Chipper 3pt chippers? give me the low down

[wedge40]

Id like to know that too. My 'Jinma' has an 8" wide chute throat, but the roller will only move up 6" and the height of the acceptance opening is just above 6". I think its just a H vs W thing. In order to allow any more roller movement the feed drive would have to be modified. They are getting absolutely as much as possible from flexpoints in the current design.

Point of info: I recently bought new blades for my chipper from Affordable. Of the 3 blades only one matched the original in thickness. The anvil was only a tiny bit thinner - no problem, but one of the knives was a full mm [0.040"] thinner. I was able to exchange the thin knife for a thick one. The thing is, neither Affordable nor Ranch Hand had been aware of this variance in the supply of these parts.

I'm lucky that I know a hobby machinist and will just have him make new knifes when I ever need them.. When the current set gets dull I'll have him put an edge back on both sides. Then after that make new knifes.

Would he be interested in getting $80 per set for the knives alone? The anvils are virtually forever, but you have to buy a new one with each set from the manufacturer.

I'll have to talk to him.. I pretty sure he's not interested in going into the manufacturing business. But a few here and then might be ok. He's the guy who made my ripper tooth.
