Log Splitter

[DaveH]

Vtsteam,

Thanks for the info
I can weld - just not properly I can always take it to a proper welder - it won't cost much.

Nearly all the small log splitters tend to have the wedge fixed at one end whereas the larger ones tend to have the wedge on the ram. I'm sure there is a reason - perhaps it is the twisting of the log ???

I've gone away from the fixed thin wedge to a much bigger fixed taper wedge (similar size to the ones on the low force commercial log splitters ). Also there will be more (welding) surface in contact with the top flange so that should help a little with the side to side forces.
