accident from happening.  
Getting Acquainted With Your Reel and Bedknife Sharpener  
There are some features that have been incorporated  
into this unit that may not be found on other sharpen-  
ers. Take a moment to note some of the les obvious  
advantages of your new sharpener.  
The Locke Turf Sharpeners allow a full range of  
adaptability.  
All primary points are easily accessible for main-  
tenance.  
The pump supply line is equipped with a shut-off  
valve to regulate coolant flow.  
The three (3) gallon reservoir maintains more  
than adequate coolant flow to provide less heat  
build-up during the sharpening process.  
Precision manufactured mounting brackets and  
the adjustable spin motor mounting decreases  
“set-up” time and insures ease of reel unit  
mounting and accuracy during the sharpening  
process.  
The wheel heads are positioned to provide better  
operator visibility.  
The one (1) horsepower wheel head motor pro-  
duces faster sharpening time, with less adjust-  
ment to obtain the best possible cutting results.

Safety Rules  
CAUTION  
12. ESCAPING COOLANT FLUID UNDER PRES-  
SURE CAN HAVE SUFFICIENT FORCR TO  
PENETRATE THE SKIN. CHECK ALL HOSES  
BEFORE APPLYING PRESSURE. FLUID ES-  
CAPING FROM A VERY SMALL HOLE CAN  
BE ALMOST INVISIBLE. USE PAPER OR  
CARDBOARD, NOT BODY PARTS, TO  
CHECK FOR SUSPECTED LEAKS. IF IN-  
JURED, SEEK MEDICAL ASSISTANCE FROM  
A DOCTOR THAT IS FAMILIAR WITH THIS  
TYPE OF INJURY. FOREIGN FLUIDS IN THE  
TISSUE MUST BE SURGICALLY REMOVED  
WITHIN A FEW HOURS OR GANGRENE WILL  
RESULT.  
Most accidents are the result of negligence and care-  
lessness, usually caused by failure of the operator to  
follow simple but necessary safety precautions. The  
following safety precautions are suggested to help pre-  
vent such accidents. The safe operation of any ma-  
chinery is a major concern of consumers and manufac-  
turers alike. Your Reel and Bedknife Sharpener has  
been designed with many built-in safety features.  
However, no one should operate this product before  
carefully reading the Operator’s Manual.  
1. Do not allow anyone to operate this machine who  
has not been properly trained in its safe operation.  
WARNING  
13. Using the proper coolant aids the grinding proc-  
ess, prevents heat build-up and helps control  
dust.  
2. THIS SHARPENER CAN BE DANGEROUS AND  
CAUSE BODILY HARM IF NOT PROPERLY  
USED OR GUARDED. DO NOT ALLOW ANY-  
ONE TO ASSIST IN GRINDING; OBSERVERS  
SHOULD BE DISCOURAGED, OR REMAIN AT A  
SAFE DISTANCE!  
14. Do not single blade or relief grind reels unless  
the finger guide is the correct distance from the  
grinding wheel and fully secured.  
3. Be alert to others in the area while grinding.  
4. Do not let children operate the grinder.  
5. Never allow horse play around the grinder.  
6. Always wear safety glasses when grinding.  
Prior To Operation  
1. Familiarize yourself with all controls and safety  
precautions.  
2. Before grinding, clear the work area of objects  
and debris that could become entangled in the  
reel or thrown from the sharpener.  
7. To prevent personal injury caused by thrown ob-  
jects, the use of front and rear canopy shields is  
an absolute necessity when spin grinding the  
reels.  
3. Always insure that ht ereel is fully secured in the  
mounting brackets before spin grinding. When  
using “Out of Frame” brackets be sure the bear-  
ings are seated properly in the bearing housing  
collets. Using the “All Thread” adjusting rods of  
the Out of Frame Bracket Assembly, press the  
bearings squarely onto the reel unit shafts.  
8. Never spin grind reels while the canopy is in the  
raised position. As it is necessary to have the  
front canopy open, or raised, during “Relief”

