Anbody have any experience using one in terms of arboriculture chipping? Mainly sold as an aid to the whole tree chipping Nd sawmill markets...been thinking about giving it a whirl. My reservations mainly focus on the fact that normally when our blades are dull they are also knicked up...the way the bb works wont clear any of those knicks up. Marquise you listening?

I'm curious as to how many "counter grind" passes you can make until the knives have to come out and be done properly. I don't think I'd do it more than once, and only in a real pinch.
Don't get me wrong...I think in some cases, production can stay up with a tool like that, but over the long term, the knives will actually lose more material each time they are removed to be sharpened. In order to get the leading edge down to the base of the knife (flat side that meets the bed), more material will have to be ground away because of the counter grinding process.

Their website says 2 maybe 3 if you really need to. I contacted them about just the head as I have two Corliss Dremel tools. No, was all he said. And offered me the 12 volt version for full cost. I don't really see it as a have to have lol unless you do a lot of work deep in the woods and you don't have tools or knives close by. If it was $200, it would be a thought.
Most of the footage was 1/4 million dollar chippers which, in my experience, have either air compressors and tools on board, or a service truck nearby that is driven by the operator. Hardly "in a pinch" with that kind of support, though a former co-worker did that trick with an angle grinder from time to time when conditions were muddy and he ran out of knives.
Interesting. I know profesional re-grinding includes "dulling" them up a bit. First ive heard of 2 degrees though. I trust a.s. as far as i can throw it though...have read a lot of messed up info on there over the years. Hardly ever go there, prefer to make an a$$ out of myself here.
