RESHARPENING REELS
For maximum performance and to achieve the
finest cut, reels should be reground with a relief.
For best results, the “land” area should be no
wider than 1/64” to begin the season. (See figure
below) Modern reel grinders are capable of pro-
ducing a relief, finishing off the cylinder with a
light spin grind.
RESHARPENING BEDKNIVES

in the cutting unit.
NOTE: Warranty claims relating to quality of cut
or power loss will not be considered if reels are
