I don’t have a lawn care business but I do have the 5005 gen 2. I have made a small business out of sharpening lawnmower blades and I have had nobody say anything bad about a blade I have sharpen. Everybody has there own way of doing thing but for me it was worth every dollar I paid for it.
I do have an extra mount and I use a Milwaukee m18 cordless grinder that works great. With the extra mount I made a work station to keep in the bed of my truck to mount my 5005 gen 2 when I’m at work everybody brings me there lawnmower blades to sharpen. Maybe something you would like to keep in your trailer for emergency.
"When I need to get it in, I can"!!! And.. I rewound the video to make sure I quoted you correctly!! Fantastic quote Bud!! I know a bunch of the guys got the RBG # sumptin or odder... & it's a killer sharpener. I'm still sharpening my blades bye hand. Most likely getting the All American Sharpener this Season as I should of gotten it last year. It's plenty for what my needs are. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!
I know im randomly asking but does someone know a way to get back into an instagram account? I was stupid forgot the account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me
The vendor did a video on determining the proper angle. They recommended using a sharpie on the edge and scraping across the blade with the power off to see where the wheel is touching. Still too cold outside to do a maintenance on my new Deere X350. Looking forward to using the new tools.
In addition to only sharpening uphill. Every two or three passes, put your fingers on the back of the blade. If it's too hot to touch let it cool before continuing or you will be changing the temper of the blade. Flip the blade and do the other side whilst that side cools.
@@PlemonsLawnCare doesn't explain why you should only sharpen uphill, I'd imagine in part to keep from having the blade point grab and destroy the disc? Also what happens to the setup for the other blade that is reverse rotation and has the cutting edge on the other side of the blade, and why doesn't the shorter arm gen1 sharpener work on Walker blades does it just run out of reach?
Seen these a few times and they def do an awesome job. I still do by hand with the angle grinder and disc, put it in a vice to hold it, and then I found a blade balance checker at Lowe's. I check the balance and may take a little more off one side depending on how well it is balanced. I used to use a bench grinder and man...What was i thinking!! LOL. Great video brother, keep grindin!
Josh's Lawn & Landscape thanks josh. Only down side to hand grinding is keeping the exact factory angle. But the hand way is still doable with good practice
My truck was a mess cleaned it today and worked on the shop also , should of been mowing it was sunny and warm here in north Texas, I just couldn’t take the mess anymore.
New to your channel! First I just want to say thank you for your service! I do believe beside the gentleman who designed this you are the only one who has shown how to adjust and grind a blade with one of those! Thanks for the demonstration. Maybe a video on a before and after blade! Also which angle is best for a blade?
I noticed you have the "elbow" of the fixture to the front of the grinder. It will work OK but you would be throwing sparks and debris from your grinding onto the pivoting parts of the fixture. Re-position the elbow behind the grinder and keep the pivot (wear parts) cleaner. Watch the All American web site videos. Thanks for making the video.
You did exactly like I did; got the standard one first, then a new mower with half of its blades reversed. I donated my standard model to a pal. My shop is older and crowded too. I was fearing that the shower of sparks might catch something on fire. I had an old B&D Workmate clamping table and I set it up outside the door for sharpening.
I'm came here looking for your thoughts on the All-American Sharpener and what do I see...this Marine is a turkey hunter! Thanks for your service and good hunting to you! Our Maryland season opens on Monday 4/19/21...I can't wait!
I'm trying to decide between the All American and the Oregon 1/3hp which do yall think would be the best choice for a small engine shop? I got my chainsaw chain sharpening down to a science running 2 tecomec super jolly with hydro clamp on both and diamond wheels from diamond wheel company (will never run another wheel) 1 setup up for 3/8-404 other .325-3/8LP 3rd grinder flat wheel for the rakers. I know they'll be some haters on my setup and probably for even asking this question but we all have our own ways. Thanks ahead for any input given negative or positive!
Interesting tool. I'll need to look into it. Just used my angle grinder to sharpen my blades, by hand. It worked, but likely not as uniformly as this tool. On other, technical notes regarding your video, 1.) Turn off the auto-focus on the camera. Very distracting as it searches for the focus point. 2.) Get all of your tools ready on the set. Don't want to see people walking around their shop, looking for a tool while nothing is happening with the subject. 3.) Speeding up boring, time consuming tasks is fantastic. We don't need to see every stroke of the ratchet. Good job. 4.) Your lighting was very good. Soft, diffuse light that fills in where deep shadows could form allows us to see all the features. 5.) Last, tripod mount the camera to keep it steady.
Appreciate all the camera and video help. I didn’t realize the autofocus was on when I recorded it and wasn’t redoing it lol I mow grass and help others in that field so I know it sucks for some people but got the idea on the sharpener is more what I was going for. I use a GoPro 99% of the time
Wow. I’ve been in this business for 17 years it takes me 2 minutes to remove and sharpen the blade on my T25 and t23. I can’t see why I would want one of these. Seems like a hassle and process with no real payoff.
