Very cool! Except for kindling, we never split wood that small. Interested in knowing, have you ever put a good size round under there and what is the pressure rating in tons?
safety glasses? lol it isn't his eyes that are in danger.
That has to be the most dangerous way to split wood I have ever seen. It is also the fastest. Your chances of losing a finger there are pretty high. Just one tiny mistake and finger is gone.
@consaka1 Lose a finger - what a hardship, more so if you are a dentist, as I am. After three years of using this machine I am convinced that on this machine may work exclusively self-confident person. This is just a hobby and the recreation for me, so do not worry :)
@dralexwex Im in agreement just look at some of the mad wood splitters out there, where as this machine due to the slow stroke and the nature vertical action looks seriously safer than some centrifugal / flywheel powered units.....obviously care is required when operating any plant and distraction when operating would be the principal cause of a lot of accidents...even driving down the road one must focus on the job at hand..
@dralexwex I am not a dentist but have worked int eh logging industry for 25 years and would have to say, this is a very dangerous tool.... even a confident person can not pay attention for one split second and have a terrible outcome...also, what is with posting the dates of the views and all that? Is that significant for some reason?
@1overthehillsfaraway Dear Sir, I have to mention that I was very scared at the first attempt to work on this machine. But the fear is already gone when I saw the ease with which the job is done. I have already noted that the rules must be observed as follow the rules while you are driving your car or operating any machine.
@dralexwex You break a very basic rule when it comes to operating dangerous machinery... and I am NOT trying to belittle you whatsoever! You should always be afraid. When you operate this thing you have, keep thinking about your hand being smashed and cut off... the blood and gore that goes along with that... THAT will keep you from injuring yourself. What is it about wood splitters and mouse traps? People want a better way when the standard way works fine.
@1overthehillsfaraway So far I have handled about 300 cubic meters of wood without any injuries. Trees that are used here for fuel are very strong and full of knots. So this machine to me and my neighbors very worthwhile.
@1overthehillsfaraway Respecting the basic rule: that does not put fingers or hands from the top of the logs, but the logs can be kept only the sides, each story of the wounding or breaking fingers or hands is outdated. Wood splitting machine that does not spend a lot of energy and time, in my opinion is a big hit. The total electricity consumed in about 8 hours of work does not exceed 1 €.
@1overthehillsfaraway For those 8 hours of work, one person ends up tearing approximately 9 - 10 meters cubic of wood - is not that great? If you have a better suggestion - let me know.
Idk if this would work or not but instead of pulling them apart like that ever thought of just splitting it in the middle then flipping it over and splitting it again?
...this machine is similar to one i ran in a shake mill years ago. the part that came down was connected to an 8" wedge....the log was cut into chunks the chunks were split and the splits were sawn so we had shakes as the end.....
my fingers are aching just thinking about a mishap. damn not a forgiving machine if you get sidetracked or distracted for a sec since that ram never stopped pumping into the wood like that!
How does he or she takes to wet wood, not the best I bet. Every wood spitter I have seen on you tube has cut dry wudda bout wet, maybe then you might get drinks in between splitting wet wood
Who has not tried, hi will never find out how easy it is to work with these machine. Of course, the rules must be respected. Who posca while cutting a slice of bread, he certainly should not work splitting wood. This is idea for those who really understand the splitting of wood. No offense to others:)
Ova mašina radi na principu ubodne testere, sve je u mehanici, dakle nema nikakve hidraulike. Sve što može da se cijepa sjekirom može i mašinom. Potpuno je bezopasna ako se pridržavate pravila upotrebe. Konstruisao sam je isključivo za svoje potrebe. Ne proizvodim ih za prodaju.
safe? yes, until you hit a knot and it shoots the wood into your torso. i guess it IS safe, compared to having serbs/bosnians chasing to murder you.....
Wow looks little dangerous
