never felt like it was the “best”. I have logged hundreds of hours on YouTube watching videos for recommendations of “the best way to sharpen mower blades”. :) To be honest, the price point is kind of crazy for a weekend hack like me, but after researching and talking to professionals, I decided “WTF” and bought it. I am extremely happy I did! Being able to rest the blade on a platform and get the perfect 30 degree angle couldn’t be easier. I have now sharpened about 15 blades with it and loved it so much I have also now ordered the dust collector, etc to make less of a mess in the garage. I have also ordered the wheel kit, work light, wheel shelf and blade holder. One might accuse me of going over the top with this purchase (and they would be absolutely correct), but I will never have to buy anything again! As a bonus, it doesn’t take up much floor space in the garage and I can move it around easily. So now that you know it is worth every bit of the price tag, I wanted to offer a suggestion to Magna to make it even better. The stock stationary platform is only 12” long. My mower blades are 18” long and therefore I just never felt steady and secure when sharpening them. So I went out and bought a 24” by 4” by 3/8” piece of UHMW plastic and fit it to the base such that I had 18 inches “before” the blade and 6” after. Worked well, but as you might guess the plastic was not rigid enough when getting out past the base. The next step in my endeavor was to get a 24” by 4” by 1/8” piece of cold-rolled steel and fit it to the stage under the UHMW plastic. BINGO…has the length and rigidity I needed to confidently lay the blades flat and push back and forth to grind a nice sharp edge. It looks a little goofy hanging out a little further, but man oh man does it feel sturdier and give me more confidence in holding and pushing the blade straight. @Magda-I am sure this would be a very simple add-on and I am telling you it would be much better looking than the one I put together.

Description

The MAG-8200 Lawn Mower Blade Sharpener uses a 1" wide grinding wheel to sharpen conventional mower blades.

The MAG-8200 it is designed to sharpen lawn mower blades at a consistent 30 degree angle. Unlike other sharpeners you can easily maintain that 30 degree cutting edge angles without any complicated adjustment or time consuming tools.  The single crank stays where you adjust it and you simply lower the wheel until it almost touches the worktable - and that will cut a 30 degree angle.  No other sharpener can promise that.  Our incredibly rigid design gives you a smooth solid grinding experience that makes sharpening mower blades comfortable and easy.  All 8100 and 8200 series sharpeners use the same angle adjustment and bearing block system that we call the "heart" of the machine, all of these highly accurate machined parts provide this tremendous rigidity.

The FIXED WORKTABLE can be set to 30 degrees to easily maintain consistent cutting edges.

Who is this sharpener for? A user only has straight flat cutting edges and only needs to cut 30 degree angles and needs to stay within a budget but needs a professional sharpening solution that can grow with their business.

SAFETY CONSIDERATION: The enclosed nature of our sharpeners keeps sparks in control you won't have an uncontrolled stream of sparks. All Magna-Matic sharpeners have complete a enclosure for the abrasive, all sparks are directed into a large grit guard so sparks are controlled, additionally we offer dust collectors for a clean shop. All Magna-Matic sharpeners grind up the cutting edge for safety so the mower blade is always pushed away rather than sucked into the machine.

  • Sharpen conventional lawn mower blades without burning

MAG-8200 GENERAL PLATFORM FEATURES: We've been developing the 8200 platform for the last 2 years to make a sharpener can grow with your company. For example you could buy the base MAG-8200, and later buy the MODULAR WORKTABLE update kit and gain the ability to sharpen curved mulching blades.  Or perhaps you'd like a speed upgrade - you could later get the belt grinder kit.  Or you could get the water-cooled kit and have that feature later.  The MAG-8200 will feature the ability to easily change motors for power upgrades later too.
