How I sharpen my mower. To get a clean cut, we first need to backlap the cutting reel with a 120 grit (medium) backlapping paste. Next, we want to clean and then dry the cutting reel. Ready to be adjusted, we then set the reel to bedknife contact. To finish, a quick tidy up of the bedknife edge and we are all set to cut some grass. #cylindermower #reelmower #mower #mowing #maintenance #backlapping #sharp #cut #grass #lawn #turf