SECTION 2—ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS AND SET-UP  
Uncrating the Sharpener  
Refer to Figures 2-1 and 2-2:  
1. First, remove the eight (8) bolts securing he sharp- 5.  
ener to the pallet. Fig. 2-1 (#1)  
Shift the sharpener back over the anchors and  
replace the legs.  
2. Using a fork lift, narrow the forks so they slide un-  
der the drain pan from the rear. Be careful to  
avoid hoses and electrical components. Make  
sure that the forks do not slide all the way up to  
the back of the Control Panel, Fig. 2-2 (#2), but  
have deep enough to lift the sharpener such that it  
is not unbalanced or top heavy.  
6.  
7.  
Holding the legs to the side wall of the sharp-  
ener, fasten bolts until finger tight. Fig. 2-1 (#4)  
Place an engineer’s level on the two (2) round  
bars directly over each end of the cast bed.  
Level the sharpener front to back and left to  
right. Use flat shim stock under the four bolts  
around the base of the sharpener for proper  
leveling, if needed.  
Locating The Grinder  
NOTE  
8.  
9.  
Tighten the anchor bolts securely to the floor.  
Fig. 2-1 (#1)  
The following instructions apply mainly to a  
Combination Sharpener only. However, it is  
the manufacturer’s recommendation that, if  
space is available, this locating procedure be  
followed:  
IMPORTANT  
Do not tighten the stabilizer legs to sharp-  
ener before securing them to the floor.  
Place the sharpener in a location with adequate light-  
ing. It is considered that 13,400 Lumens at the working  
surface is adequate. This amount of lighting can be  
obtained by two (2) 8-foot fluorescent lights at a mini-  
mum height of 8 feet.  
Tighten the stabilizer legs (#5) to sharpener  
through slots at (#4).  
Leave a minimum of four (4) feet between the controls  
and the wall in back of the operator, if such is the case.  
The sharpener should face an open area of the shop  
as the reel units will be installed from the “shop side” of  
the sharpener.  
Securing the Sharpener  
IMPORTANT  
Read steps 1 through 9 before starting. Im-  
proper leveling may cause distortion of the  
sharpener bed.  
1. Remove any brackets that have been installed for  
shipping.  
2. Attach a stabilizer leg to each end, but do not  
tighten. Fig. 2-1 (#4).  
3. Mark the floor through the four (4) holes at the  
base of the sharpener and the two (2) at each sta-  
bilizer leg. Fig. 2-1 (#1).  
4. Remove the legs, shift sharpener out of the way,  
drill holes in the floor and insert anchors.

Prove beneficial in those times when a “quick” refresh-  
ing of the reel is needed, I.e. after top dressing.  
Overview—The RS 5100 is the latest development  
in the family of reel and bedknife sharpeners manufac-  
tured by Locke Turf.  
The relief grinding operation is accomplished in most  
cases without the need to remove the front or rear  
roller of a mowing unit.  
Incorporating the dual wheel head, which is an exclu-  
sive and unique feature of the Locke Turf sharpeners,  
we now offer a 6” diameter grinding stone for sharpen-  
ing and grinding reels.  
The RS 5100 utilizes the same quick attach brackets  
for securing reel units in the grinder for servicing.  
These brackets offer several benefits some of which  
are holding the reel unit in the sharpener via the bear-  
ing housings (which is the most accurate means to  
hold a reel for service), keeps grinding grit out of the  
reel bearings while grinding and will enable most reel  
units to be held in the grinder without removing the  
rollers. Another benefit is the fact that one can rotate  
the frame of the mowing unit to a position that will  
allow greatest access to the reel without interference  
of any part of the frame or its components.  
The RS 5100 is a complete grinding system. Equipped  
with a powerful one (1) HP motor with a cupped stone  
on one end for sharpening bedknives and the new 6”  
stone on the other end for grinding reels.  
The benefits of he 6” stone is the ability to relief grind  
small diameter, multi blade reels with much more ease.  
The smaller head permits spin grinding only without the  
need of removing the bedknife assembly. This will  
Once the column has cleared the “V” stop, you can  
now rotate the wheel head into position for grinding.  
The guard for the wheel head not being used must be  
replaced and securely in position. The wheel head  
without operate with both shields off.  
Changing Wheel heads  
The 5100 series is equipped with the unique “dual  
wheel head.” On the left end of the motor is the stone  
for grinding reels. The right end of the motor is the  
cupped stone for grinding bedknives.  
Tighten the pedestal knob on the side of the column.  
Disconnect and change water supply to the appropri-  
ate position.  
To change form one to the other, loosen the pedestal  
knob on the side of the column. (Fig. 3-24, Page 21)  
Raise the column up approximately 1” by turning hand  
wheel on top of the column.  
Follow procedures in Section 3 for spin, relief and  
bedknife grinding.

