Blades

A lawnmower blade is a cutting tool attached to the underside of a lawnmower deck that cuts grass by rotating at high speed. The blade's design and size vary depending on the type of lawnmower and the desired cutting height. The blade's sharpness and durability are essential for an efficient cut and to prevent damage to the grass. Regular maintenance of the blade, such as sharpening and balancing, is necessary to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

There are several types of lawnmower blades designed for specific cutting needs. Here are the most common types:

1. High-Lift Blades: These blades have a high lift angle, which creates a strong airflow that lifts the grass for a clean cut. They are ideal for mowing tall and thick grass.

2. Mulching Blades: These blades have a unique design that creates a swirling airflow that chops the grass into fine pieces, which are then spread evenly on the lawn as mulch.

3. Low-Lift Blades: These blades have a flatter lift angle, which is suitable for mowing shorter grass. They are also known as discharge blades because they discharge the clippings out of the mower deck.

4. Toothed Blades: These are a type of high-lift blade with a serrated edge that chops the grass into smaller pieces. They are ideal for mulching and bagging.

It's important to choose the right type of blade for your lawn and mowing needs to ensure optimal performance and a healthy lawn.
