Ollie,
mmmmmmm...........back lapping ?
Ask Steve what he thinks of it on a Scotty as he and I share the same view on it.
Got my reel back this afternoon and basically there was bugger all wrong with it, so it just got the lightest of licks. It was more so the Bed knife that had the issue, something that I pointed out initially to Steve prior to him doing anything to it. Sadly the last grind I just couldn't get the reel to bed knife relationship correct, so something was wrong with the BK from the get go of the last grinding. Oh well no biggie as it still cut ok.
That was the reel out of my daily driver and yes I do it on as required basis, roughly once a year I'd say. Eventually I'll have to have a new 10 blade unit made for myself, unless I wreck one of the other 20 inch machines I have on hand which are just way too expensive to pull apart nowadays.
Just a point on the reel you dropped off. I see you had it Powder Coated, why are you doing it like that opposed to painting ?
Cheers,
BB.
PS. I thought you might be using Adam as I'm sure he'd be cheaper than Brett. Yes blasting is dead money spent isn't it ?
