Chipper knife sources.

[flushcut]

I am shopping around for a different source of chipper knives and stumbled across American Cutting Edge, Industrial Blades and Knives. So has anybody bought from them? Vermeer bc1500 $61.59 per knife isn't bad IMO

Well I just ordered four sets so we will se how they do. I just swapped in a new set so it might be a bit before I can give feedback.

I imagine they'll be just fine, they even used the oem spec a8 steel.

Modified a8! Lol

I have a feeling they will be fine. I read up on the company and it seems they have it going on.

Did not see blades for my 1250, although I think the 1230 blades fit. I'll have to dig deeper. My set of 4 are around 200.00 last bought and the anvil doubled

I have a feeling they can make them for you.

WesSpur was the cheapest I found for my buddy's 1998 Vermeer 1250 (same knives as the 1230). They are up to $42 each now but they have no sales tax and free shipping. They are actually Brush Bandit branded knives so I assume they have a chipper that uses the same size. Very good knives, edge lasts a long time.

Yeah I get hit with sales tax now, but the shipping is free.
Good ol CA.
I kind of did it to myself. One of our local saw shops (hardware store really) needed to help out all the crews when the beetle kill and ROW populated the place with tree crews. No local climb stores, guy gets in a pinch when he needs something NOW. So I helped set them up with WesSpur. Which in turn, makes WesSpur tax me since they have a "store" (whatever) in CA. My bad.

I have used ACE twice. No complaint and much cheaper than Altec OEM. They shipped the knives really fast too.

Good to hear!

I think that tax is on all sales, now, for WA, regardless of state of the seller. Used to be tax- free.

It doesn't give out- of- state sellers a benefit.


Curious what others find for their state's sales taxes.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Any store that has a foot in CA has to charge CA tax and local tax (8.75 % here) even though its an internet sale.

Also CA may have passed a law that they were trying to pass for a while now, tax on ALL internet sales shipped to the state, presence or not

So as of 2022, I guess its not all my fault
But you can blame me starting 2016 or 2017

I think that really applies to all states, but maybe CA makes the merchant do the work? I'm sure everyone declares their purchases on their taxes at the end of the year like I do, right? ;^)

Knife order arrived. All looks well and good.