Spin Grinding  
NOTE  
When discussing spin grinding, any reference  
to the carriage or its associated parts means  
the reel carriage, located to the right as viewed  
for the operator’s side.  
1. Open front canopy and adjust wheel head away  
form work table bars by turning infeed screw hand  
wheel counter clockwise, bringing wheel head  
towards operator. Figure 3-1  
Right Limit Stop  
Figure 3-3  
3. Close the front canopy and open the rear canopy.  
4. Securely attach the mounting brackets to the reel  
unit.  
5. Place the reel unit into the grinder making sure  
the mounting brackets are fitted properly and  
sitting firmly on the work table bars. Leave the  
mounting bracket bases loose in the work table  
bars. Figure 3-4

6. Manually move grinding carriage left and right  
making sure there is ample clearance between the  
stone and the end of the reel blades. (It may be  
necessary to reposition the reel unit slightly.)  
When satisfied that the grinding wheel clears the  
reel unit at both ends, tighten the brackets. Figure  
3-5.  
Micro Switch Turned to the Left  
Figure 3-6  
There are two ways to make reel adjustments:  
A. The grinder’s movable base is used if the bed-  
knife is adjusted to the reel.  
B. The reel unit’s own adjusters may be used if  
the reel to bedknife adjustment is made by  
moving the reel to the knife.  
Refer to Figure 3-6 and 3-7:  
Manually turn traverse micro switch arm (the white ny-  
lon rod) to the left. Move reel grinding carriage to the  
left of the reel unit making sure the grinding wheel  
clears the end of the reel blades. Keeping the carriage  
in this position slide the limit stop to the right until the  
actuating screw throws the traverse micro switch arm  
to the right. Tighten the handle on the center limit stop.  
Set the right limit stop in the opposite manner.

Now attach the drive coupler from the spin motor to the  
reel. In most cases, town wobble extensions work well.  
Figure 3-8  
NOTE  
The spin motor shaft must be removed and in-  
stalled on the opposite side of the drive unit for  
left drive reels. Do not turn drive assembly  
around on work table bars. (Fig 3-9A)  
Once these steps have been completed, all mounting  
brackets on the reel unit and bases should be se-  
curely tightened. When grinding reels of the same  
make and model, subsequent units will be easier to  
place after the initial setup.  
7. Close the rear canopy.  
8. Open the front canopy.  
9. A depth gauge is supplied to check that the reel’s  
center shaft is parallel with the wheel head travel.  
Loosen the screw in the alignment stem collar  
and slide the alignment stem for ward until it  
makes contact with the reel’s center shaft.  
Tighten the screw in the collar and remove depth  
gauge. Move carriage to opposite end of the reel  
and repeat instructions; taking notice of any dif-  
ferences, make adjustments accordingly. Figure  
3-10  
Wobble Extensions  
Figure 3-8  
Be sure the extension is as straight as possible. Ad-  
justing the spin motor on its bracket may be necessary.  
Good alignment eliminates drive line chatter. Figure 3-

