Oregon Cone Lawn Mower Blade Balancer https://amzn.to/2s42K3l Oregon 42-047 Precision Blade Balancer https://amzn.to/2khk8Ow I found out a lot of people don't like the commercially available cone style lawnmower blade balancers because they tend to stick in one spot and therefore not give you an accurate reading. However, with a good design, these types of blade balancers work well. The balancer shown in this video is one I machined from 6061-t6 aluminum. It is very sensitive and will accurately tell you how if and how much your blade is unbalanced in either axis. There are other ways of balancing a lawn mower blade, such as hanging one from a horizontal placed nail, but I found that if the blade is not hung exactly on the center of the nail, it will cause inaccurate balancing. There are also commercially available professional grade blade balancers available, but they are about $100 at the time of this writing, which is beyond what the typical homeowner wants to spend on lawn mower blade maintenance. They are more suited for a lawn mower repair shop, where blade balancing is done on a larger scale for profit.
