Locke C-125 - Manual (Page 11)

Resharpening Reels
For maximum performance and to achieve the
finest cut, reels should be reground with a relief.
For best results, the “land” area should be no
wider than 1/64” to begin the season. (See figure
below) Modern reel grinders are capable of pro-
ducing a relief, finishing off the cylinder with a
light spin grind.
Re-sharpening Bed knives
Depending on the amount of use, bed knives may
be re-sharpened once or twice before replacing
them is necessary. Regrind both top and front
faces to the specifications shown. (See figure
below) When replacing bed knives, the new
knives must be sharpened after they have been
bolted to the bed bar, before they are reinstalled
in the cutting unit.
NOTE: Warranty claims relating to quality of cut
or power loss will not be considered if reels are
operated without a relief grind.
