Wood Chipper

Give your overgrown head a quick pruning and clear out the old growth, letting some new ideas sprout into the sunlight. A wood chipper is a machine used for turning wood (generally tree limbs or trunks) into wood chips or sawdust. The wood chips created are typically one to two inches (3-5 cm) across in size. They can be used as ground cover or as a raw material for paper making. The biggest machines used in wood processing, called "Tub Grinders," can handle wood pieces that are eight feet (250 cm) or greater, and use carbide tipped flail hammers to pulverize wood rather than cut it.
