A disc chipper has thick double-edged chipper blades clamped in rectangular pockets between a knife segment and a knife clamp which are connected to a chipper disc. The blades are precisely positioned for cutting by knife stops selected from a set of knife stops of incremental modular widths. A different width knife stop is used to position the chipper knife blades each time it is sharpened. After each sharpening the knife blade has a selected width which is smaller by a constant incremental value, and it is assembled with a mating knife stop from the set so that the blade edge position remains unchanged.

A material processing tool assembly includes a tool for material processing having a base section and a processing section extending from the base section; and a tool mounting block mountable on an outer surface of a support base. The mounting block has a base surface and a tool mounting surface intersecting the base surface. The base surface has a protuberance extending away therefrom and spaced apart from the tool mounting surface to define a tool receiving gap between the protuberance and the tool mounting surface. The base section of the tool is snugly received in the tool receiving gap between the tool mounting surface and the protuberance in abutment with the tool mounting surface, the processing section of the tool extending past the protuberance. A displaceable material processing head and method of mounting a material processing tool to a mounting block secured to a displaceable head are also discussed.

An impact cutter blade and holder system is disclosed. The impact cutter blade and holder system includes: a cutter disk, a plurality of impact holders, and a plurality of impact cutter blades. The cutter disk has a central axis about which the cutter disk is configured to rotate. The plurality of impact holders are secured to the cutter disk. The plurality of impact cutter blades is secured to the plurality of impact holders.

A tooth for use on a rotating element has a base attached to the rotating element and a cutter assembly removably attached to the base. The cutter assembly has an upper ramp surface and a blade. In another aspect, the tooth has a base attached to the rotating element and the base includes one or more base tab and slot elements. The tooth also includes a cutter assembly that has one or more cutter assembly tab and slot elements. Each of the one or more cutter assembly tab and slot elements is configured for a mating engagement with a corresponding one of the one or more base tab and slot elements. In another aspect, a rotary drum for use on a vegetation cutting machine includes a plurality of teeth that each have a base attached to the rotary drum and a cutter assembly removably attached to the base.

A cutter wheel includes a drive plate having a first side and a second side opposite the first side. A wear plate is coupled to the first side of the drive plate for rotation with the drive plate. First and second cutters are coupled to the wear plate such that the wear plate is at least partially between the first side of the drive plate and the first and second cutters. Each cutter includes a cutter tip and a fastener-mounting aperture. A first fastener extends through the fastener-mounting aperture of the first cutter, through a first fastener-receiving aperture in the wear plate, and into a first aperture in the drive plate. A second fastener extends through the fastener-mounting aperture of the second cutter, through a respective fastener-receiving aperture in the wear plate, and into a respective aperture in the drive plate.

A shredder blade assembly is disclosed having a rotor configured to be mounted on a rotating shaft, the rotor having opposing faces with a plurality of angled knife receptacles and a plurality of knife inserts mounted within the plurality of knife receptacles. Each knife insert has two opposing faces and each opposing face comprises three cutting edges such that each knife insert has six cutting edges. Only one of the cutting edges is exposed at an outer peripheral edge of the shredder blade assembly during use. The knife inserts are configured to be removed, rotated (and flipped as needed), and re-mounted within the plurality of knife receptacles to expose another of the cutting edges at the outer peripheral edge of the shredder blade assembly. The knife insert may be triangular and mounted to expose one vertex to create a plurality of tooth/hook projections.

A tooth for use on a rotating element has a base attached to the rotating element and a cutter assembly removably attached to the base. The cutter assembly has an upper ramp surface and a blade. In another aspect, the tooth has a base attached to the rotating element and the base includes one or more base tab and slot elements. The tooth also includes a cutter assembly that has one or more cutter assembly tab and slot elements. Each of the one or more cutter assembly tab and slot elements is configured for a mating engagement with a corresponding one of the one or more base tab and slot elements. In another aspect, a rotary drum for use on a vegetation cutting machine includes a plurality of teeth that each have a base attached to the rotary drum and a cutter assembly removably attached to the base.

A material processing tool assembly includes a tool for material processing having a base section and a processing section extending from the base section; and a tool mounting block mountable on an outer surface of a support base. The mounting block has a base surface and a tool mounting surface intersecting the base surface. The base surface has a protuberance extending away therefrom and spaced apart from the tool mounting surface to define a tool receiving gap between the protuberance and the tool mounting surface. The base section of the tool is snugly received in the tool receiving gap between the tool mounting surface and the protuberance in abutment with the tool mounting surface, the processing section of the tool extending past the protuberance. A displaceable material processing head and method of mounting a material processing tool to a mounting block secured to a displaceable head are also discussed.

The disclosure discloses a cutterhead assembly of a branch grinder, including a cutterhead body, a center shaft disposed in a center of the cutterhead body and at least two installing shafts circumferentially distributed by using the center shaft as an axis, each of the at least two installing shafts is successively provided with a limiting plate, a first blade, a first bush, a second blade and a second bush from top to bottom, the first blade and the second blade are in clearance fit with a corresponding installing shaft in the at least two installing shafts, a center of the limiting plate is positioned at an upper end of the center shaft and a gap is kept between the limiting plate and an upper end of the first blade, an outer end of the limiting plate is stretched into the installing shafts and fixed, through the above installation, the first blade and the second blade can be completely rotated in 360 degrees relative to the installing shafts, in a circumferential rotating process of the blade, shredded wood can be taken out from the center of the cutterhead body, and a problem, that material blockage is caused to affect a cutting effect of the cutterhead assembly due to the material is stacked in the center of the cutterhead body 1, is avoided.
