Preparing a Reel for Grinding

Note: Check to make sure reel bearings are in good condition and properly adjusted before grinding reel.

1.Remove bedbar assembly (see Bedbar Removal and Installation).

2.Remove front roller and brackets (see Roller Re- moval and Installation).

Note: Most reel grinders require that the rear roller assembly be mounted to the cutting unit for proper sup- port in the reel grinder. The rear roller must be parallel to the reel shaft to remove taper when grinding, or the cutting unit must be aligned so the grinding wheel will travel parallel to the reel shaft. This will result in the the reel being ground to the desired cylinder shape.

Note: When grinding, be careful to not overheat the reel blades. Remove small amounts of material with each pass of the grinder.

3.After completing grinding process:

A.Install front roller and brackets (see Roller Re- moval and Installation).

B.Install bedbar assembly (see Bedbar Removal and Installation).

C.Complete cutting unit set±up and adjustment se- quence (see Adjustments section).
