I sure hope that is a sod cutter blade and NOT a reel mower bedknife!If it is a bedknife, that is the worst bednkife grinder I've ever seen!But if it is a sod cutter blade, it should do just fine with care taken.
You state very well the reason to use a jig: Avoid making hot spots. It allows one to take a small amount at a time over the length of the blade and not overheat the steel.
Great Demo and good luck with your invention.

What type of knives do you sharpen? This was designed to sharpen blades used on sod cutting/harvesting machines...

Indeed, it was designed for sod cutter blades and can also be used for rotary blades. Thanks for your comment.

If you want to sharpen anything properly you need to use a jig.
