What's on your bench today?

Must have hit something hard on the wee Lumag chipper. One of the blades cracked. 

 

 

Overtightened nuts?  I've had it happen once on the Jo Beau; no sign of damage to the blade edge so put it down to overtightening.  I stop just a bit short now on the tightening

Did wonder about that. 😢

JoBeau specify a torque, stick to that. The guy I bought mine from didn't have a torque wrench at first and bolts came loose while running - smashed blades.

 

I did have a cracked JoBeau blade few years ago, contacted Global who contacted JoBeau. Once they had the serial number they sent a new pair straight out as apparently there was a batch which had some problems.

Hmm - I probably bought the cracked one in ~2016.  I wonder...

Possibly a bit before mine, and they might not take back under warranty now.

 

Other thing I worry about is keeping the mounting face clean, so far not had another crack but always fingers crossed.

A ne 346xp bought as a non runner. Will fire up but won’t run. After previously rebuilding a oe version and turning a snarly unreliable saw into a dependable machine, I’ve taken on a new challenge. Special thanks to spud for some excellent advice on the first one.

Silver side or early orange side?

It has an orange side but the cylinder is the bigger one.