Where is the hassle. The video is on initial assembly of the jig. What method are you using to sharpen your blades correctly in two minutes? The jig is small enough to be removed if you would like and put way in a draw or shelf and not take up the large space most blade sharpeners do. You have the ability to get the correct angle of any blade you put on it. I know the old way of hand grinding is not accurate or proper way to have a correct angle or balanced blade.
Chuck Taylor so I’m guessing your way is the only way to skin a cat right. You keep filing while I’m out mowing lawns chuck. This tool makes life easier not that it’s the only way. I have a small shop I like to conserve space but still be efficient. Time is money and if I’m hand filing and spending hours as opposed to minutes takes time from my work and family. You do your way I’ll do it mine but to say there is no value already explains to me you can’t be reasoned with anyway.
I'm kinda getting tired of burning through good gloves with the bench grinder and your head down to the other stone to get your one peeper 👁️ to see your angle, the Money you save alone in good gloves is worth the price of admission. 🤘
@Chuck Taylor ain't no way in Hale you can knock that back side down with any file of a commercial mower blade that's been through 20hrs of mows, you'll just have a sharp edged 2x4
Plemons Lawn Care i understand, I guess it just seemed like too much. Yea might of exaggerated a bit on the time for me. But in all seriousness it takes me less then 5 minutes to remove sharpen balance and reinstall blades on my Walker T25i’s. Really I’m hoping to one day find something that I feel is undeniably the best sharpener in the world haha.
do yourself a favor an ditch those after market blades and get the oem walker blades. you will definetly notice the cut quality and the longevity of the blade wear
We know oem are the way to go but when they aren’t in stock you have use what you can get at the time. Still the only aftermarket set I have for the walker. We keep at least 12 sets ready to roll each week
You have sharpened more than I have but after assembly and motor mounted on scissor arms...Don't the arms need to be back behind the disc instead of beside it. Looks like not much clearance. thanks for your video.
Didn't they offer the extended arm option back then, I know they do now just curios it would have saved you a 175 ish or more I noticed American sharpener chimed in so the might not of 🤪
Fast forward to 7 minutes to get thru the swamp of BS. Make sure you put your sun glasses on if you did a bunch of drugs because you will always need sun glasses inside the shop.
Haha you’re an idiot I wear sunglasses in my shop because the door is open and the sun is shining and use them for as safety as well. Due to a eye injury in the military my eyes are very sensitive to light unfortunately. What you think is bs some others may not, if you don’t like the video move on.
Do u have the sighn that says- marines are absolute hell in a gun fight but have a serious lack of negotiating skills..u have been properly negotiated with..no go away?.
They are not razor sharp for sure. But rounded over blades will pull or rip grass as opposed to actual cutting. If they are sharpened too much the will dull faster due to the thinner edges.
@@colestaples2010 You may be right if you don't have much actual grass and mostly weeds but a dull blade will rip grass rather than leave it with a clean cut. Grass with ripped ends makes your lawn look brown after a few days and it can also invite disease.
Nah I’m good I’ve got friends with them and you see how small my shop is. I prefer to be able to change angles for each blade and put the jig away if I’m not using it. The RBG are nice but I like this a little better
The RGB712 cannot possibly make as perfect of a Grind as this tool. This tool if set properly will always do a perfect grind, with the RGB712 when pulling the Blade across the stone the angle changes as you pull unless you are able to put the Blade in a Jig that could be made where the pull is the exact same you can't possibly do the perfect grind of the All American Jig. No way Jose! When the All American Jig is set properly it takes but a few moments in putting in a blade and sharpening it to perfection only if you put too aggressive of a wheel into the grinder can you cause some real problems, use a grit of 40 and you can do no better than that. Also Richey Plemons you have not watched The "All American" UA-cam Channel or else you would know that you mounted the Jig upside down and you would make the elbow so it points toward you, not away from you as you do the grind. Look I am sorry for the negatives but it bugs me when things are not done correctly but Thank you for at least doing a fun job of this UA-cam. Thank you.

Guess I'll be getting this new one soon. I've had great experience with this jig; worth every penny! 💯🌟🌟🌟💯

Man I’ve been wanting to pick an AAS up just haven’t yet but it’s definitely on the top of the list
Oh Teno I love mine you get a chance definitely grab one up
I like that Buzzard Ball and Sinker Parking sign on your wall s a Beautiful thing.
Thank you. Semper Fi
Great video today have a great rest of the week
Thanks Jason
My truck was a mess cleaned it today and worked on the shop also , should of been mowing it was sunny and warm here in north Texas, I just couldn’t take the mess anymore.

Thanks Kurt I will get one up soon for sure
Thanks for the info. I've been considering this sharpener for my low volume requirement needs.
You want be disappointed. You get the correct angle and can remove from the bench to put away when not in use

"this takes too long" ..."that's much faster" - hilarious!
Planning on buying one this season. You think you are holding that 32 degree angle till you check it and it is way off. Great tool for that purpose
Yes youre right once you check it you realize its way off
I dont think anyone ever says "my shop is big enough". We could all use a bigger shop. Lol
😂😂 not doubt brother. You I say I need a 10x10 you better get a 30x30 lol Semper Fi bro
My my how things have changed since this here video! Hope yall are doing well man! ✌
