Home sharpening timber wolf blades

[dan494]

Have some TW 150 chipper blades that need resharpening. Do they have to be hollow ground? Spoke to a company that sharpen them and they say its just a Timber Wolf thing and they can be just sharpened on a flat bevel. What do you chaps think?

I had a timberwolf 18/100 gravity fed machine that was supposed to be hollow ground and a local sharpening place did them flat, didn't notice a difference

If you read through this thread you'll get lots of info on the hollow ground/flat ground question.

Anybody ever tried green mech cs100 blade? How much can you take off before the tempering is lost? Presuming the temper isnt perfect as you get deeper in to the material
