OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Edgers Two Stroke Edgers Victa Tilta Cut Blade

It's time for a new blade on my Tilta Cut. When I acquired it, it came with a solid blade made from 50 x 3 flat bar. So I was going to grab some flat bar and make another one.

But when I was in Bunnings on the weekend, I noticed they have the genuine blade for $9.00. So my question is, what is the advantage of the fingerlike design of the end of the victa blade.

Ive got some tight curves in my lawn and find it easier to pull the mower around backwards. I have verver used the tilt function. It seems to cut better pulling it backwards to. The blade rotates anti clockwise when looking at it from the side, is this correct?

Other edgers I have seen rotate the other direction and throw all the grass and sand forwards.

Hi Jarrad, there are several threads in the Victa archives re: blades...you will find that the circular blade is the one to go for...Click HERE for info....this does a great job and leaves a great finish...much better than the straight blade.
You will notice that it almost pulls the machine along almost like a self-propelled one!!
To answer your question on rotation direction...you are correct; it should rotate anti-clockwise looking from the side.
