Abstract

A log-slabbing chipper having a chipper head that includes a power-driven rotor head and multiple double-edged knives distributed about the rotor head. A detachable wear plate for each knife extends in covering relation over a cutting edge in the knife that occupies an inoperative position. The wear plate establishes a proper depth of cut for the cutting edge of a knife that follows the wear plate.
