Brush Master Replacement Blade

C00506 Replacement Blade with Hardware

Replacement blade with hardware for Brush Master, DEK and STANLEY large format chipper shredders.

During operation, if you notice any of the following symptoms, your chipper blade probably needs to be sharpened or replaced:

1. Chipper does not auto-feed
2. Chipper produces “chunks” or “sawdust” instead of “chips”
3. Chipper engine bogs down or labors
4. Smoke issues from the drive belt
5. Chipper jams or stops altogether

For optimal chipping, you will need to sharpen and/or replace your chipper’s blade frequently. Similar to the teeth of a chainsaw, your chipper blade requires frequent sharpening. We recommend that you check the blade for sharpness before each use and after every 2-3 hours of operation.

As a rough guide, your chipper blade will require sharpening or replacing after 4-8 hours of normal use when chipping harder woods such as maple or oak. When chipping softer woods such as poplar and pine, the blade can last 10-20 hours before sharpening/replacement is required. If you hit a foreign object such as a stone or nail or if you are processing limbs that have small amounts of sand or soil on them, you will need to sharpen/replace the blade much more frequently.
