Stop Lapping

The consequences of running with contact:

	A lapped reel and bedknife rubbing together creates drag
	High pressure builds on the bearings resulting in vibration and resonance
	Bearings rapidly fail
	Running with contact with a lapped reel dulls the blades
	Running with contact gives a scissor cut
	The grass suffers from a scissor cut with dull blades

So, stop lapping and

	Sharpen regularly
	Maintain no contact
	Use Rapid Facer every week
	Maintain correct bedknife angles
