The direction and lower speed this machine grinds at would be better than the bumping higher speed grind to the front on the blades as in the other video. You wouldn't get the horizontal shock to the blades as much by coming across the blade at lower spinning speed. From an engineering point this machine is a better method for a blade type hone for these mowers. The straight on front approach grinding is good on solid round things (solid metal rod etc), where the stone is in constant contact with the material.
Bit expensive for home use at $5,000 for a new machine, Ok for a shop to recover that cost. I have to make something similar, or find a shop that grinds a similar way down the blade low speed.
Now I know how they do it, these options are ok so far....................
But better still is relief grinding the blades which is original manufacture specs, improving the final cut even further. Not something I can do at home cheaply, much more difficult to do.
Do any of the places you guys get your done do relief grinding on these blades? That is perfection if you can get that done.
If you can recommend who does relief grinding I'll just use them next, bugger making something if I can get this done.
