What happens here

Similar to using an angle grinder, ensure the lawn mower blade is securely clamped in a vise. Power on the bench grinder. Carefully present the blade to the grinding wheel, matching the original factory angle. Use light, consistent pressure and move the blade slowly across the wheel. Avoid pressing too hard or creating excessive heat, which can damage the blade's temper. Continue until the desired sharpness is achieved and a burr forms.

Goal: Restore the cutting edge of the blade using a bench grinder.
