    Piece of equipment you should have bought years ago??

    Sean, thanks for sharing that Morbark video. Alot has changed since I bought my Morbark disc chipper new in the spring of 2001. Only work I done on it in the last 18 years is regular maintenance and knife changes. Bulletproof machine.

    Of course you don't get the knicks out with the carbide, Lol. But using the carbide getting the edge back sharp with minor knicks still in the edge will get you back chipping again. Great way to extend time between knife changes.

    You put more hand pressure on the carbide towards the single bevel side of the chipper knife to avoid putting a double bevel edge in the knife. No worries about deforming the knife edge as when time comes to get them professionally sharpened to proper angle the that whole edge is removed anyways...

    The green one on top has a carbide on one end that sharpens only one side of a knife. The other sharpens both sides.

But just in the last couple of years decided to try a carbide hand held sharpener on my knives. Man I should have used it years ago!!! Couple...

    Just tried again super super slow. Not frozen though! Maybe my problem is I got paid piecework rate all my life while earning a living with a saw. Every second and saved step counts
