Episode 136 The best so far. This is the episode I have been waiting for. Thank you for this podcast. I have one huge question burning in my mind. why does the reel mower industry treat reel to bed knife interaction like a scissor and not a shear? It is a shear and any machinist knows that there should be a gap of about 10% of the material being cut.
