Be kind to your chipper knives . Although
they are high quality tool steel they are not
indestructible . All chippers will perform
better when chipping fresh, green, clean
limbs . The moisture in the limbs lubricates
the knives and reduces friction . (Do not
however attempt to chip rotten wood since
it will plug your chipper)
Although you can chip dry material, this will
wear the knives at a faster rate than fresh
green material . You must use your best
judgment on this type of material . Try to
avoid dirty limbs, since the dirt is abrasive
and will reduce life expectancy .
Always avoid material that may contain
nails or foreign objects .
Treat your chipper knives as you would a chain
saw chain or the blades of a lawn mower. Be
conscious of what you feed into the chipper, and
you will get a lot of work out of a set of knives.
How Long Will My
Chipper Knives Last?
We get asked this question very often. WoodMaxx chippers are equipped with knives
made from very high quality tool steel. That being said, all chipper knives will dull
over time and will require sharpening or replacing at some point. If you treat the
knives with the same respect as your chainsaw chain, you will get the longest life
out of them. Follow the guidelines below to get the most out of your chipper knives.
