What to Look for in a Wood Chipper Blade Supplier
Wood chipper blade suppliers play an essential role in any arborist's business. Without a reliable and knowledge supplier, you may be left without a critical tool for your business when it matters most.
For many tree trimmers, landscapers, and arborists there are times when the demand for your services increases dramatically, such as after a heavy storm. At these times, and throughout the year, it is important to have a dependable source for your wood chipper blades, one that can meet your inventory demands and provide thoughtful advice based on decades of experience.
What is the best way to select a wood chipper blade supplier? While price plays an important role, there are many other considerations to take into account. How long has the supplier been in business? Is the supplier capable of making blades to OEM specifications? Does the supplier provide precision sharpening services?
The answer to each of these questions provides insight into the capabilities, reliability, and expertise of the supplier. At American Cutting Edge, we take your business very seriously and understand how essential the right wood chipper blade is to your business operations. That is why we house a comprehensive inventory of wood chipper blades and employ a team of experts to answer your questions and help you maximize the life of your wood chipper blades.

Proudly Family Owned and Operated
Because we have spent time both on the phone and in the field with our wood chipper blade customers, we have come to know that many tree trimmers, landscapers, and arborists operate family-owned businesses. We understand the pride, hard work, and dedication involved in running a family owned and operated company and stand beside our fellow business owners.
American Cutting Edge has been a part of the Biehn family for two generations. Established by Charles Charlie Biehn as CB Manufacturing & Sales Co, the company is still under the operation of Charlie's three children, Chuck, Darlene, and Joe and employs several members of the Biehn family.
In addition to the Biehn family, the company employs many other families, including some who have worked with the company for several generations. This strong connection has created an environment in which pride in a job well-done and a commitment to our customers has flourished.
We take the time to understand the true needs of our customers and avoid applying one-size-fits-all solutions, both in our contracts and in our products. We know that small businesses are the lifeblood of our nation and do all that we can to support their efforts.

Full-Service Supplier
From the moment you contact American Cutting Edge, you will notice a difference. From our knowledgeable team to the arrival of your blades to our precision sharpening service, every aspect has been optimized to ensure that you receive the best possible service.
We often find that our wood chipper blade customers are not utilizing precision sharpening to maintain their blades or are even throwing away knives after one use. Most blades can be sharpened at least three times before reaching out-of-specification tolerances. This allows you to significantly reduce the operating costs of your business and achieve a higher profit margin.
Precision sharpening requires knowledge of OEM-mandated geometry tolerances and the proper equipment. While many options for wood chipper blade sharpening exist, only a precision sharpener can ensure that your blades are held to the dimensional and hardness specifications required by the OEM.
Non-precision sharpening often produces a blade that looks and feels sharp, yet the knife fails to meet the geometry specifications of the OEM. Out of tolerance blades shorten the life of the wood chipper and the knife. In some cases, an out of tolerance condition can cause bolts within the machine to shake loose, resulting in blade ejection and creating a lethal work environment.
A business absolutely devoted to service will have only one worry about profits. They will be embarrassingly large. “ Henry Ford
