NOTE

These specifications are to be used as a guide only if the original equipment manufacturer’s recommendations should be followed when grinding bedknives.

The required grind should be fairly easy to determine on a used bedknife showing a wear pattern, Simply adjust the mounting bracket until the grinding stone contacts the knife surface. (Arrow A)

Then, by rotating the bracket, adjust the reference marks on the angle setting gauge on the right end of the mounting bracket.

A shallow relief angle of 10 degrees to 15 degrees would more than likely last on golf course fairway turf for and entire season (3 to 6 months) but only a week or two on a sod farm.

A steep angle, on the other hand, may last two sea- sons on golf course fairway turf and only half a season on a sod farm.
