Knife Grinding Methods For Mowing Tools Discussed
A Rural New Yorker correspondent explains knife grinding for mowing machines. Farmers hold blades at arm length and grind on top of the stones, but this is slow and may not yield as sharp an edge as using a proper rest for the knife section. A beard rest made from a seven or eight inch wide board is nailed to the frame to support the stone, keeping the edge near the stone surface to avoid drawing the knife into gaps. The stone is mounted on friction wheel bearings to raise its center for proper alignment.
