Thanks mate, yeh when doing a light touch up sharpen i leave the blades on and use a small rotary tool as well. But if they need a big sharpen i always split them apart to properly dress the mating surfaces 👍
Thanks, Some blades do have bigger gaps then others from factory so it can vary from make to make so its hard to say really. If it is not cutting very well that might be a sign that something is wrong. 👍
If youre charging hourly. How long did it take you from start to finish. Whole job including regrease gearbox, cleaning cutter bar and shim and spacer etc. I'm a small plant tech and always feel bad for how long it takes me and I charge am hourly rate. Thanks for any advice. Regards Matt
Probably around the hour mark, so thats the minimum you should be charging for a thorough job. Most shops dont even take the blades apart and do a shoddy job of sharpening, Talk to the customer and see what they want, as there is different levels of service. 👍
