There are several parts of saw machinery such as blades and belts that need to be replaced and maintained. Proper usage of this type of equipment is important to avoid safety hazards. Chipper knives are highly effective if they are sharp and can be hazardous if they are dull or excessively used.
Wood chippers differ in size, type and capacity and the knives which process the wood are just as varied. Rectangular in shape they are usually about 4 inches to 1.5 inches across and about 12 inches long. The thickness also ranges between 1.5 to 2 inches and blades are made from high grade steel. Often times they will contain a minimum of 8% chromium for added hardness.
Keeping the chipper knives sharp is a regular practice to achieve high efficiency of the wood saw mill. Sharper blades mean higher quality chips. In order to have a wood chipper that functions at the highest possible level, it’s important to re-shapen blades.
Counter-grinding Chipper knives is the best way to conserve knife steel and improve the quality of chips your machine produces. A counter-ground edge is also more effective for chipping.
