Vermeer offers high quality knives for your brush chipper that are manufactured using high-grade steel and a dual-tempered heat-treatment process. This technique makes the steel hard enough to hold an edge and strong enough to withstand tough jobsite material. Each knife is hardened and machined to factory specifications for extended wear life.
The knives or blades are the hardest working component of a brush chipper. A sharp knife allows for a clean cut and produces a smaller chip that can be thrown further. It also reduces stress on machine components such as the engine and drive belts.
Vermeer chipper knives feature 2 usable cutting edges allowing the knife to be flipped and reused doubling the service life of each blade.
