Spin grind the reel to achieve <0.025 mm (0.001
inch) reel run-out.
Note:
This causes the land width to grow
slightly.
Note:
To extend the longevity of the sharpness of the
edge of the reel and the bedknife—after grinding the
reel and/or the bedknife—check the reel to bedknife
contact again after cutting 6 greens, as any burrs
will be removed, which may create improper reel to
bedknife clearance and thus accelerate wear.
Checking the Top Grind Angle
The angle that you use to grind your bedknives is
very important.
Use the angle indicator and the angle-indicator mount
to check the angle that your grinder produces and
then correct for any grinder inaccuracy.
1.
Place the angle indicator on the bottom side of
the bedknife as shown in

Place the angle-indicator mount on the edge
of the bedknife so that the edge of the magnet
mates with the edge of the bedknife (
).
Note:
The digital display should be visible from
the same side during this step as it was in step
