Chipper Chipper Blades

[Treemonkey1000]

On my Morbark chipper I run around 10-20 hours on a set of knives before rotating.

I kind of keep a mental note on what I have been running through the chipper, and keep track of the hours via the hour meter.

Keeping the gap adjusted with respect to the anvil is also very important.

If I have even the slightest notion of any metal in the wood, I will set it aside for a burn pile.

It seems to me that a piece of rebar going through a chipper can get very expensive.

Or deadly with rebar.. You only get about 20 hours on your knives? Doing a lot of hardwoods or trees growing in the sand?

I look at it like my chain saw ...... If I am cutting clean green wood it stays sharp longer , If I am cutting dead dirty wood it dulls quicker..... hit metal / rock, not good.
