Where to sharpen blade?

Well, if the blade is centered, then you will get a true lateral balance, but it also has an indicator to show the straightness, as
a bent blade will automatically be out of balance "rotation-wise'.

Of course, a bent crankshaft/jackshaft will exacerbate the problem as well, as most of the spindle/jackshaft failures on mowers are due to out of balance/bent blades, that the customer keeps running!!!

There is not really any reason to keep worrying about the guys here, if they want to run out of balance blades/shafts, then
blame the manufacturers, well they will keep doing it.

As far as the sharpness on the blades, well..... With their conclusions, why even take off a blade or try to sharpen, as it will be just as dull on the first pass???

Have they never sharpened their blades because the lawn looked like chit??? Then did it again, and had a much better cut?
 
No, the angle of "sharpness" varies among oem blades.

I am of course more familiar with chainsaw angles, but the same thing,eh????

Again you missed the point.
There is no need to sharping blades to a razors edge. Did not say you don't have to sharping blades.

I have been balancing my blades the same way for over 30 years and have never had any problem because if the blade balance.

Any one can make a tool and claim it is the best and only way to balance a blade. Does not make it true.

You must of missed **** on how to balance a mower blade, too bad. But I do agree we don't need it here because there are a lot of other places you can go for that if that is your enjoyment.

Yeah, you haven't had any problems.... So how far would the blade be dulled before you would sharpen it? If it makes no difference?

Sitting in a shop sharping blades for people that can not do it them selfs does not mean you you do it the right way. When you get out and cut 100 lawns a week then you can talk about the best way to sharping a blade.
