Can anyone give me some insight on sharpening chipper knives while still on the drum? I really don't care to pull them out and send them to be sharpened so I was wondering what everyone does for a more routine maintenance (weekly, monthly sharpening?)

Mine are double sided, But I have an extra set and just slap them on when I take the other set off. GEt them sharpened locally $50 for them-double sided- Your better off taking them off as I have never heard of anyone sharpening them while still on. What kind of chipper you running?
 
Vermeer BC1000, I know its not that difficult to take them out and flip or replace but I wanted to know if anyone did like a weekly touchup or anything.
 
go to site sponser baily's. search under chipper knives. it,s hand held blade dresser. works good if you don't lett them get to dull.
