Skill has nothing to do with how good a machinist is. It's all in the inborn ability to come up with on the fly results + the most important part, experience. The more you have, the better you are. You'll see old machinists whip you a part in seconds yet the smartest young blood will struggle with it despite all the 'skill' in the world.

[@isekaiexpress9450]

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.

[@ddjohnson9717]

really good advices. I'd say to put the screw that opens the flywheel compartment behind the belt, so you have to remove the belt to get in the flywheel - make it real fool proof.

[@PBMS123]

It would be a lot of work to make the screws the safety switch, rather, just use a microswitch that gets pressed down if the cover is on. Thats how most of those safety switches work, just microswitches.

[@FL.Cracker]

I would also add that an anti kickback device would be nice, I think a spring loaded butterfly plate would be ideal

[@purask]

If the guy built it for himself, then he is smart enough to operate it, all thosuse fancy safety switches fails when u least expect it, every normal man unpluggs device before changeing blades belts or removeing stuck piece of wood cause u may never know,

[@Kenionatus]

The easiest way to stop screws from becoming loos is Locktite. No design trade-offs and you can add it later in case you forgot. Also, they told me in vocational school that spring washers tend to not work so well. They help against tension loss due to surface flattening, but not against vibration.

Lovely piece of work. I was looking for this for sometime. Impressive and descriptive. Thanks.

[@7891ph]

Several glaring design issues here: 1) why are you counting on the bolts to hold the knives in place all by themselves? If you can machine the slots in the disk, you can also mill pockets for the knives, thereby only using the bolts to hold the knives in the pockets, with the pockets taking the dynamic loads. 2) You've created a potential clog point in the disk by not relieving it in line with the bevel of the cutting blades. Instead, you're chopping up the material which then hits a wall of the slots. 3) Your outlet shute is another wall. You have the capability to form radii in metal, why didn't you form one with a smooth arc to it??? In summary, a first attempt with many things to avoid.

[@MrPnew1]

Yeah right. Can you post a link to anything that you have designed ? Yeah, I didn't think so

[@7891ph]

@@MrPnew1 Can you? I was speaking from the standpoint of a machinist who has manufactured many things, including disk's like this for a world famous manufacturer of much larger machine's than this one. If my 30+ years of experience don't count for anything in your opinion, then this conversation is already over. Take your arrogant ingnorance and go away.

[@royreynolds108]

I suggest replacing the welded in curved sheet on the lower portion with a curved sheet that is held in place by about 4 or 5 bolts to keep it in place but be removable to be able to clear jams that will probably happen. One bolt through "eyes" on each end for retention and at least 2 more placed where the sheet will contact the bolts so the sheet will give a uniform spacing from the knives. When a jam occurs, take the bolts out and the sheet out for access to the knives for cleaning. Replace all when cleared. Looks good.

I'd change just one thing. I'd change it metric + 2.5 units higher on the shaft OD. I've been researching this stuff for a while, curious to make my own, and i've figured that the thicker the shaft is, the better life expectancy the bearings and the shaft itself will have. It also soaks up impacts better. I'm sure we've all (those of us with regular wood chippers)) seen what happens when a thicker piece of wood jumps about and pounces the whole machine up a bit.
