do you sharpen your brand new blades?

Who ever told you that was having a lend of you.
If they needed to be any sharper they would sharpen them then put a guard over the edge like saw blades, plane blades & chisels .

I will take your word on it, I am no expert on the matter. I questioned the sharpness on a new set of Marbains and thats the answer I got.

Hahaha, no I didn't, I sharpend them enough to get them to balance because they were out pretty much. I know, Im an idiot for doing that, right. Wink

As mentioned, a razor edge isn't what we want on a lawn mower blade. They are typically a little dull however and can be improved.

New blades should be checked for balance, straightness, and track. Any out of balance condition will rob horsepower and quality of cut.
