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:
- Set the machine to reverse
- Apply the paste to the spindle using a brush
- Let the machine run for 2 – 5 minutes
- Repeat if necessary
- Test the cut – it should be clean and straight
- Wash the spindle thoroughly with water
- Adjust the pressure if necessary
Table for selecting abrasive paste by grit:
| Grit | Type of use | Suitable for |
| 120 Grit | Coarse grinding | Regular backlapping of hard drives |
| 180 Grit | Finer grinding | Final adjustment, slightly worn spindle |
| 220 Grit | Polishing finish | Maximum sharpness, best cut quality |
Recommendation: 180 Grit is ideal for fine finishing sanding or regular maintenance.
Conclusion
For a precise cut, easy maintenance and long life of the cutting unit, 180 Grit paste is the ideal choice. An addition for anyone who is really serious about mowing the grass.
