Oh aye. Chipper blades are a product you primarily want to be cheap. They go round at god knows what rpm, are subject to extreme violence from bits of tree jammed into them and rely on good, consistent, can’t-fail heat treating to not shatter and spray shrapnel fvckknows where. I’ll have the expensive ones please. 

Just offering the guy some advice on where to get his blades!!.

I run a gravity fed chipper and a greenmech roller fed chipper and a stump grinder on blade’s -teeth from qrms,never had a problem with there stuff.

Nor me but I was buying tungsten carbide tipped mulcher teeth rather than chipper blades.

 

It strikes me chipper blades need to be a fine balance of tempering between being hard enough to maintain a sharp edge without being brittle enough to shatter.

I take the point about the high demands placed on chipper blades but I’m thinking that on a chipper of this ilk, they probably weren’t the best of the best to start with
