Yah I know that. I've sharpened countless blades. I just was asking cuz some people always just buy blades instead of sharpening them.

Theyre pretty cheap. Unless you have a grinder laying around its probably more convenient to just replace them

Affect.

And yes, the MPG display is pretty much "taking it under advisement".

They were in rough shape when I got the mower but they did a good job, I did some cutting down by the creek and hit a rock that was mostly buried in the ground, it bent the tip of the blade down then it broke off.

It was time anyway
