tw150 bunging up

[THE88MAN]

Excuse my naivety if their is an obvious answer to this! I have 3 sets of blades for my 150,one new,one nearly new and one pair quite a bit shorter through sharpening (but still well within witness line).not sure if its coincidence but the chipper blocked up 3 times on Friday,on 3 different types of wood (conifer,euc and robinia).does this happen on more worn blades or may I have another problem? thanks guys

Have you checked the fan blades? Make sure they are all there. I have only had mine block once, it was a large elm full of leaf on a really wet day and it blocked, the fiberous branch matter was horrid.

I checked them on last blade change (Tuesday) will have another look in the morning.thanks

Blunt blades will create more blockages. Check your anvil/bedknife (the non-moving edge that the blades cut against). This needs to be sharp too!

[Timberwolf Official]

Variation in blade length will not affect blockages in the machine, Blockages usually occur if the material being chipped is very wet or blades/anvils are not sharp and tearing instead of chipping.

Hope this helps

Not that obvious - they are a bitch to check (and even harder to swap!).
