How I Sharpen Chipper Blades 🪒

Here's how I sharpen the blades on my Forest Master FM6 Chipper. I've used the same process for much larger chippers too, it just takes longer.

I replaced my blade attach bolts with button head allen bolts after stripping one. Thanks for the sharpening idea.

I’ve since moved to a metal knife sharpening jig - absolute game changer, much better than a diy wooden one and only about £12 👍

Hi, are you using any screw lock?

[@NotYourAverageTreeMan]

No, however it is recommended - I’m also not checking torque, but ‘strong arm’ newtons has done me good thus far 😉

Got a green mech eco150 chipper for sale if interested

Thanks for the shout man, I reckon this’ll keep me going for a bit - but how do you rate the smaller green mechs?
I’d love to upgrade to the little tracked one down the line! (165?)

It’s not a bad machine it my first chipper , with the right material through it it’ll chip same as a tw150 , doesn’t like awkward branches and wouldn’t put a 6 inch piece of timber through it tho but the engine is bulletproof an easy to navigate
