Because our knives are made of high-carbon/high-chromium forged alloy tool steel, they can go significantly longer than the knives on most “bargain” chippers without sharpening. Still, as with any cutting tool, keeping a sharp edge is important for maintaining peak performance. When the chipper starts to “bog” down, and/or vibrates and requires that you regularly force the material downward into the chipper chute, it’s usually a sign that the knife is dulling. Many customers choose to get an extra knife to have on hand. That way, you can keep working with a minimum of downtime.
Knife Kit #24410 is for the 11.00 and 11.50 FPT Premier DR Rapid-Feed Chippers.
The replacement DR Rapid-Feed Chipper Knife Kit comes with all the necessary hardware.
