Sharpening Info - Wood Chipper Blades

If your specific model has ANY constraints on how to sharpen your blades, please let us know in advance. There are hundreds of models of wood chippers and we depend upon the customer to have the knowledge to provide us with any constraints BEFORE we are given the blades to sharpen.

We are aware that many flat blades have constraints such as a “Minimum Blade Height” (the name may vary, but the measurement is from the back of the blade for single edged blades to the edge and from the center line of the blade to the edge for double edged blades) that we need to take into account. We will ask if your machine has such constraints before we accept the blade for sharpening so we will not waste your money sharpening a blade that will be below the Minimum Blade Height.

Specifically for Wood Chipper Blades, we will require a cleaning of the blades before we can sharpen them so that all the dried on sap and dirt can be removed before sharpening. This provides 2 benefits. First, with all that accumulation on the blades from Wood Chippers, it will be almost impossible to get the correct angle to sharpen a blade because this dried on stuff is anything but level. The second benefit it that a clean blade will not clog or even worse ruin our sharpening wheels and cups. This can seriously impact our ability to sharpen flat blades and results in higher costs for us which we must pass along to our customers in the form of higher sharpening fees.

CAVEAT!!! Many Wood Chipper Manufacturers include statements in their instruction manuals to NOT sharpen blades with an angle grinder!! You cannot maintain the very tight tolerances required by your machine using an angle grander and can cause a blade to have to be recycled prematurely due to improper sharpening!!!