16. Start the coolant pump, using only a “trickle” of  
coolant for spin grinding.  
17. Begin the spin grinding operation. Grind the reel  
until the leading edge has a square and sharp  
edge. For best results, infeed the wheel at  
0.001” (one tooth per stroke). See the following  
instructions to set the auto infeed indexing ratchet  
wheel.  
Indexing The Ratchet Wheel  
RPM Setting  
Figure 3-11  
The ratchet wheel, located just behind the hand  
wheel, is used to automatically index the amount of  
“in-feed” of the wheel head. Figure 3-12  
13. Start the wheel head.  
CAUTION  
PROLONGED CONTACT BETWEEN THE STONE  
AND REEL MAY CAUSE THE STONE TO CHIP OR  
BREAK APART, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY TO  
THE OPERATOR. DAMAGE TO THE REEL MAY  
ALSO RESULT.  
14. With the carriage in the center of the reel, care-  
fully adjust wheel head “in” toward reel until slight  
contact is made. Manually move grinding car-  
riage left and right. If excessive vibrations or loud  
grinding sounds occur, quickly adjust wheel head  
“out,” away from the reel or press the “master kill”  
button. Check mounting brackets, reel bearings,  
etc., to make sure all are secure.  
NOTE  
Sometimes reels wear in either a concave or convex  
fashion. If the grinding wheel makes contact with the  
reel only in the center it indicates convex wear. Set  
limit stops so wheel head travels just beyond points  
of contact. Read through the following steps, then  
grind reel until contact is make throughout wheel  
head’s range of travel. Repeat step 15. If no contact  
is made beyond points just ground, move limit stops  
out slightly and regrind. Continue this procedure until  
contact is make throughout entire length of reel. If  
wear is concave, reel will have to be ground at each  
end. Set limit stops as indicated by step 6 and grind  
until contact is make throughout entire length of reel.  
Ratchet Wheel  
Figure 3-12  
The amount of “in-feed” per traverse cycle is set by  
adjusting the screw on the center limit stop. One, two  
or three teeth can be indexed, infeeding the grinding  
wheel 0.001, 0.002 or 0.003 inch per traverse cycle  
respectively.

For reels, only 0.001 inch per traverse cycle  
is recommended by the manufacturer.  
15. If the results of step 14 are satisfactory, engage  
and start traverse.  
NOTE  
Engaging Traverse  
5100 Series—Traverse engage lever is located on  
the left side of the carriage plate. Move it to the cen-  
ter position.  
The distance of travel will vary slightly with  
the speed of travel. The carriage will  
“overrun” the return stop if the speed is in-  
creased without readjusting the screw.

The total amount of “in-feed” can be pre-selected from  
2 to 35 teeth (0.002 to 0.035 inch), by setting the  
knock-off arm located directly behind the ratchet wheel.  
In-feeding stops automatically when the knock-off arm  
has rotated around and makes contact with the ratchet  
“pawl.” Figure 3-13

Ratchet Pawl  
Figure 3-13  
NOTE  
Look down on the reel from immediately above the  
grinding wheel to be certain that the grinding wheel  
makes contact with the reel blade on one corner only.  
The peak of the finger guide must be directly below  
this point of contact. If you have another reel in which  
the blades “spiral” in the opposite direction, the grind-  
ing wheel will only make contact on the opposite cor-  
ner. For this reason the finger guide plate must be  
reversed.  
Manual Relief Grinding  
1. Remove the drive coupler form the spin motor.  
2. Slide the limit stops to each end of the stop rail so  
that they do not interfere wit the ratchet mecha-  
nism. Otherwise, undesired infeeding might occur  
unnoticed.  
The helix, or “spiral” of reel blades differs according to  
the manufacturer. A close look at the finger guide  
reveals that the peak is positioned to one side of the  
grinding wheel. When the leading edge of the reel  
blade contacts the “right” side of the grinding wheel  
for relief grinding. If the leaking edge of the reel blade  
contacts the “left” side of the grinding wheel for relief  
grinding. The finger guide plate is reversible to allow  
for his adjustment. Also, the hole in the finger guide  
plate is elongated to allow for readjustment as the  
stone wears.  
3. Disengage the traverse.  
4. Adjust the wheel head out away from the reel 1” to  
1-1/2”.  
5. Move the finger guide into position. Maintain a  
clearance no greater than 1/8” between the guide  
plate and grinding stone—the closer the better.  
Figure 3-14  
CAUTION  
IF THE BLADE DOES NOT SIT FIRMLY ON  
THE FINGER GUIDE, BROKEN OR CHIPPED  
PIECES OF STONE OR SHARP BITS OF  
METAL MAY CAUSE INJURY TO THE OP-  
ERATOR.

