ANOTHER TRU - CUT BACK LAPPING QUESTION
Does this look like a powerful enough drill ( 3/8" drive, with 3/4" socket attached) to turn the blades on a C27 True - Cut reel for back - lapping ? And, does there need to be some play between drill and socket ? Seems like I read something like that, as to not put to much stress on bearings or something like that?

Re: ANOTHER TRU - CUT BACK LAPPING QUESTION
Should work fine just run it on the lower rpm setting of the drill if it has one and as far as play I usually take the chain off of my tru cut when I backlap but you could also use a swivel socket adapter and that may give it a little more play. If this is the first time you've backlap the mower be sure that the compound is water based for a lot easier clean up.

Re: ANOTHER TRU - CUT BACK LAPPING QUESTION
What is a "Swivel socket adapter"? Saw several different types on Google search. Why is it safer to use then the standard type I have shown ? I plan to keep the chain on while back - lapping. The compound that I have ordered is water based. Thanks for helping me.

The set up you have will work just fine. The swivel socket adapter looks like it will just allow a little "play" in the angle that your re holding the drill. I have used your set up before and it has worked perfectly.
