FOREST MASTER ELECTRIC WOOD CHIPPER 4HP DIRECT DRIVE
The FM4DDE is a patented GB2008049.5 compact electric wood chipper capable of chipping wood up to 50mm (2 inches) in diameter. The FM4DDE’s 4hp 2800-watt electric motor can rotate the chipper drum at a maximum of 2800 rpm. This enables it to easily chip all kinds of freshly cut wood from hard to soft. It is a direct drive for better performance and this also means that there are no belts that you have to keep adjusting. Although it is a powerful 2800-watt electric motor, it still runs off standard 240v household mains electricity. The UK model of the wood chipper is fitted with a UK 3-pin plug and the EU model arrives fitted with an EU Plug.
The FM4DDE has twin reversible blades so that when one side becomes worn from use the blades can simply be turned around to use the second side. This saves the need for constant resharpening and effectively doubles the life of the blades. The lightweight and compact size of the chipper enables it to be extremely manoeuvrable and easy to store. Both the feed hopper and the discharge chute have a hinged chute design, enabling the user to access the drum for quick maintenance easily. The end of the FM4DDE’s discharge chute can be angled to direct the chips.
The entrance leading directly to the cutter (hopper chute) is 95mm x 95mm. The upper section has a CE plate fitted. This safety plate is not required for USA or Canada.

Nice & compact, easy to use however the compact nature of the machine resulted in blocking of the outlet regularly, especially if the wood formed sawdust rather than chips or there were leaves on the branches which clogged the chips up. This resulted in a back up into the feed. When chipping withe right consistency of wood for draw through, worked fine but had to be done slowly. Unblocking took a lot of time due to having to un bolt the feed & outlet each time, lost a split washer in the saw dust the first time as so small Feed could easily be improved by a snap clip, rather than bolt, which be easier to open/close but would need to be properly closed before the cutting mechanism work (as with the bolt)
Fell short of my expectations for £529 & regret not going for a bigger model like my previous Hyundai
Excellent. Using a 2.5mm cable I’ve had no issues at all. It does an amazing job and chipping small branches. The wood has to be VERY green to attempt close to 50mm (this is mentioned on the instructions). Even then, feed it in gently.
Wish I’d bought one sooner. Fantastic.
Excellent product and service all round. Highly recommended on previous reviews, and maintaining an excellent service and business. I spent a while on researching the product, and all expectations were fulfilled. Thanks!