7. Starting at the end of a reel blade, carefully move  
the wheel head in toward the blade. Take extreme  
care that the blade you are grinding is placed  
firmly on the finger guide slope. At this point, do  
not let the grinding stone make contact with the  
blade. Check for clearance between the “next  
blade” and the grinding wheel. Figure 3-15  
8. Start the wheel head.  
9. Start eh coolant pump at full flow.  
10. Adjust the wheel head “in” to achieve the desired  
grind.

WARNING  
INITAILLY, UNTIL THE OPERATOR IS VERY  
USED TO THIS OPERATION, WE RECOM-  
MEND THAT HE GRINDING CARRIAGE BE  
MOVED BY HAND TO INSURE BETTER CON-  
TROL.  
NOTE  
The lower the position of the finger guide, the greater  
the relief angle imparted to each blade. Conversely,  
the lower the center of the grinding wheel, the greater  
the relief angle. If the blade is positioned from the  
center of the grinding wheel (or above), no relief will  
be ground on the blade.  
11. Pull the carriage along gently when starting the  
relief grinds. Remember to have the coolant at full  
flow.  
The guard (A) the finger guide is mounted to may be  
rotated to gain more grinding angles. Simply loosen  
the Allen screw (B) and move guard to the desired  
location and re-tighten. Figure 3-17  
CAUTION  
WHEN MANUALLY TURNING THE REEL, BE  
SURE TO KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF PINCH  
POINTS BETWEEN THE REEL AND STONE.  
12. Make sure the grinding wheel clears the end of  
one blade before indexing to the next. There are  
two (2) methods of relief grinding:  
A
a. Manually move the carriage to one end  
and return on the same blade before in-  
dexing to the next blade.  
b. As the carriage reaches the end of one  
blade, the grinding wheel is moved clear  
of the blade, the reel is indexed to the  
next blade, and this blade if ground as the  
carriage returns.  
B
Continue this operation until every blade is completely  
ground to the original equipment manufacturer’s speci-  
fications. The thickness and hardness of the blades  
being sharpened determines how much material can  
be ground in one pass. With experience, the operator  
will get a feel for different blades.  
13. The angle of relief is adjustable using the thumb  
bolt. Turn the thumb bolt clockwise for less angle  
and counter-clockwise for a greater relief angle.

Grinding the Angles  
These specification are to be used as a guide  
only if the original equipment manufacturer's  
specifications are not available. The manufac-  
turer's recommendations should be followed  
when grinding reels.  
Relief grinding should be “tailored” to suit the applica-  
tion of the reel mower. The angle of the grind should  
be sufficient to last for a full season of use before nor-  
mal wear completely removes all the relief. For exam-  
ple, a mower being used on Kentucky bluegrass fair-  
ways in Ohio will experience much less wear that a  
mower being used on a Zoysia grass sod field in Ari-  
zona  
A 10 degree relief angle is considered minimum; a 25  
degree relief angle average and a 45 degree relief  
angle the maximum that should be ground on reel  
blades.  
The land area of reel blades should have a surface no  
wider than .060 or less, which is equal to approxi-  
mately 1/3 of the blade thickness.

