Abstract
A disk chipper includes a bedknife, the bedknife having opposing first and second surfaces, and a chipper frame, the chipper frame having an opening for receiving the bedknife, the opening being defined by opposing first and second surfaces for facing the first and second surfaces of the bedknife, respectively. The disk chipper further includes a wedge, the wedge being movable in a first direction between the second surface of the bedknife and the second surface of the chipper frame to move the first surface of the bedknife in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction toward the first surface of the chipper frame. A method for fastening a bedknife to a disk chipper is also disclosed.

A method for fastening a stationary bedknife for a disk chipper to a chipper frame, comprising the steps of:
- positioning a first surface of a bedknife relative to a first surface of a chipper frame;
- moving a wedge between a second surface of the bedknife opposite the first surface of the bedknife and a second surface of the chipper frame opposite the first surface of the chipper frame so that the bedknife is held in place between the wedge and the first surface of the chipper frame.
A disk chipper, comprising:
- a bedknife, the bedknife having opposing first and second surfaces;
- a chipper frame, the chipper frame having an opening for receiving the bedknife, the opening being defined by opposing first and second surfaces for facing the first and second surfaces of the bedknife, respectively;
- and
- a wedge, the wedge being movable in a first direction between the second surface of the bedknife and the second surface of the chipper frame to move the first surface of the bedknife in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction toward the first surface of the chipper frame.
