4-15.2 Sharpening – In some cases there is a
desire to sharpen disc blades for improved
cutting. There are several people who
roll-sharpen disc blades.
used today are made of chrome-boron steel.
The chrome-boron steel has a higher hard-
ness than traditional carbon-steel blades for
increased wear. Higher hardness makes roll
sharpening more difficult often with mixed re-
sults, and is not covered by warranty. Disc
blade manufacturers will not cover any alter-
ations to blades other than the place of man-
ufacture. Results from roll-sharpening dam-
age may not be immediate, and may take
more than a season to be noticeable. If you
