For shaping and sharpening lawn mower blades I usually use the bench grinder, but sometimes I am not fully satisfied with free hand grinded edge angle consistency. ![[Image: sad.gif]](https://www.tormek.com/forum/Smileys/default/sad.gif)
Some two years ago it occurred to me to lay a rubber-faced vise jaw pad on the bench grinder tool rest. The vise jaw protector can slide along the bench grinder tool rest while keeping the edge angle of the blade the same. The mower blade rests in a groove of the rubber-faced pad. Using the same groove it is easy to get the same edge angle for both ends of the lawn mower blade.
