- How I sharpen my chipper blades with a tip from Arborist Blair Glen. If you chipper doesn't 'Self Feed' and vibrates a lot it's time to sharpen the blades. Sharpening and changing chipper blades is a dangerous job. Do it at your own risk.

Nice tricks, thanks! That cardboard shim to support the blades while re-mounting saved some serious fiddling time! It's a shame how gun-shy folks get about their sharpening technique; too many edge-perfectionists. If it works and does the job, it's a win in my book!
I use a Flat neodymium magnet that i embedded and glued on flat thin 1/8" wood paint stick you can put the blade on the magnetic stick and move it where you need to go to get the bolts it works great, Great video ....just subscribed
Always look forward to your videos and this one was no exception as I will beed to sharpen my chipper blades. You talked me out of buying a HF chipper Shredder, (may be difficult to buy parts should something go wrong) and was great advice in the end . This past week I bought a PTO driven Chipper and I am so pleased with it. It self feeds. I measured one limb that was 4 inches in diameter, and the chipper ate it like a champ on its own. Mostly I feed 2 inch limbs, or smaller as anything larger goes for firewood. I start the limb and go get another one while the chipper eats that one, yet it out works me. I am rethinking how I pile my limbs, and how I cut off the branches that "Y" for I can feed it faster. Good video and thanks for posting.
Hi, neighbor. I'm across the river in Southbury. I have a Wallenstein 3-point hitch chipper for the back of my 30-HP JD that worked great when it was new, but doesn't pull the material in any more. I've had the blades out and sharpened them on a surface grinder, but maybe I got the angle slightly wrong. A little different system, in that the blades work against a fixed base blade in an almost scissor action. Done right, the chips are huge, almost too big for mulch. But it does eat 5" diameter logs! Now your video makes me want to try sharpening them again! But after this snow melts...
And I think it's kind of funny that there would be a wood chipper video from Newtown. I' m sure most viewers are not aware of the gruesome history. :-)
If you tell me you've got some land, or horses, I'm going to be very jealous. You wouldn't go wrong getting a second set of blades. First, you could compare the angles to the ones in the chipper. Second you could see how the machine runs with the new blades. If it runs like new you know it's the blades. Then you can decide whether to give it another go or drop them off to be sharpened.
I admit my sharpening is nowhere near as good as new blades but it's good enough if I don't get crazy.
The two Morgans are long dead, but buried on the 11 acres! :-) Kettletown.
And that's life in Southbury! I could make do with 5 acres.
Nice videos bud. Much appreciated. I like the higher level of details you give.
I use 4 1/2" flap wheels they come in several grits and seem to last good, but main thing is they give even metal removal control good vid thanx
Cabela's sells Yutrax ramps aluminum and arched. I load my chipper up in the rain with ease into my pickup truck. Also, the blades don't need to be razor sharp, a thick piece of wood will chip the blade because of the thin edge on the blade.
Great show
Back in the 80's I ran a lawn service. I took the lawn mower blades, and had a welder put hard surface on the blade cutting edge. Then sharpened them They would go longer between sharpening. May work for chipper blades as well.
Unless an errant piece of gravel shatters the added too hard steel.
No. It won't work. Terrible idea.
Thanks for the video I just bought a used chipper for 50 bucks, replaced the carburetor and Ignition coil and I'm gonna do a little maintenance to make sure it runs like it's supposed to
Better than the prybar, always unplug your spark plug before you open anything up on a chipper.
Better yet, loosen the spark plug to eliminate any residual compression as the cylinder is turned.
Great demo video, it might not be the perfect method but probably much better than most mower shops would do !
What is the chipper in this video.. it has a super fine cut
Thank you!
Great video. Very detailed and clear. Thank you.
going to make a jig too, like that you will have the same angle when sharpen both at the same time
At 9:00, the foam pad conforms to the blade, resulting in a slightly rounded edge that noticeably changes the actual edge angle.
Great video, thanks for posting it.
This was hypnotizing and satisfying but I really could use a new link for the materials that you used
why not use a magnet to hold/move blades?
Spark plug wire off before working on any mower chipper
Case G 👍always remove spark plug... but if are a noon, dont attempt any of this
Wow you've been putting that chipper to work!!
The mulch it makes is as good as anything I can buy. Who knew?
nice job, some good tips and tricks on this video.
Thanks Tom.