NOTE  
Sharpening Bedknives  
The tool bar assembly is supplied with spacer blocks  
of three different thickness and “L” brackets of two (2)  
different lengths. Use these to adjust the height of the  
bedknife assembly to provide correct access for  
sharpening. Figure 3-2  
1. Install tool bar assembly on work table. Mount the  
bedbar with “leading edge” or “front face” of bed-  
knife up on the tool bar and tighten the “L” bracket  
clamping bolts. Figure 3-18  
Bedknife Spacer Blocks and “L” Brackets  
Figure 3-20  
“L” Brackets  
Figure 3-18  
3. Place the “Angle Finder” on top of the tool bar  
and set the desired angle for grinding. Refer to  
the reel manufacturer’s recommendations for the  
proper angle. Feel free to “scribe” your own  
marks for quick reference. Figure 3-21  
NOTE  
The two (2) location brackets can be relocated along  
the toolbar to accommodate bed bars of varying length.  
2. Make sure the back of the bedknife is flush with  
the key stock. Do not place bedbar screws on key  
stock. This will result in improper grinding of the  
bedknife. Figure 3-19

4. The cupped grinding stone should not extend be-  
yond the guard. Adjust the wheel head vertically  
on the pedestal mount so the inside edge of the  
cupped grinding stone is slightly below the top  
edge of the bedknife. This will insure an even  
wear pattern on the grinding face of the stone.  
Figure 3-22  
6. Set the limit stops so the wheel head clears each  
end of the bedknife by one (1) inch or more.  
7. Manually move grinding carriage left to right to  
insure that all points are clear.  
8. Start thee pump on full flow. The nozzle should  
direct the coolant to the point of cupstone and the  
bedknife.  
CAUTION  
9. Start the wheel head motor.  
INJURY COULD OCCUR TO THE OPERA-  
TOR IF THE CUPPED STONE CHIPS OR  
BREAKS APART. MAKE SURE THE OUT-  
SIDE EDGE OF THE CUPPED WHEEL  
DOES NOT MAKE CONTACT WITH  
OUTHER PARS OF THE BEDBAR OR  
MOUNTING BRACKET. Figure 3-23  
10. Manually infeed the wheel head until there is  
slight contact with the bedknife. Traverse the  
wheel head the full length of the bedknife to in-  
sure there are no “high spots” and that the bed-  
knife is equal distance from the cupstone.  
11. Engage and start the traverse. Continue to grind  
until the bedknife has a straight, sharp edge.  
12. Disengage the traverse and manually back the  
wheel head away from the bedknife. Stop the  
grinder.  
13. Loosen the handles on the sides of the tool bar  
and rotate the bedknife ±90 degrees from its pre-  
sent position. (This is easiest form the back of  
the grinder, but it can be accomplished from ei-  
ther side.) Assuer that when the bedknife is ro-  
tated the “top face” of the bedknife will be “down  
under.” Figure 3-25  
5.  
Repeat steps 6 through 12 and remove your  
sharpened bedknife.  
Once the adjustments in step 4 are complete, tighten  
the knob, making sure it seats into the groove of the  
pedestal. Figure 3-24

NOTE  
These specifications are to be used as a guide only if  
the original equipment manufacturer’s recommendations  
should be followed when grinding bedknives.  
The required grind should be fairly easy to determine on  
a used bedknife showing a wear pattern, Simply adjust  
the mounting bracket until the grinding stone contacts  
the knife surface. (Arrow A)  
Then, by rotating the bracket, adjust the reference  
marks on the angle setting gauge on the right end of the  
mounting bracket.

