OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Welcome to Outdoorking Forum HELP Area Introductions SB 20 " Supercut - Early Model

Hi all,

Currently undertaking a resto on an old 20" supercut, having trouble finding the correct bottom blade (bedknife? as the americans call them).

Looking at doing a chamfer type blade as I am mowing at 3-4 mm with a 17" 45 SB on QLD blue.

I have spent some time (11 years) as a bowls greenkeeper but am out of the loop these days after working out it didnt pay well!

Any info would be appreciated.

Hello mickb

A warm welcome to these forums.

I'm glad another of these Supercuts is being saved.
I shudder to think the price of making one today.
These were over-engineered to last a lifetime ... and more.

A history record is available:

A lipped, or a thicker flat blade will be the go - rather than a shaver (low-cut) blade
for your residential application (I guess).

If you are having problems sourcing a blade, I can only suggest you contact
the On-line store. It may be that Bruce can help source the correct blade.

We would love to see photos as the resto progresses.
It's best you start a new topic in the correct forum to do that.

There is a lot of info on Supercuts on these forums.
Just type Supercut in the search bar and be amazed...

Help on uploading images HERE.

Hope this helps.

Hello mickb,

Also a big warm welcome from myself,

You'll find that you can't just buy one off the shelf, rather it will have to be made. I have a chap here in Adelaide that does all the major machines for the bigger bowls clubs and nothing has beaten him yet.

If you get stuck I can pass his details on to you as he also does work for interstate clubs and thus he can send one to you.

Cheers,
BB.
