    Chipper drum failure

    ...then turned down on a lathe for reasonable smoothness and checked at increasing RPMs for balance until it can run smoothly at full functional RPM. (That's me anyway.)

    The Akimbo 2

    Good info. I do a lot to avoid sap as a result of using the A1 for years. And I am fortunate to have almost all of my work light on sap. The one time I did get into some when newly trying the A2 I went past it with relative ease. That would have been on Tachyon or Safety Blue.

    Chipper drum failure

    Sounds affordable...balance could be an issue that will need to be addressed.

    The Akimbo 2

    Always surprised to hear of people having problems with usage since my A1's and my A2 all ran well right off the bat, switch between rope types and different sizes, and I'm not great at reading directions for adjustment of settings. But isn't there a specific order to adjust the settings as...

    Bandit Chipper possible options - and why.

    Cops, like most of us, like success. Showing them you can locate and track a stolen item will be far more interesting to them than, "Hey my equipment was stolen, will you locate it and retrieve it." Unfortunately some sales job may well still be required.

    Bandit Chipper possible options - and why.

    There is some company selling AirTag size and appearance devices that do not notify the perpetrators phone he is being tracked.

    Bandit Chipper possible options - and why.

    Even if a person wanted a folding indeed tray, as I did on a mostly hand fed 9 inch chipper - double wide.

    Bandit Chipper possible options - and why.

    I'll post into this thread later but just heard of one more option I didn't even know was a possibility - Cory shared 3rd feed wheel motor. If you have a chipper built this info can make your chipper so much more useful.

    2020 Bandit 15xp chipper.

    There are all kinds of things you can have added to a Bandit in build. Most are not listed as options that I ever saw. Research, ask around, and ask more. Some things pay for themselves in time savings within a modest number of jobs where that option came to use.

    Battery explosions

    Friend near me had a construction tool battery burn in and total a truck. Not sure of brand, aftermarket or stock, or abuse it was put through - so it can happen (perhaps). Story facts are a little to fluid from him for me to try asking about it a third time or more.

    Battery explosions

    Great thread. I have been thinking of ammo boxes drilled to release overpressure (or cut off wheel slit to keep pressure release under lid protection) and insulation to keep heat spread down.

    Bevel buddy

    Yes, I only remove knives to swap out with fresh edge that is new or has been ground sharp by a oil grind sharpening machine. What I've seen in the past and that picture in post #16 would show if pictured well is that a normal carbide "knife" dressing tool will scrape steel off the cutting...
