Hi
Tom, The chassis would need to be completely stripped of
all the mechanical components and then sandblasted to remove all paint and rust. It would need to be taken to the powder-coaters
immediately so as no surface rust forms from moisture in the air.
As grumpy knows, I am not a fan of backlapping; spin grinding, in my opinion, is the only way to go.
Have a good read of my thread
HERE You may consider having the reel sandblasted at the same time and having it powder-coated at the same time before sharpening.
