Webco Debarker Tip Colors

Ever wonder what the color on your tip indicates? It signifies the tip angle, also known as the cutting rake angle, which affects how the tip engages the log. If you saw last month’s shop post, it explains in detail why the tip angle matters. It’s only a few degrees’ difference, but those degrees can make a noticeable impact on performance and wear depending on you bark and conditions. Below is a simple color-coded chart for the common replacement tips used on Nicholson and Valon Kone debarking machines in British Columbia.
