Mowing deck bolts

[mantis]

Just called the dealer and ordered a set of blades... $57, and he's delivering them this afternoon. Gotta love that service. Now I just have to stop by Lowe's on the way home for the 30mm socket. :thumbsup:

For those interested...

30mm = 30 x 0.03937 = 1.1811

1 3/16" = 1.1875

the difference between them is 0.0064"

... that is less than 7 thousanths of an inch.

IMHO either should work fine... six or twelve point...

(most impacts are 6 point)

The 30 mm socket goes back to 2002...When the BX22 came out..

Also we have a wonderful tool called search function here..

Paid under $9 at Advance Auto and Lowe's has it for under $9. I'm sure either place will take a return if it's the wrong size but mine was 30MM from Advance.

That's it, thanks much.

Interesting. What size and material type (sand, carbide, micro-diamond) grit? I use an angle grinder, which goes quite fast, but sometimes too fast, perhaps taking off more material than I want.

It never occured to me to use a belt sander, as I figured that was too slow. I can see how it would keep a more planar bevel face though, than the angle grinder. Maybe I could rough with the angle grinder and finish with the belt sander...Hmmmm.......

Yea, would appreciate knowing grit type and size. Thanks in advance.

I'm not the original poster but I also use a belt sender to sharpen my blades. I use a Ryobi 4X36" bench top unit with either 50 or 80 grit belts depending on how many rocks I've been cutting. If it's real bad I'll start with the angle grinder first.
