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

Very Impressive but needs to keep his Hands & Arms in a safe enviroment.

[@BV-nq7wd]

I knew a guy like him. All I can say is they're at a different level then the average person's

[@aserta]

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.

[@indiaengineering2138]

Can u tell me how much time does it took for doing this?

[@boots7859]

@@aserta That made absolutely no sense. Skill is partly innate, and partly experience. Smart and skill are not equal, not sure where you even came up with that.

Just make the inlet chute longer then man's arm (1.2 m will be enough) to prevent any bad cases. But off course You are right that this is a bad idea to put hands and arms there.

[@undertow2142]

I was thinking the same. Those long sleeves get snagged on a branch could pull his shirt in and then his arm!

[@GregVasquez777]

yeah holding on to a stick that can be pulled in is danGerouS. or a long branch that knocks you towards the chipper. Even if it don't cut you getting yanked into metal aint kewl.

[@longhorneye]

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.

Yep it's called a feed roller, it prevent user having to put their hand inside the hopper.

[@jasiu111]

I think it needs some kind of infeed thing.

[@labiadhchokri2124]

Nice build make the inlet cone deep enough so you can't reach the blades by your hands

[@PopaAlexandru.]

Seriously? What happens when you fall? Instinctively lean in your hands.

[@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.

[@danjeffrey1531]

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!

[@zorkan111]

A lot of people in the comments are rightly concerned by the safety of this thing. Usually it's a good idea to make the hopper deeper than a human can reach. Also, chippers usually have a pair of feeder rotors whose purpose is to pull in the branches so you don't have to actively push it in to cut.

If only stuff was built this well for the consumer market.

[@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

[@andersonnettleship845]

Nice build, one additional item that needs to be added to the feed hopper is a blowback shield, this is nothing more than a heavy flexible plastic or rubber sheet that is solid at the top where it is bolted onto the feed hopper but has been split every 3” or so It helps to prevent pieces of wood/bark/and other debris from being thrown back at the operator. My DR Wood Chipper has this and it really does work. Mine i Needs to be replaced and I’m going to make a replacement out of some used conveyor belt that I have, it is around 3/16” of an inch thick and should do the job nicely.

[@panworld7523]

One of the best wood chippers out there.

[@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 think you need to slightly chamfer the square edge of the flywheel on the blade side. The 90° ledge just behind the blade will collect debris, and require frequent cleaning.
