Gracey Blade Replacement Question

[Mo_Zam_Beek]

I am growing more and more tired of pulling the original blades off to re-sharpen and having to readjust them.

I see that Jones and Giraurd have carbide blades available that look pretty easy to adjust and get going. My question is do you have to do the motor upgrade to make these work well or does the stoke 1,500 rpm motor work?


TIA

I have a B. Jones blade on my original Gracey trimmer. Works fine. I've done 600+ cases in an hour.

+1000 on the Jones. Best money I've ever spent to improve a tool. AG in NC

Get the Giraud blade, much better blade profile than the BJones blade. I have both and like the Giraud blade a lot better. I think Giraud charges $30 shipped for his blade.
