I wouldn't use that to split wood, to pretty. Might skuff the paint! Great design, flawless work. You deserve a hearty YOU SUCK. Look forward to seeing it work Oct 11.

Honda 390

22gpm?


A couple questions/observations

Most commercial splitters put the outfeed table lower -- presumably to keep it from getting bent up. Any trouble with yours at the higher height? I can see it being better for pulling logs back to be re split at the height you made yours.

Which 3 spool valve did you use? ...Does it have a pressure release detent for the splitting cylinder??

What size tube did you use for the four way post and sleeve?

TIA and VERY nice work!

 

[A.E. Metal Werx]

22gpm 5" cylinder
No issues that I know of with the log table, I like it level so it's easy to slide pieces back though. Work smarter not harder. Yes the valve is a pressure return detent. Sleeve is 1/2" wall and the post is 3/8" wall.

ive been eying one for a few years but havent really needed it yet, ive got an old MM 200 (one of the best MM ever made IMO) and a syncrowave 250, that have been able to handle everything i do for side work but a 350P would be nice...

 

[A.E. Metal Werx]

I was rocking a Hobart 180, great machine but the duty cycle killed me, I also have a syncrowave 200 that I converted to be watercooled. I sure spent a lot of $$ on tools and equipment this year, just the track burner and welder shaved off a lot of time and work. Not one thing a regret getting though.

Awesome splitter! At first I thought you were going to use the main box beam as the tank for the oil. It probably wouldnt hold the 30+ gallons in the tank you built though... Ever consider using it as the oil tank when you were in fab mode..?

 

[A.E. Metal Werx]

I did but location of oil lines concerned me, weight distribution and oil moving around during towing. Capacity would only be 21 gallons toped off. Witch would be enough but gotta allow for air space
