Seen a few set ups on Twitter and forums that the techs made systems to adjust HOC on grinding or leveling tables . The idea is to have the cutting unit weight on the bearings for adjustment . Would make a difference on lower greens HOC (height of cut ) for sure .
Mocking up the setup .
Using the leveling plate I was able to get it pretty accurate .
Getting it laid out and ready to tac weld before welding
Checking it out with a reel on it .
Welded a couple of stoppers on top . Found it would be a little cumbersome to get the heavy reels on at first ,Then
by a fluke it fit perfectly on the grinders lift table .
Now after grinding they can be rolled onto the table
and raised back up to a comfortable height for adjustment
Nice little addition to the grinder .
Check and setting HOC with accue gauge
On more pick with the solid reel mound Toro 1600 mower.
After a season, I really like it so decided to extend the legs so I wouldn't have to bend down much for adjustments .
great addition to the grinder .

Really noticed the difference in reel to bed adjustment when flipping it back onto roller on stand . Had to readjust . With the weight on the reel bearings I had light contact we're on bench adjustment it was near no contact .

Brilliant idea we use a motorcycle ramp with the middle taken out. But I like your idea of fitting to the lift table of the grinder. Will get to building one to fit our new grinder thats on order
