Timberwolf owners heads up

[Shane]

Just browsing ebay and found a company (must remain nameless under house rules) selling timberwolf blades (for 6" chippers) for 39.99.

 

They are 5mm thick! Thats half the thickness of the proper ones.

The countersink holes in the piccies are almost all the way through!

It would also mean the cutting is taking place 5mm further away from the anvil.

 

I've contacted Timberwolf and they are investigating.

Their tecchie says the blades would just shatter.

 

In the mean please time Don't bid!

 

Happy arbing

Although name and shame is naughty which ones on there are said blades, a shatter sounds nasty, I know someone on here posted photos of what happend when there chipper threw its guts up through the spout looked bad

Best thing is to search ebay for chipper blades -price range £38 - £40

You'll see

That sounds dangerous,might be worth checking to see if it would be ok to give more info with the powers that be.

( I only buy genuine anyway,from orange,great service).

Thanks,you could prevent a nasty from happening with this post.

I can't say too much - Ifyou buy your tools in Monmouthshire (or anywhere else) just make sure you but the genuine (not cra@@y Chinese) parts.

To be fair their blades at 39.99 are not advertized as 150/30 blades, and it does say they are 5mm thick - its not much more to buy from saturn machine knives and their blades are excellent

Husky king - that's a fair point - they don't say they are specifically for Timberwolf but the pattern looks the same. They are advertised as 5mm thick. Just thought its better safe than sorry.

I agree, and thanks for the heads up, the countersink bolt holes do npt match a TW either

a perfect example of why we have the no naming and shaming rule

We get ours from a local engineering company. Cheaper and they sharpen them for us.
