Construction Details
The reel consists of a number of helix shaped
blades, welded to supports and mounted to a shaft.
This weldment is then ground to be a perfect
cylinder.
The reel is rotated by a drive system, usually a
hydraulic motor.
Below the reel is the bedbar assembly. The
bedknife is held rigidly in position on the bedbar by
screws.
The bedknife is sharpened to be flat and square so
the sharp edge contacts the reel blades across their
entire length.
If the bedknife is not flat, or the reel is not a perfect
cylinder, it is impossible to get the bedknife to
contact along the entire length of the reel.

Bedbar Assembly
Construction Details
The reel is supported by precision bearings held
within the side plates.
The side plates are held in place by a frame.
This becomes the reel assembly, and is a precision
cutting tool.
The reel assembly is supported by rollers, and
pulled along the ground by a carrier frame.
Everything comes together, to make a precision
cutting tool.
