Every machine work effortlessly to cut, drill and mill all the metals thats the fun part to watch...so peaceful forgetting the days i tried so hard to do all these with ordinary tools.
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.
LegendLength Yeah on ours they were massive toothed rollers that grabbed the material and fed it into the blade. If you pushed the control bar, they would reverse.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.

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.
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.
This is a plate type chipper. Then there are roller type chippers. Which is better and which can be used with minimal motor power ? The problem I see with this design is that the cutter does not feed in the material on its own. It has to be pushed in. Maybe the chute needs to be at more angle to the cutter. Also I would have made the outlet chute with a curved turn rather than a cut angle so the air flow be more streamlined. Sticking your arm into the chute? Where is the big red emergency shut off button?
great fab skills, that green is my fav color - you forgot the squeeze connector for the ac line input - hopefully you got one by now - loved the chair tank!
Look at the commercial ones. Get some heavy rubber flaps to deal with those “kick backs”. Also filling your tubing with the Great Stuff spray foam really helps prevent internal corrosion, foam trim then install caps
Possibly I spose it could, I actually remember seeing commercials for Volvo also spraying foam in their frames. I’ve done it for decades and never had any trouble.
Awesome work as always guys. I liked that you used an electric motor, much cleaner and quieter than a gasoline engine. And it seems to eat wood for breakfast
бля... да когда станочный парк под боком , хуль бы и не делать, а вот работай ты токарем на заводе и попробуй такой агрегат заточить себе, задолбаешься тягать детали через проходную ...
I have done some woodworks in the past but this woodwork plan ruclips.net/user/postUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG helps me do much in a far lesser time than i used to do i have already built several projects with this plan and i intend to do many more soon. Thank you so much!
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.
There is usually a type of rubber curtain on the intake side to prevent kickback from whatever you're putting in there. And yes you don't want to get hands in there. You will loose it. I have 2 chippers, one for up to 140mm dia and the other up to 180mm dia! Running on V-twin 35hp petrol engines. They are brutal and will most probibly rip your arm clean off!
Put a cut out switch /bar along the bottom of the hopper entrance, and keep your hands out! Branches snagging on sleeves have caused serious injuries and death. The craftsmanship is really impressive otherwise.
This guy is one hell of a good machinist. I wish I could make stuff like this. I’d have to spend a fortune a lots of tools and equipment. But it looks so fun!
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.
Just a wee suggestion. When you are fitting a plate to a shaft like that and the sizing only needs to be "tight" finish your hole first. It is much faster as a rule to turn a shaft to fit the new hole rather than the other way down. You really only have to measure the hole once with a telescopic gauge and mic and measuring a shaft is so fast.
Why do you prefer TIG welding in preference to MIG or stick?? [It looks like a driven roller to force the branches into the cutter would be a useful addition.]
I love these guys. Answering the age-old important questions like, "what would happen if we hook a couple of 12-inch plane irons bevel side down to a big-ass flywheel and crank her up to orbital escape velocities?"
I expect someone mentioned this but, you need something to push the branches with in stead of pushing with your hands. Use something that is too wide to get to the blades . At work I use a plastic snow shovel which gets stoped as the indeed cone gets too small for it to hit the blades. Your machine is smaller than mine so you would need something smaller just check when the machine is switched off. You could just shove the branches down with the stub end of another branch but keep those hands safe mate. Awesome build I am very impressed!!!
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 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.
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.
@@maxdmitrieff7358 Маловероятно, но все таки возможно... К примеру, когда лезвия подзатупятся, не очень толстую, влажную ветку может не резать, а закусить между корпусом и диском и резко рванет вовнутрь... Как известно техника безопасности написана кровью...
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.
Очень приятно смотреть на то, как работает человек, знающий и понимающий. Именно такую дробилку я и искал на просторах нета. А то всё какие-то погремушки и детские машинки, и консервные банки показывают, друг в друга воруют не очень интересные идеи. Только время отнимают. Вот такую дробилку я бы себе забабахал. Super.
From a former tool maker I'd just like to say, another awesome build! And from a former Arborist, who's owned several chippers and operated dozens, I'd like to say: Please use a push stick not your hand or foot to push inside the infeed chute... Also, machines of your calibre usually have an adjustable (replaceable) anvil for the cutting knives to operate more efficiently and not wear out that edge of the infeed chute. Also, the fly wheel, or cutter wheel, is usually offset (or on a slight angle to the infeed chute) for several reasons, one being that this will assist in pulling the items into the cutting knives. A cush drive will also help prevent vibration which will break welds and loosen bolts in time, will also help prevent knives shearing off if items get stuck.
very nice construction. i see a machine with a lot of design specs. where did you get the information needed to construct this , rotor size and weight, knife design, housing shape . motor size and speeds etc,etc. guessing at any one of these could leave you with a useless machine. yours seems to work very well. good job.
How about front steering axle with shaft and intake roller powered by the main engine? What type of motor is this? Can I use single-phase motor? Can it be equipped with 3 or 4 blades?
That is some machine! I have a 6.5 hp "residential grade" unit. The flywheel/cutters are driven directly off of the crankshaft, so there's no external belts. It's rated at 3" branches and 1 /2 inch twigs, etc. In use, it can handle 1 1/2 inch branches in the shredder and ~2 1/2 inch branches the chipper. The chopper chute is narrowed to prevent overloading the engine, but any branch with lumps or bends won't fit. All the same safety concerns exist. The upside? It only cost $449 and worked upon unpacking. Of course, mine will die and need to be replaced sooner.
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.
Excellent work...your way of machining is very precise and seems very skilled in welding....I would suggest to paint the motor also as it is only the one which seems old rest of the work is fabulous..♥️♥️
I’m fairly new to MIG and TIG welding. I noticed you tend to bounce between the two like on this project for instance. What makes you decide to go with one or the other?
Great build, suggest use a tamper piece of wood to push anything into chute ,rather then using your arm and hand, you don`t want to grind your limb. Those chipping blades will pull anything in and bye-bye limb.
You make this amazing chopper, but not a tool that could push in the wood but physically not get caught in the chopper itself? Anyhow 10/10 amazing skills.
interesting build, it is common for a chipper to have, for the lack of a better term, an anvil attached to the outer housing at the bottom of the inlet chute, or any that i have worked on, you then set the clearance between the knives and the anvil for the amount of bite you want. i have a 24" by 1" disk and most of the parts to build my own using a 6 cylinder gas engine.
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.
I knew a guy like him. All I can say is they're at a different level then the average person's

