Hi
I only just found this great site - and for all these years I thought I was the only SB 45 nutter out here - but happily for me, there seems to be lots of us!!

Anyway - to my question. Due to my, and my long departed Dad's, ignorance on reel set ups, I think I need a new reel and bed knife. The bedknife need is a certainly due to builders dropping a whole box of SS 12mm X 6G screws all over my lawn and I didn't manage to find them all - BUT SB did!!

My reel blades are well worn, so can anyone advise me on how much meat there needs to be left on a 17" SB 45 reel for a regrind to be practical
