καλησπέρα, ακόμα ένα μεγάλο μπράβο για τα μηχανήματα που κατασκευαζετε από την γέννεση τους κυριολεκτικά, είμαι τεχνητής χρυσοχόος και πραγματικά εκτιμώ το χάρισμα του τεχνίτη που μπορεί όχι μόνο να επισκευάσει κάτι, άλλα να δημιουργήσει κάτι .ΜΕΓΑΛΙΟ .Το χέρι του τεχνίτη είναι σοφό,

I hope everyone can appreciate the amount of skill this guy has. This is impressive.

My friend made something similar but with extra feature. On the entrance, on the front of knife there is added shaft with move the wood into the knifes. It's more safe, don't need to push wood into machine.

Grazie...dalla Sardegna...

Putting your hand and arm in the inlet chute makes me nervous!

Great build though

Πολύ Ωραία Κατασκευή Μάστορα Ο Τεμαχιστής !!
Χαιρετισμούς Απο Θεσσαλονίκη !!
Επόμενη Κατασκευή Καμιά Ξυλόσομπα Extreme !!

I think it needs some kind of infeed thing.

Every machine work effortlessly to cut, drill and mill all the metals thats the fun part to watch...so peaceful forgetting the days i tried so hard to do all these with ordinary tools.

[danjeffrey]

Wow! The thing works great. And it only took you 15 minues and 58 seconds to build it! ;-) Thanks for the best metal working videos on the web!

This is a plate type chipper. Then there are roller type chippers. Which is better and which can be used with minimal motor power ?
The problem I see with this design is that the cutter does not feed in the material on its own. It has to be pushed in. Maybe the chute needs to be at more angle to the cutter. Also I would have made the outlet chute with a curved turn rather than a cut angle so the air flow be more streamlined.
Sticking your arm into the chute? Where is the big red emergency shut off button?

Positive feedback: great idea having the drive connected with a slip transmission, as the flywheel can get stuck on thicker branches and teh drive can overheat and burn out before its turned off. Also, very good access to the flywheel to unstuck parts of the tree. I will write about the flipside later.
Now comes the bad feedback.

Oh God, the Hopper of Death. It is shorter than your hand to the armpit.

Your hand gets stuck in a tree, tree pulls your hand in, you have no hand.
As you could see, this kind of chipper sometimes violently spews unchewed parts of the tree outside. This can go bad in the eye. Simple curtain made from wide soft transparent PVC stripes deals with flying parts quite nicely.

The screw that opens the flywheel compartment would be ideal for a security switch that prevents the machine to accidentally going live when the compartment is open. Missed opportunity. Much chances for gory demise as the CEKON plug is difficult to put out of the socket and sure will be left in. And no big red emergency switch near the working zone. You must be able to turn off the machine immediately, should something else than wood land in the chipper.
Oh, and the loose wires without proper entry outside the box just look awful.
That is for the security details. Some might say personal security is for wimps and my comment will go unnoticed, but at least i have freed my conscience as electrical appliance tester. Now it's up to you and don't you say nobody warned you.
As for the blade mounts, i would put a flush plate and spring rings underneath them, as they will come loose quite fast, but that's just my experience with my mighty Lesha ZAK 3002 chipper that consumes trees since 1995 without mechanical breakdowns.

Big, heavy, powerful - I like it! :D

Я прям залип, красавчик, руки от куда надо выросли.

[glennpolly]

great fab skills, that green is my fav color - you forgot the squeeze connector for the ac line input - hopefully you got one by now - loved the chair tank!

[kosovorot]

I would be SOOO scared to place my hands anywhere near inside this hopper.

[panworld]

One of the best wood chippers out there.

[marcelkoberle]

Always great to see how you guys build things. I learned a lot. Keep going!
