Would this chipper work on softwood like cottonwood twigs? I have pile and piles of small twigs ranging from 10 inches long to a few feet long.

It can handle small twigs, but it was frustratingly slow and the slot is small, so if you are impatient and feed it faster it will clog, and will need to be cleared. I was attempting to mulch tomato and the length was about 18 inches and it continually stopped (won't pull through on it's own - needs to be pushed in with insert).

I don't see why not. I had a lot of piles of branches and twigs from all different types of trees and as long as 8 feet and up to 1" in diameter piled up at the back of my lot and when I bought this chipper, I spent about an hour and chipped everything up without any problems.

I'm sure it would. I have put blackberry vines, pine and cypress branches, corn stalks and grapevines through it along with piles of leaves. It got clogged a little with pine needles but was easy to free it up.

I bought this chipper for my 88 year old mother-in-law and she had it 3 days before she sold it to someone else cuz it would not do the job she needed it to do. To be honest I think it would have problems even with twigs. Sorry...:(

I would think it would work to remove leaves & pine needles, providing there's a thick enough layer built up so as to be caught by the rake ... The blade does not down directly on the roof because of the little wheels that are on the blade.

It will score and cut chipboard if you can pass down firmly enough. I've used it on the white sided chipboard.

I am almost sure the Sun Joe Chipper will shred sponge or form but I have not tried this material. I'm a retired science teacher and I suggest you try an experiment to see how well the chipper handles this material. Start with a small amount and go from there.

It throws out both wood chips and sawdust, but, more of the chips. It also depends on the hardness and grain of the wood. I find this tool can be very dangerous on hard woods as it can skip off the work piece if you are not paying attention to the grain. It is a wonderful tool if used correctly.

I have not used it for this. However the small blade would make shredding foam or sponge difficult. It's a much better "chipper" for branches & sticks than a shredder for soft, loose & bulky material. The 'mouth' is not wide or deep like a funnel but shallow w/ a small-ish opening.

I think it would, but could throw lots of bark. It could also take off lots of material below the bark. Judging by other posts, it should work. I use it on an angle grinder for my wood carving (periodically). Remember, on a grinder it will be fairly HIGH RPMs. Dave

Well you could try it on small tree limbs but it will probably dull the blades faster. I used it to trim the branches on a big bush with some thicker limbs but I wouldn't do it all the time.

I am not sure how it would work- my soil is sandy clay. However, I think if you didn't press down too hard, it would work the smaller rocks to the surface. It's not intended to work like a "big" tiller, if my ground is totally hard it just skitters around on top of it.

I use it on an old 10" table top saw with a 5/8" arbor. It works quite well. The table plate just barely clears on mine so you might want to check that before you purchase one.

It's probably not the best tool for large areas. This is more of a strategic trimmer. The head is is only 3/4" in length so it will be slow going. I would not recommend it for that use.

It works very well with small rocks (2-3inched) and root filled soil. I use branch cutters to cut large roots that the tiller digs up.

No it will not work welll with a large amount of leaves. This is a "light" duty blower. Very handy for small jobs but definitely not for a large pile of leaves.

I'm sure it can, but put it to the side, not directly on coals or flame (Indirect heating). However, if U are using coals, try presoaking the wood chips, then spreading them directly onto coals. Hope this helps.

It's fairly small, but works very nicely with the recommended wood pellets. Not sure how it would work with wood chips, but the pellets work very well.

As nice as this little unit is---it is still a "little" unit and you will probably find it won't work well for really hard wood (dogwood is also a surprisingly hard wood). It is best for doing a lot of cutting of softer wood AND if they are attached to the tree--that is if you try to hold a branch and cut it in the middle you will find that the saw can't "bite" into it. think of it as a small chain saw.

I have not tried it for this. It is a chipper not a shredder, so I think it would not.
