Angle Grinder HACK - Make A Wood Chipper | DIY

[@NavyCuda]

You are the first person I've seen on youtube who actually uses his cutting tools without a significant drop in rpm while working them. I always wonder why people overload their grinders and drills so they significantly drop in rpm. The cut is so much cleaner when you let it go through under mostly its own weight. Much praise!

Suggestion for MK2. Add a tapered washer between each blade. Offset the blades So that the blades each touch at opposing 180 degree points on the circumference. This way the material will get fully shredded without having to present at an angle, and wont have to be kept moving about on feed.

[@kantilal.suthar.543]

Very nice work

I would suggest he adds a sieve on the machine in order to calibrate the woodchips. This is useful for someone willing to make wood pellets business. It seems cost effective for high output.

[@Accumulator1]

That is a neat build. But it's a very slow feed to ground it up to practically saw dust, if that is what you want. I would like to build one similar, but a different type of cutter that makes coarse chips. Maybe a small sprocket that is threaded to arbor onto the grinder shaft, a #35 size chain to a large sprocket on the cutter shaft. This would slow the rpm but increase the torque to cut large chips and feed the wood faster.

[@aunabreslingaming3279]

Protip: remember when milling metal back off every few cuts so your blade can empty the shavings and it doesn't do anything weird (like smoke, weld itself warp the metal, etc)

[@eduardojrmartinez1870]

Yep, i observe the same too,.if you put on cutwheels for long time it will just weld it self,.you must let it cool down for atleast a sveral seconds

[@ioncosieru2431]

[@robertmoats1890]

Nice work. This type of gadget would be very useful for composting - You can feed it food scraps, leaves, etc. I can see it was tricky to keep the wood pushing against the blades, but you could resolve that by adding some type of feeder (mouth) that uses rubber or plastic to push the wood against the blades (instead of having to manually redirect it). I would also try to incorporate bolts into the blade housing so you can more easily change the blades when they get dull. You don't want to have to partly destroy and rebuild it to maintain it. Great start, though!

[@celiand2618]

Actually that looks like a VERY fine device. It might lack a bit of security, but by wielding a 45° protection on the front, that would cover the saw blades from the top of the tank to the bottom of the axis (basically, all the parts you're NOT using when chipping), that device would already be safer (at least more than some industrial ones). Best security being a mobile protection that would stop power the very moment some force is pushing it. NICE JOB

Not wood chipper, but wood-power maker. Good idea but needs a lesser speed geared motor for thick dry wood. Otherwise blades might shatter.

[@peternewman958]

Rabinder Rawat exactly its not a wood chipper at all!!! Its a grinder driving a multitude of saw blades.!!! Only a knife edge makes wood chips, a saw blade has teeth and makes makes saw dust!!!! I know as i did a lot of R & D on wood chippers here in Australia!!!

[@ahmadabadi7372]

Yes, it is not wood chips but it is excellent for compost.

[@MrBooojangles]

It might be better if you add a hollow section in front of the blades to act as a chute to push the wood down. This would stop any accident of your hand touching the blade, but I think you could put some quite big pieces of wood in there and it would still work well at grinding them away.

[@MrBooojangles]

@Will Swift yeah good point.

[@G40bv]

Experimental? Yes... but hey every machine or idea did start wit an idea or a prototype and then polish the design. Just an idea, in the axle you cut a groove to grab it with a wrench instead the pliers but it's just an idea. After all it's a great idea.👍

[@DiamleonDiyBuilds]

Thank you

[@swalowit]

NICE !! Please make another video with entire tool turned on its side so switch of angle grinder is on top with a chute added for gravity feed.(like you said) But most importantly add a table elevating the material up from where it sits now or incorporate it into the shute. I'd say probably 1/4 of the way up would still pull material in & down with out possibility of a jam. Now the most difficult part will be how you decrease the cutting area. I suppose you could just have this part of the chute be out of a decent gauge steel and just slot the end so the cutting tips of the blades are actually passing through it so there's a surface for the material to be cut/chipped against. I think ideally though I'd attempt to run it fully through with just a slot cut for each individual blade. I think the width of the slots, the amount of space on either side of the blades will be important to its success and whether it works or not. I hope to hear more on how you made out and from others experiences or just opinions because I'm planning to make something like this myself soon but probably more for shredding/chipping plastic bottles, well basically all trash that's not food or glass. So I guess basically recyclables minus the glass. But I'm also interested in making something similar but larger for leaves, sticks anything in the yard to accelerate its decaying process into some super compost/growing dirt.

[@Lesfac]

It seems to me that the cutters might grab the work and pull it in. I think the work entry level should be raised to just below the centre height of the cutters. That way the cutters shouldn't grab a tough piece of wood and pull it underneath themselves. With a raised work table only the chips will go under the cutters an be thrown out the back
