Relief-Grinding The Reel - Toro Reelmaster Edge Series Operator's Manual

Relief-Grinding the Reel

The new reel has a land width of 1.3 to 1.5 mm (0.050
to 0.060 inch) and a 30 degree relief grind.
When the land width gets larger than 3 mm (0.120
inch) wide, do the following:
1. Apply a 30 degree relief grind on all reel blades
until the land width is 1.3 mm (0.050 inch) wide
(Figure 24).

1. 30 degrees
2. Spin grind the reel to achieve <0.025 mm (0.001
inch) reel run-out.
Note:
This causes the land width to grow
slightly.
Note:
To extend the longevity of the sharpness of the
edge of the reel and the bedknife—after grinding the
reel and/or the bedknife—check the reel to bedknife
contact again after cutting 2 fairways, as any burrs
will be removed, which may create improper reel to
bedknife clearance and thus accelerate wear.
