To grind, break and shred wood, the machines must be fitted with proper attachments and engaging tools. One tool includes a front a front face and a back face connected by two opposing side faces and an opposing top face and base face. The front face has a concave shape and an outer channel which extends inwardly into the front face. The front face also has a tube a tube extending outwardly from said front face. The tube is located within the outer channel.

Claims (22)

1. An engaging tool, said tool comprising:

a front face and a back face connected by two opposing side faces and an opposing top face and base face;

wherein said front face comprises a concave V-shape, wherein said V-shape extends from said top face to said base face;

wherein said front face comprises an outer channel which extends inwardly into said front face;

a tube extending outwardly from said front face, wherein said tube comprises internal threading;

wherein said outer channel comprises an outer concentric circle and wherein said tube is located within said outer channel.

2. The engaging tool of claim 1 wherein said two opposing sides are approximately parallel to one another, and wherein said two opposing sides are approximately perpendicular to said top face.

3. The engaging tool of claim 1 wherein said tube and said engaging tool comprise a single integrally made piece.

4. The engaging tool of claim 1 wherein said tube comprises a hollow internal cavity.

5. The engaging tool of claim 4 wherein said internal cavity extends from said tube and through the entirety of said engaging tool.

6. The engaging tool of claim 4 wherein said internal cavity comprises an unrestricted cavity.

7. The engaging tool of claim 4 wherein said internal cavity comprises a restricted cavity.

8. The engaging tool of claim 1 wherein said front face comprises two opposing downwardly sloping sides, wherein said downward sloping sides intersect at an inflection point.

9. The engaging tool of claim 8 , wherein said inflection point is located approximately at a midpoint along said width of said front face.

10. The engaging tool of claim 8 wherein a midpoint of said tube is located approximately at said inflection point.

11. The engaging tool of claim 1 wherein said tube has top, and wherein said top is lower in elevation than the elevation of said side face.

12. The engaging tool of claim 1 wherein said tube is permanently attached to said front face.

13. The engaging tool of claim 1 further comprising fins which extend from the top and base sides.

14. The engaging tool of claim 1 wherein said V-shape extends from said top face to said base face at a constant V-shape with a constant slope.

15. The engaging tool of claim 14 wherein said back face comprises a V-shaped convex shape.

16. The engaging tool of claim 1 further comprising at least one fin which extends from the top side.

17. The engaging tool of claim 8 wherein said two opposing downwardly sloping sides comprise a uniform slope from the top face to said base face.
