cs100 not pulling brash!

I thought it was 10 as well

Dare I ask why a company can keep getting this wrong if they have done it so many times before?

You would think they would update their data specs. Should Greenmech be sending out this information to all the companies so that it doesn't happen?

And there goes more life off your blades unfortunately. If they grind the back angle now to 10degrees, the front angle will also have to be ground again, to give the correct 4mm. That's exactly why my cs100 wouldn't chip. Such a difference now it's done right.

As 'Heath Robinson' as it may sound, I actually found the angle finder app on my iPhone very accurate. It's the one on the same app as the compass. Lay the blades flat on a level table, and you can check your angles yourself when the blades come back.

Is it me or am I just not doing something right? Recently had my knifes re sharpened by Saturn Machine Knifes. Have put them on and adjusted the anvil so there is a credit card sized gap. Still doesn't pull the brash through as it should. I widened it slightly and felt slightly better but wont touch the larger branches, just rubs. Also when it pulls in the small material it doesn't seem as fast as what it used to be. Have sent an email to SMK asking them to tell me what angles they were ground to so hopefully hear back from them soon. Any ideas from you guys? Chipping is not fun like this

I am on my third little chipper, with a total of over 300hours across the machines. Got a Jo Beau m400 now which is really good btw.

 

I find that they always run better if the anvil, knife gap is tiny. I use a piece of laminated paper or a business card. A debit card sized gap seems huge to me and I doubt it would chip better with more gap.

 

Although I know nothing of the CS100, so that could be wrong.
