increasing the gap only leads to poor chipping performance, excessive strain on the knives, quick dulling of the edge, the only true way on a chipper to increase the chip size is to increase the material input speed. If you think of a pair of scissors, how poorly they cut if loose or if there is a gap in the blades. If the gap is large enough, they won’t even cut. I own a Vermeer chipper, and I can slow the feed down to almost make sawdust, or speed it up and make inch or more chips.
I don't think I'm able to speed up the feed any. Well thx guys, yous gave me some ideas, so gonna work on that sometime...at the least open the machine up and see if I could increase the gap slightly.
