Mill 'em, nails be damned.
When I first smuggled the supersplit out of USA I recall something Paul either said or I read he said, along the lines of "if you can get it on the table, the supersplit will split it". Now, that sounds like a challenge to me, which I accepted and with the aid of a tractor I put some downright dangerous rounds on that table. Whilst he was correct, it was utterly counterproductive. On more than a few occasions (I'm a slow learner) I'd have rotated the round 360 degrees with splits started every 4" around the circumference but the rounds were nowhere near close to breaking apart. I've learned that depending on the species, even if I can lift it onto the table myself, it's still worth noodling it because of the time saved splitting it, as noodling takes some tension out of the round that then doesn't bind on the wedge as easily, there's less chance of overwhelming the available space on the table, and the noodled sections are easier to wrangle on the table.
