@YardEnvy 3 года назад

Very thorough! Nice job man. I hate the way the paint comes off the blades though. I may be painting mine soon lol

@SunnyBermuda 3 года назад

Thank you! Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Looks like the paint was powder coated on instead of wet paint. There's a guy from England on IG that refurbs his occasionally. Make a good Winter project. 😎

You didnt use the 120 in the video. When would youusethe 120 grit?

@PrincessCutLawnCare 3 года назад

Dude I have so many questions... 1st, have you changed the bedknife yet and if so how was it? 2nd, do they recommend 80 AND 120? Or do you just prefer to fine tune it? And lastly if your drill overheats too much, Lowe’s sells a 1/2 in corded hitachi still for 40 bucks that works awesome for backlapping.. just thought I’d share since one of my makita drill literally got so hot backlapping.. the chuck snapped off lol don’t make that same mistake I did

@SunnyBermuda 3 года назад

Ask away! 😎 No, haven't needed to change the bedknife, but it looks simple enough. I did the 80/120 from my wood working days. I figured the concept was similar - use a higher grit for that pristine fine edge. 😉 I'll keep that in mind about the drill. The one I used seemed to handle it just fine, barely got warm.

@kennycooperkc 3 года назад

Cartridge makes it easy

@SunnyBermuda 3 года назад

Absolutely, the older you get the more you enjoy table top work instead of crawling on the ground.😎

@godfather1116 2 года назад

I knew you had one of these videos, thank god, now I can order from Amazon for my Allett Liberty 43 sharpening. Do you need a 120 and 80 and do you have to use them everytime you sharpen?

@SunnyBermuda 2 года назад

No, some people only use 80 which is what I recommend if you only want one. Yes, I would use the compound each time you backlap. If you get a gauge like I use in my tips video then you may only have to backlap once a season. Don’t forget the Fluid Film.

@lolwhittingham 2 года назад

Thanks for this. can you tell me what is the gap between fixed blade and cylinder blade at the start of the process please? Thanks

@SunnyBermuda 2 года назад

Reel should be .005” or .02mm from the bed knife. Check out my tips video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5NtClQvotHE.html

@derekcanada4426 2 года назад

You’ve motivated me to sharpen my 6 and 10 blade cartridges. Nice pop-up table too. Who make the table? Looks like your bed knife is newer that the reel. Who is your parts supplier?

@SunnyBermuda 2 года назад

Yes, it’s really easy to maintain the real. Quick backlap and wipe some Fluid Film on the reels before each mow. The table is by Keter: amzn.to/3KTZ0Zq I use AllettUSA for parts.

@jeremywhite9316 2 года назад

Goo day sir, do you do all of the service for your reel mower? If not how do you get it serviced if I don’t want to do it? I’m in newnan Georgia

@SunnyBermuda 2 года назад

🌞 Yes, I do all the service on my reel mower, every thing from engine to repairs, if any. Any local small engine/mower shop can service the engine. They may can backlap the reel for you, but you will have to find someone to grind the reel if it really needs it. You can also mail your reel cartridge to Allett USA for grinding if you can't find anyone local. Reel Rollers in Buford, GA may can help, too.

@mikedelta987 Год назад

Did you switch to the 120 after while? Or kept using just the 80?

@SunnyBermuda Год назад

Yes, I’d finish with the 120 each time.

@mikedelta987 Год назад

@@SunnyBermuda thanks this will be the first time backlapping and it's going to be for the Stirling

@thompwa1 3 года назад

So, swardman reels come from the factory with a spin grind and they say you're technically not supposed to backlap a spin grind. I'm not 100% sure why but they say unless it has a relief cut into the blade it doesn't really have the same end result. I don't know enough to argue one way or the other, but I was just curious if the Allett manual says differently?

@SunnyBermuda 3 года назад

The Allett cartridge does not have a spin or relief grind on them. 🌞The manual didn't mention backlapping so I consulted my Allett buds from England. In fact, I think they recently release a similar video. I know the grass cut like butter and the reel action was quiet like scissors after doing this. Not sure about a Swardman.

@Kevin_67_RS 3 года назад

Allett has a how to backslap video on RU-vid on their official site.

What about sharpening the bottom blade???

@SunnyBermuda 2 года назад

Check out the bed knife buddy online. It’ll help keep a nice edge on it.

@johnd9357 Год назад

Back lapping does sharpen the bed knife. It restores the interface between bed knife and reel.

@chirpy999 9 месяцев назад

Good film , no need for the music though!

@SunnyBermuda 9 месяцев назад

Yeah, I haven't used it much in my latest videos. Appreciate the feedback.

@johnd9357 Год назад

Dude, only turn your reel backwards while there’s compound on it. You turning the reel into the bed knife with compound still on it is no different than driving it into a pile of sand while the machine is running. Worse, actually, because silicon carbide is way harder than sand. Only turn it backwards until you get the compound off.

@SunnyBermuda Год назад

Yep, spot on. My bad.
