On those mower decks with the 5 or 6 star, regularly you get one in where the blade wasn't put on right. and so the star on the spindle is mushroomed. Sometimes beyond repaid. Other times, it not so bad that you can't take a dremel and deburr the edges, so that the blade fits again. That's what I'm working on now.
The bits that come in the set from the auto parts store suck. Was looking around and seems that "tungsten" bits are a lot better. Problem is, how do you find single bits, the size you need. I like the oval shaped ones, that are small enough to get close in the corners of the stars. And the pointed ones to get right in the inside corners.
