I've become somewhat frustrated finding someone to sharpen my mower blades so I started looking into this and am leaning towards this one.

Now here are my reasons for this one.
Room in my garage is at a premium, I really don't have room to build a small work bench that I could mount a vice or I would probably start out that way. I don't own a grinder so it would be quite a learning curve to get good at sharpening them by hand and I can see where after a while the correct angle would be hard to hold.
With the above unit it appears it can be mounted in a vertical position so this would allow me to mount it to a wall and then remove it so it's out of the way. It also seems to be full proof as far as keeping the proper angle.
I figure I can get this and a grinder for under $250 maybe even less. I know that sounds like a lot but like I said the guy I've had doing it for the last few years is semi retired now and 20 miles away so his hours are not set and he said working Saturdays was over for him, gone fishing he says. The other guy in town has been semi retired for even longer and is only open Mon - Thurs 9am to 2pm. There are a couple mower shops but they started charging to much so it wouldn't take to much to pay for it self plus the convenience of being able to do it when I want it done.
Any one looked into this?
