    lawnmower blades

    This may be a stupid question but is there a special name for the bent lawnmower blades?

    Depends on whether they got that way intentionally or accidentally

    I assume you are talking about mulching blades which are bent on purpose.

    Or high lift blades which have a very steep bend in them. They are used in conjunction with a bagger on your mower.
    A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. My desk is a work station.

    Maybe i didn't say it right. I know the more bend on the edge means more lift. Mine are bent the long way. Best i can describe from the center hole it comes out aways bends down then out near the tip it bends back up.

    Is it perhaps a mulching blade?

    That's what I'm thinking. I have a rider and push with mulching blades and they're bent. This isn't one of my blades but they're bent like this one.

    We know that mulching blades are bent BUT the factory do not use the word bent , the blades are formed by a punch press
