    Bevel buddy

    Okay, so three questions. One is, do you notice any degradation of pulling power from new knife sharp to 2nd or 3rd time sharp with Bevel Buddy? And two is, how much bevel is on the flat side of knives by your 3rd BB sharpening? Then, when you send knives out to be sharpened on a machine...

    Randy hasn't posted in awhile so I'll ask @VenasNursery what would you say the thinking is of not sharpening the cutting edge and only putting the grind on the flat side of the knife - thus adding backbevel?

    So this is me trying to photographicly catch the backbevel that my Accusharp knife sharpening version has always put on knives. This is after about 100 hrs use and dressing the knife had it chip some better each time but progressively degraded the ability of knife to pull in material.

    While the "Garden Version" just rode along the flat edge of the knife without cutting a backbevel. This is what I've always wanted. Now for the test...this is a new knife edge with only 10 or 15 hours chipping on it. So when it does decline in chipping I'll dress it with this Garden version...

    Here is an example of the Garden version just cleaning up the cutting side of my 90XP disk chipper knife.

    The Accusharp "Garden Sharp" tool has carbide on only one side for hoes and etc that have one bevel. The other side is steel that just slides along flat side of chipper knife not cutting a back bevel.

    So... the Bevel Buddy seems like an interesting consideration but, I just stumbled onto one other answer I've been looking for for years and have one other question yet to be answered. What I just discovered is that there is a way to dress the chipper knives and only dress the cutting edge side

    Throw bag hitting shingle roof...How bad?

    If you have indeed decided to stop I totally support that. I'm convinced our "gut" feelings have more accuracy about what is wise for us than our "thinking" or second guessing ourselves. That being said, if you talk yourself into doing more I have a thought as to what I would do to work that...

    Any experience with Morbark's new BVR chippers?

    Shoot...what's the name of this thread? (Since Bevel Buddy is a Morbark product I'm going to go on a bit.) At the 1:55 minute mark they say to only grind on the flat (discharge) side of the knife. Putting a " backbevel" on it. That backbevel is the very thing I thought was taking "self...

    Any experience with Morbark's new BVR chippers?

    Okay, great info, good perspective. I cut out dirt and avoid rocks like the plague. I get closer to 100 hrs on a set before feeling the need to flip them. Southsound I don't think so. I don't get that much material off using a carbide dressing tool. I have always wanted a carbide hand...

    Any experience with Morbark's new BVR chippers?

    @Brando CalPankian BCMA Not wanting to side track the thread but what knife saver and how do you like the results it gives you? I've hand dressed my knives a lot to extend change intervals but have always ended up with a drawback of a backbevel on the flat side of the knives and reduced...

    Switch N Go bodies

    I saw a Palfinginger (sp) hooklift on a Ram 5500 a few months ago. A much lighter unit than my Stellar hooklift. I considered Switch n Go when I purchased. They didn't look like they were strong enough for serious tree work to me. I could be wrong. When I say the Palf. was lighter, I would...

    Tractor, skid steer, or excavator?

    Is the swing boom the extra point of articulation at the base of the boom? I've heard of that as being very effective when used to feed a chipper.

    Tractor, skid steer, or excavator?

    Bold. Hope you get returns you would deserve. So many inventors/innovators don't in the arb industry.

    Business owners - federal requirement to file BOI

    I don't know or do my paperwork kind of stuff. But, I was told this applied to LLC's and maybe others but not sole proprietorship. Does that sound right?

    Another aerial friction rigging device?

    Thanks. I think I remember lock up with light peices as an issue for me. I will try it out more - pre tension on occasion could be very helpful.
