It looks to me lke some kind of multi-fit lawnmower blade balancing
tool. You put the blade over the cone to where it fits into the blade
shaft hole, the look to see which side dips. then grind the heavy end
until you have a reasonable balance.

Looks sort of like the old tire bubble balancer. But no level on the
top.

Because I don't do any mechanical work of any kind, even though I've
taken mechanical engineering courses, I shouldn't know what that is.
BUT, I watched my mechanic doing the maintenence on my push lawnmower.
That object is to balance the lawn mower blade after sharpening.

I am not sure which Harry this is but the answer is right.

I'm curious - how do you balance a blade after sharpening?

Well I'll be danged - never thought of balancing the blade after
sharpening.

Never mind. :)


I didn't know there was a do-dad for home handymen to use.
I always balance my blades on a screwdriver shaft. It the two sides can
point east & west, I've taken the right amount off each side.

Never really had blades sharpened to tell the truth. I put a new set
of blades on every Spring - they last all summer into the Fall and I
change them again.

I can see why you would have to balance the blade after sharpening,
I've just never had to do it.

And well you shouldn't! It would be a pain in the ass to balance "after
sharpening". I balance while sharpening... ;)

I could just walk two blocks over and get a professional to sharpen my
blade, but they want $10.00 or so.

One of those...

It's bad on the grass to cut it with a dull blade...gives it jagged
edges,frizzies so to speak. Hell, it takes only ten minutes to hit the blade
with a file, unless you've got one of those lawnmowers like what's his name with
three or four blades to cut your five acres.,

You're good. I think you could use it for boat propellers also, if you ever
found need to sharpen them. I've seen some aluminum props that spent enough time
in sand that they could use a little sharpening.

Sounds like you should get a good pair of scissors and cut the blades
individually. I might cut my grass for the third time this season
tomorrow, or I may just go to the track with The Mouse again;)
