What is backlapping and why do it?
Backlapping is a method where the spindle rotates in the opposite direction to normal mowing while applying abrasive paste to it. It provides fine sharpening without significant material loss - ideal for regular maintenance and extending service intervals.

How to do it:

1. Set the machine to reverse
2. Apply the paste to the spindle using a brush
3. Let the machine run for 2 – 5 minutes
4. Repeat if necessary
5. Test the cut – it should be clean and straight
6. Wash the spindle thoroughly with water
7. Adjust the pressure if necessary

Table for selecting abrasive paste by grit:

Recommendation: For standard maintenance and sharpening, choose 120 Grit. For fine-tuning or maintenance of newer or less worn cutting units, use the finer 180 Grit paste.

Conclusion
Backlapping is the most effective method for keeping the cutting unit sharp on reel mowers – especially when using the right grinding compound. Regular use reduces maintenance, improves lawn quality and reduces long-term costs. For anyone who is serious about mowing.
