A chipper roller for a two-stage grinding machine has removable circular knives spaced axially and circumferentially in an array following a helical path of two turns about the surface of the roller. Each knife is in the form of a disc with a central aperture for accepting a fastening element and with a cutting edge on one side adjacent its periphery and an annular groove on the same side adjacent said edge creating a rake which cooperates with the walls of the groove to produce curls from chunks of material. The knives are fastened to the roller in recesses with only a minor portion of the knife projecting above the surface of the roller. Upon dulling of the exposed edge the knife can be rotated to bring a sharp section of the cutting edge into operation.
