is there a cheap mower blade sharpener that works well, angle and

I just clamp my blades into a bench clamp (one at a time) and grind away
with a big stone on my Dremel. *It does not have to be pretty, just

I use a hand held Dewalt grinder. I just turn a 5 gallon pail upside
down, put the blade on top, use my foot to hold it and then grind
away. If you want to be extra safe, you can fasten it in a vice
