Davis,
Your reply is music to my ears. I used to work in the aircraft business and the trouble that I have seen with rotating machinery that was designed by people that had the highest level of knowledge regarding materials, design, structures, and vibration of rotating machinery gives me cold sweats. People on these forums discuss modifications to rotary cutters as if they were a plow or a disc, never dreaming the harm that they can do if a piece of a blade breaks off. Aircraft engines have to contain a single blade failure within the structure. Your rotary cutter doesn't. That means a blade fragment can hit you or some one dear to you. I'm leary of sharpening a blade on a rotary cutter because there is no manufacturer that tells you how to do it properly. There's a reason for that. He can't stand the liability!
I'm rambling but please be careful when using a rotary cutter, if not for yourself but for those dear to you.