Painters stick with some tape will hold the blade on while you line up bolts

Is the idea really to get these blades that sharp? Beyond some nirvana sharpness don’t they wear out / get nicked faster like lawnmower blades if too sharp? Although, I know my thickness planer has sharp blades so maybe similarly chippers despite all the noise are just glorified wood shavers.
No point going beyond the air grinder. Hand finishing with the diamond files and the micro-bevel are a complete waste of time on equipment like this. If he's happy, cool.
I believe you are best to have an angle gauge and check the blade angle and keep it as new, also file for the course sharpening and like the diamond finish you showed, thanks for the teaching Sir
Nice video man!
Best part was putting it at good working height. I have back and knee problems from working on hard floors for many years and now I use my head instead and it makes it so much easier to work. Thanks for the upload.
Hi
And easier to video.
This is a great video if you can include a fresh link it looks like this one is not working
should the blade fit into the notch of the disc its screwed onto? Look like you had it too low and it was at a slight angle. freeze frame at 15:35 and look at bottom of blade to see notch I am referring to.
Agreed
My blades must be really dull brand new they hurt my hands from vibration and do not pull the pieces in I have to feet it, but I bought an earthquake shredder model number 33968 . I'll probably sharpen them, inspect them , maybe came dull for a reason
Nice video what's the part number on your blades.
I was told sharpening with a grinder is no good cus the balance gets off and messes up bearings. Grinder also takes the temper out the metal and they’re able to get dull easier in the future. But a machine shop does it for 40$
My God, you must work for OSHA with all the safety stuff!
And what would be wrong with that?
Both OSHA and EPA were there doing the video taping. Bejamin. You asked what would be wrong with that? Nothing other than you can expect to be red tagged and fined even if you did nothing wrong. It's kind of the same as getting puled over by the D.O.T. YOU'RE GOING TO GET A FINE NO MATTER WHAT? The EPA will be notified and will come over to fine you for that pile of saw dust!
Where were your gloves when you were hand filing? and earplugs too?
What type of sanding stone did you use ?
this is ok at a pinch, but you should weigh them, and remove material if they are different, same as any other blades you sharpen, have to be balanced
Have you ever taught about using this engine for a home made stump grinder?
That little chipper engine. Can't say that I have.
CTSCAPER yes the smallest vermeer stump grinder runs on similar engine . I go à 3206 bearcat with à briggs . I.m planning to do so as I have a log dolly that sits. All y need are long belts pulley and the grinding wheel.
Great for quick sharpening, but... in the end, you use the diamond file and you don't follow the proper angle of the blade and are actually dulling the blade again. Another You Tube video out there shows the proper way... use a wet file and takes a lot longer, but razor sharp and you never loose the angle. Clean properly with air compressor- better maintenance saves a lot of headache down the road!
Do you really want a "razor sharp" blade on a chipper ? Breaks easier, gets dull faster. Do you want a filet sharpness on a cleaver ? No
John, nice video, .... How's the cabin fever doing, how much snow?
We've got about 8" of slush/snow on the ground. I got out yesterday because I had to get out of the house. Luckily we're in the high 50's today and tomorrow. I shoveled a path to the chainsaw mill table and log splitting area because I REALLY need to get out.
What video editing software did you use. I really liked that "do not try this at home" that was locked on you.
I edit in Premiere Pro but that title was made in a program called After Effects. I enjoy editing video as much as landscaping and using chainsaws. :-)
You are only sharping half of your blades you also need to sharpen the anvil or also called the chopping block on the bottom
Why does he need to sharpen bottom of blade as well ?
Thats a whole lot a chippin
There is NO WAY you can use an angle die grinder accurately to sharpen those blades unless you have very steady hands and good eye sight. I tried this on a piece of scrap material and the results were horrible. No thanks.
I'm glad AQMD didn't get you for sending that dust outside.
I don't understand why you put that final edge on it. You're just making it *more* dull.
He put a micro-bevel on it. Common sharpening method for hand planes and chisels. Total waste of time on a machine like this.
Try hot gluing the end of the blade to the end of a paint stirrer.
Then just trim it off once you get the bolts tight.
I gotta stop watching your vids, my to do list is getting too long.
Troybilt is coming apart tomorrow!
I'm going to save that hot glue idea. Thanks.
You forgot your ear plugs.
PEOPLE should wear ear plugs and head sets/ ear defenders , you can never be to careful where your health is concerned , sounds can enter throu your bones ( mastoid bone ? )
I want that gas can
