Bolts for chipper blades?

MTS247 · 26th July 2010, 10:30 AM

What sort of bolts are others using? are they a special strength?

The manual is no help here, so i'm wondering if i can go to the local bolt shop or not?

Cheers guys

May depend on the brand of chipper but I have been using ,grade 12.8 high tensile on a bandit 1590,15/16 -11 unc 2".As others have said most bolt shops can tell the grade by looking at them.