Made a bloody good job of that great stuff
That is a little bit to extreme for my taste.
Such a craftsman, beautiful, think I will just hire one.
Looks like the "Safety Trolls" are out in force. "DANGER: Do not operate this electric tool underwater to prevent serious injury!".
Great ideas 💡👍👌💯💯
Is excelente but all is too heavy
Very nicely built. True craftmenship
This would be great for getting rid off my neighbours 👍🏼😏
Very nicely done.
Looks dope but sooo dangerous :D
A wood feeder device is a must here.

Πολύ Ωραία Κατασκευή Μάστορα Ο Τεμαχιστής !!
Χαιρετισμούς Απο Θεσσαλονίκη !!
Επόμενη Κατασκευή Καμιά Ξυλόσομπα Extreme !!
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.
Очень приятно смотреть на то, как работает человек, знающий и понимающий. Именно такую дробилку я и искал на просторах нета. А то всё какие-то погремушки и детские машинки, и консервные банки показывают, друг в друга воруют не очень интересные идеи. Только время отнимают. Вот такую дробилку я бы себе забабахал. Super.
From a former tool maker I'd just like to say, another awesome build!
And from a former Arborist, who's owned several chippers and operated dozens, I'd like to say:
Please use a push stick not your hand or foot to push inside the infeed chute...
Also, machines of your calibre usually have an adjustable (replaceable) anvil for the cutting knives to operate more efficiently and not wear out that edge of the infeed chute.
Also, the fly wheel, or cutter wheel, is usually offset (or on a slight angle to the infeed chute) for several reasons, one being that this will assist in pulling the items into the cutting knives.
A cush drive will also help prevent vibration which will break welds and loosen bolts in time, will also help prevent knives shearing off if items get stuck.
This is not DIY, this is a high professional machinist work, only better from this would be machines assembling same thing, greetings from croatia
very nice construction. i see a machine with a lot of design specs. where did you get the information needed to construct this , rotor size and weight, knife design, housing shape . motor size and speeds etc,etc. guessing at any one of these could leave you with a useless machine. yours seems to work very well. good job.
How about front steering axle with shaft and intake roller powered by the main engine? What type of motor is this? Can I use single-phase motor? Can it be equipped with 3 or 4 blades?
Very nice job!
That is some machine! I have a 6.5 hp "residential grade" unit. The flywheel/cutters are driven directly off of the crankshaft, so there's no external belts. It's rated at 3" branches and 1 /2 inch twigs, etc. In use, it can handle 1 1/2 inch branches in the shredder and ~2 1/2 inch branches the chipper. The chopper chute is narrowed to prevent overloading the engine, but any branch with lumps or bends won't fit. All the same safety concerns exist. The upside? It only cost $449 and worked upon unpacking. Of course, mine will die and need to be replaced sooner.
What a fabulous product. Very impressive.
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.
Another AWSOME build !
Very nice, all my congratulations. But do you share the plans? Thank you
Great video, my friends. You inspired me to start my own channel
Excellent experience you are a teacher now
Excellent work...your way of machining is very precise and seems very skilled in welding....I would suggest to paint the motor also as it is only the one which seems old rest of the work is fabulous..♥️♥️
Excellent as ever
I’m fairly new to MIG and TIG welding. I noticed you tend to bounce between the two like on this project for instance. What makes you decide to go with one or the other?
the fact that his sponsor is the company that sells the tig.....
Nice build indeed. Did you make your own knives and also what is the motor rating, phase, rpm and kw?
Amazing talent
Can a machine like this handle 2x4 and 4x4 wood
Ok love the video. I have to ask, what was the cost to make this
Hola! Te felicito hermano que lindo es tener todas las herramientas y poder fabricar estas cosas, un anrazo desde Argentina!
Great job bro. Could i use a benzine motor of 6.5 hp instead of electric powered one?
question how did you keep.everything balanced
Great build, suggest use a tamper piece of wood to push anything into chute ,rather then using your arm and hand, you don`t want to grind your limb. Those chipping blades will pull anything in and bye-bye limb.
Great/amazing Sir👍
You make this amazing chopper, but not a tool that could push in the wood but physically not get caught in the chopper itself?
Anyhow 10/10 amazing skills.
interesting build, it is common for a chipper to have, for the lack of a better term, an anvil attached to the outer housing at the bottom of the inlet chute, or any that i have worked on, you then set the clearance between the knives and the anvil for the amount of bite you want. i have a 24" by 1" disk and most of the parts to build my own using a 6 cylinder gas engine.
