What is meant by “non-contact cutting system?
On the Brill Luxus the reel and the bed knife (stationary blade) clear each other by a tiny gap of 0.05 mm – less than the width of a blade of grass. Introduced by Brill in 1937, the non-contact cutting system gives the same scissor cut one expects from a reel mower but with less rolling friction and less noise. Before leaving the factory the blades of a new mower are set optimally. Periodically, if the cut becomes uneven after long use, the bottom blade setting can be corrected in a few minutes using a 10 mm wrench and the gauge supplied with the mower (or any 0.05 mm gauge).