SECTION 4—MAINTENANCE & LUBRICATION  
Clean-Up  
1. After use, wash the unit with its own water supply  
which should have an anti-rust additive. The res-  
ervoir holds approximately three gallons of clear  
water and recommended amounts of anti-rust ad-  
ditive.  
2. Keep the wheel head carriage assembly clean.  
Figure 4-1  
Refer to Figure 4-2 and 4-3:  
Using a chain and cable lubricant, occasionally oil the  
chain with a light coating. Chain and cable lube in a  
spray can is very effective. Use 30 wt oil on guide rails  
and work table rails. Use 90 wt oil on grease fittings  
and carriages.  
NOTE  
The long life of this machine is based on the  
quality of maintenance and continued use of  
anti-rust additive in the coolant.

Dressing the Stone  
For true roundness, dressing with an optional diamond  
dressing tool works well. To remove glazing, open the  
pores and reshape the cupped stone. An optional  
granite dressing stick may be used.  
A. Disconnect the power supply.  
B. Remove the rear cover from the machine.  
C. Pull the drain hose out of the lid.  
D. Slide the tank out.

Frequently Asked Questions  
CAUTION  
SAFETY SHIELDS ARE INSTALLED FOR YOUR PROTECTION.  
1. Why does the sharpener have safety shields?  
Grinding stones frequently chip or even shatter, injuring the operator of an unshielded sharpener. Also,  
in spin grinding, an unshielded rotating reel presents a considerable hazard to loose clothing, fingers, hands and  
other objects. The rotating reel can also break free if a bearing fails a shaft break free if a bearing fails, a shaft  
breaks or a blade weld fails, sending metal fragments flying.  
2. Why does the sharpener have the water/coolant mix?  
Grinding reels creates an extreme amount of dust. There are documented cases of operators suffering  
injury from inhaling grinding dust. Also, the water/coolant mix helps cool the edges being ground. A blade,  
when subjected to excessive heat, may lose its temper. The result is a softer metal and a quicker wearing of the  
edges while mowing.  
3. Why is there a variable speed drive?  
In spin grinding reels, the peripheral or tip speed of the reel blades in relation to the speed of the grind-  
ing stone is directly related to the quality of the finish grind. Therefore, variable speed on these drive motors  
allows proper adjustment. Consult the chart for the diameter reel being ground. Some makes of reel mowers  
(e.g., Ransomes, John Deere, Jacobsen Greens King) have both right and left hand drive. Having a drive mo-  
tor which facilitates driving from either side is necessary.  
4. Why is the sharpener built so heavy?  
Grinding reels is a precision operation. The guide rails, reel and bedknife brackets and grinder sup-  
ports must be built soundly and solidly to keep the grinder stone moving parallel to the spinning reel or finished  
grind on a bedknife. This sharpener’s base weighs over five hundred (500) pounds and the guide rails are set  
permanently into the frame, parallel and not adjustable by the operator. The heavy construction helps insure the  
components are solidly mounted, unlikely to become misaligned through frame twisting. It is important to level  
the sharpener and bolt it permanently to the floor. This helps insure true, accurate grinding.  
5. Why are brackets used to attach units into the sharpener?  
We use brackets that bolt into the same place as the bedknife shoe if available. Using these attach-  
ment points means that the reel us being ground in the same relationship as it is used in the field. Other sharp-  
eners, which use rollers and/or axles to hold a reel unit, introduce the potential of inaccurate grinding due to  
worn bearings in the roller of axle. Misalignment between rollers and axles with the reel’s axles may occur.  
Mounting the reel unit at the points where the bedknife attaches means that the operator need only concern him-  
self with adjusting the reel parallel to the movement of the grinding wheel on the guide bars.  
6. Why is it necessary to grind a new bedknife? Hasn’t it been ground at the factory?  
Bedknives are ground to certain specifications at various stages of their construction. They also un-  
dergo stress which will frequently bow or twist them. Furthermore, even new bedknives should always be  
mounted to their particular shoe prior to sharpening. If a bedknife style will not allow grinding, some bedbars  
must be surfaced before attaching the knives. In some cases a light twisting of the bedknife as it is forced to  
conform to the shoe. Sharpening must occur after mounting or the straight edge will be lost due to this twisting.
