A sharp reel is a clean cut
A cylinder mower only cuts as well as its reel and bedknife are sharpened. R&R Products' Silicon Citrus reel sharpening compound is a silicon carbide grinding gel used to lap the reel against the bedknife by hand or in a bench spinner, restoring a clean, even edge without removing more metal than necessary.
Silicon carbide gel, citrus scented
Supplied ready-mixed in a 5 kg bucket, this is a silicon carbide-based grinding compound with a lemon-fresh scent - noticeably more pleasant to work with than traditional oil-based lapping compounds, without compromising cutting performance. Choose the grit that matches your maintenance task from the option above.

Frequently asked questions
Which grit should I use?
Start coarse (50-80) if the edge is nicked or badly worn, then finish with a finer grit (120-220) for the smoothest, most durable edge. Many workshops keep two or three grits on the bench for exactly this reason.
Does this work with a lapping/spinning machine?
Yes - it's designed for both hand lapping and bench spin-grinding setups.
Is it in stock?
Yes, this is a stock item at our partner Krima Trading AB (R&R Products' Swedish distributor), typically ready to ship.
Do you sell the reels and bedknives themselves too?
Yes - see our other cylinder mower maintenance products, or contact us and we'll help you find the right part for your specific machine.
