Gang & Reel mower sharpening products
The cutting edges on hedge cutters, gang & reel mowers blades can quickly dull and go blunt leading to poor cutting quality and slower cutting times.
They can also be easily damaged through stones and hard objects which can impact the blades and damage the blades.
Developed for golf courses, sports fields, sporting venues and municipal organisations it allows quick sharpening on-site without the machine needing to return to the depot.
This means that while the machine is on-site and the operator can tell there is a problem, they can quickly and easily solve the problem and continue the work, rather than continue with a poor-quality cut, or having to stop cutting.
Or alternatively after every use the blades can be quickly cleaned and the cutting edges honed to the required sharpness in a matter of minutes ready for the next days use.
What is Cutting edge?
Cutting Edge from Bio8 is a water based cohesive gel, that is also commonly called a Lapping paste or Back lapping paste.
It enhances the performance of cutting using different grades of silicon carbide grit incorporated into a water based cohesive gel that can finish your blades from coarse to fine cutting edge dependent on your needs.
It’s extremely simple to use, safe to transport and apply, and any residues are water based and just wash away with water.
