Patent attributes
A method and apparatus for sharpening clockwise rotating standard blades, counter-clockwise rotating standard blades and mulching style blades of either clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation is provided. The present invention comprises a base with a blade fixture which is reversible to accommodate both clockwise and counter-clockwise rotating blades. Uprights, a slide shaft, a slide bushing and a handle shaft connected to a disc grinder provide a means for setting a primary cutting angle for sharpening the primary cutting edges of a blade. An adjusting wheel rotatable attached to the handle shaft and pivotably coupled to the disc grinder provide a means for quickly and easily adjusting the cutting angle in order to accommodate sharpening the secondary cutting edges of a mulching style blade and returning the disc grinder back to its original cutting angle.
