So the problem that I am having is that it doesn't grind Toro bed knives even. Grinder takes off to much of the bed knife in the center. So when I mount the bed knife back up in the reel the contact is great on the edges but as you travel towards the center the contact gets lighter and lighter. After a few lengthily talks on the phone with Bernhard I still haven't gotten a solution. Tuesday the Bernhard rep came out and did a few adjustments. We thought all was good but still the same problem. The picture below is what he adjusted. It is the bolt under the rear rail.
After adjusting the bolt it seemed like it was better but still isn't right. To prove that the grinder isn't working properly I took 2 bed knives that I ground over to our Sister course. Ground them on a Foley and sure enough it took about 15 min to get it true. The Foley started contact on the edges.
I put a straight edge across the bar the bed knife mounts on and I noticed that the bar has a high spot right in the middle between the two magnets. Bernhard tells me that the high spot doesn't matter. The Bernhard Rep will be here today to figure out the issue.
So the Rep is here pulled grinder apart making sure everything is parallel and true. Hopefully he finds a solution today. I will post more on this as he finds out more info.
Update on Grinding issues. After Chris pulled the grinder apart and started from scratch he got everything back square. Test ground 4 bed knives and no issues now. So a big thanks goes out to Chris with Bernhard for taking care of the issue.
