BLADE WEAR
The most important part of using a wood chipper is keeping the cutter blades sharp. Timberwolf
chipper blades are hollow ground to an angle of 40 degrees. When performing daily blade checks
ensure blade edge is sharp and free from chips, if there is any evidence of damage, or the edge is “dull”
change the blade(s). The TW 150VTR is fitted with 2 blades 101mm (4") long. They are 44 mm wide
when new. A new blade should chip for up to 25 hours before it requires sharpening. This figure will
be drastically reduced by feeding the machine with stony, sandy or muddy material.
As the blade becomes blunt, performance is reduced. With increased stress and load on the machine
the chips will become more irregular and stringy. At this point the blade should be sent to a reputable
blade sharpening company. The blade can be sharpened several times in its life. A wear mark on the
reverse side indicates the safe limit of blade wear. Replace when this line is exceeded.
The machine is also fitted with a static blade (anvil). It is important that the anvil is in good condition
to allow the cutting blades to function efficiently. Performance will be poor, even with sharp cutter
blades, if the anvil is worn.
