Fastest Vertical Log Splitter

[@McKameyFarms]

She’s a beaut Clark! Sweet machine Mike.. Thanks for taking us along on the maiden voyage. Eastonmade did some really sweet upgrades to an already awesome machine.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

She’s fast!! They definitely fixed a lot of the minor issues. Nice splitter Mike👍🏻👍🏻

[@KNLFirewood]

Hello Todd! I appreciate you watching!

[@craigwilson9560]

Awesome machine Mike! Great speed! Congrat on the new Axis!

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

That powder coat is supper slick . I took a lil sand paper an just scuffed a small area under the knife . Made a big difference but it still will kick pieces out . I really want to put a few small welds on the table like I have on buster but figured I’d wait till we wore the paint off first .

[@marcjoanis6862]

Looking good Mike, thanks for supporting EM.

[@KNLFirewood]

Thanks Marc! I appreciate you guys!

[@clubdoraoutdoorsandfirewood]

Hi Mike, that Axis is very fast, be careful. Eastonmade improved a lot of things on this model. As long as you are happy that’s all that counts. You’ll fly through the wood. You did have quite a a pile saved up. Let her buck. Later Al

[@adirondackwoodsman]

Congratulations on the new Axis Mike!

[@davidedwards3734]

Great new splitter!! Can't wait till you get used to the machine to see how must you can produce!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

[@KNLFirewood]

Hi David! Me either. A little learning curve for sure!

[@outdoorsinthe608]

Sweet upgrade Mike! Love that new improved Axis👍👍

[@KNLFirewood]

Thanks Jeremiah!

[@TwinCityFirewood]

Awesome machine Mike!! The speed is impressive man! And the transition from the log lift table to the orange table is slicker than owl snot!! Happy for you! 👊🏻

[@KNLFirewood]

I don't know how slick owl snot is, but I'm assuming it's a pretty slippery substance. Probably similar to a hair climbing up a pole, or whatever you said the other night 🤣. Thanks man!

[@firewoodathome]

Nice, Mike. Congrats. I also kind of liked the 10x video speed with the 1x sound.

[@KNLFirewood]

Hi Bill! I learned the 10x speed with 1x sound trick from Dig Drive DiY. He does that quite a bit in his videos. I kinda like it too. Thanks!

[@nathanbrown5761]

Nice video, I'm south of Crawfordsville, near Greencastle and Brazil. I'm just getting started in this, it seems to be a great community.

[@KNLFirewood]

Hi Nathan! There's a bunch of great people in this group! Just getting started with YT or just getting started with firewood...or both?

[@nathanbrown5761]

@@KNLFirewoodDefinitely sales. Not sure on the KZbin portion. Not sure how to even go about the video portion.

[@AnthonyMills-b9j]

Great vid. I have one of these with conveyor headed my way in a month or so. It will replace the 1.5 version I have now, which is for sale.

[@KNLFirewood]

You'll love it. It's faster and seemingly more powerful. It's the same tonnage as the previous but it seems more powerful. Run it on 1/2 or 3/4 throttle and it's much more pleasant to run. Almost don't need ear protection. 👍

[@shotlifffamilyfirewood]

they made some great improvements on the axis for sure! congrats on the new machine

[@KNLFirewood]

Thanks!

[@Living-The-Dream]

Great addition to the wood yard Mike 👍 you better put on your “Umpire” outfit till you get used to it …….got to protect the essentials 🤣 Enjoy it 👍👏🪵😎🇺🇸

[@KNLFirewood]

Gotta watch the "special no-no place"!

[@timbervisions]

Looks like a great upgrade Mike. May it serve you well

[@KNLFirewood]

They made some NICE upgrades!

[@timbervisions]

@KNLFirewood looks that way. Love the front controls

[@oldguyfirewood]

Looking good Mike. I'm sure there's a short learning curve on the new AXIS but once you get past that you will be producing a lot of great wood with minimal scrap. I'm thinking I'll follow your lead 😉!

[@KNLFirewood]

It's a great machine. Lots of power and speed! Looking forward to it!

[@Ridgewood460]

Congratulations on your new axis. I may need to upgrade my axis now after seeing your new one

[@KNLFirewood]

Definitely has some nice updated features!

[@obiorah1]

congratulations on your new machine,

[@KNLFirewood]

Thanks Ebele!

[@lyleharkness-rv5vf]

Awesome upgrade, good splitting 👍

[@KNLFirewood]

Thanks Lyle!

[@WilleysFirewood]

Congrats on the new Axis. Verticals make the best consistent size splits for bundles and bags.

[@KNLFirewood]

I think they work best on both ends of the spectrum...they make great, consistent premium bundle wood AND the single knife works pretty darn good on the junk...what I call "boiler wood". Thanks for watching Russ!

[@TCsOutdoors1]

Well I’m jealous. Congrats that thing is awesome!

[@KNLFirewood]

Hey Tony! I'm excited to have a vertical splitter back in the yard to help with all the "junk" I accumulated!

[@outdoorswithlarryrobin]

Good morning Mike. It’s quick for sure. Watch the fingers, buddy.😂👍🇺🇸

[@KNLFirewood]

Super fast!

[@FirewoodMidwest]

Man, that’s a nice splitter! Fast! Go team orange and blue! Did you get a couple EM flags for the wood yard yet? I was thinking some tread tape on there would give it some more grip. Don’t know how it would hold up dragging big pieces across it though. Good show Mike!👍🏻

[@KNLFirewood]

I was thinking your comment section was messed up...I had not seen a comment from you yet 🤣🤣. I did not get any flags. They are working on a beacon for me through. You know, like Batman, but this will be EM. I bought some rhino lining in a can today. We'll see how that works. Thanks as always Rod!

[@OGAOutdoors]

Mike looks like a nice machine. Make sure you count your fingers when you finish, especially with those slippery conditions. Take care, Ben.

[@KNLFirewood]

Thanks Ben! So far I still have 10!

[@LogCabinFirewood]

Definitely a nice machine, glda you put some nasty stuff on there for its maiden voyage. Definitely think you're gonna be blasting through the wood soon!!!

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

With a few of you guys getting new updated machines, i like my metric built classic. 😂 Just like a good, reliable classic truck, they are hard to get rid of. 😉👍

[@KNLFirewood]

Ol' stand by's are hard to get rid of!

[@nicknapier8209]

I have the new axis as well , love it. Keep your hands to the side. No digits on o

[@KNLFirewood]

For sure!

[@richysoutdoors2591]

Looking mighty happy there Mike , nice machine . In a very short time you’ll be runnin’ that thing just at whatever speed you want . 🍺☑️ Later

[@KNLFirewood]

Hi Richy! I'm pretty happy with it. Just a little learning curve.

[@NeighborlyHomestead]

Sweet machine!

[@KNLFirewood]

Thanks!

[@chrismartin4776]

I wondered when you were going to have the updated Axis. The updated log lift is much handier for transportation!

[@KNLFirewood]

True! I didn't mention that!

[@HybridWoodworks]

Got mine a few weeks ago. There is no way I’d run it at full speed. Crazy fast. But that’s what I prefer, since now I can run it at 2200 RPM for production splitting. Less fuel, less noise, less wear and tear on the engine. Much better user experience than running the 14hp wide open. I’m thinking of adding a removable plate on the table. Maybe something with a ton of 1/4” holes drilled in it for grip. I’d install it when I process a batch of smaller rejects and tree service garbage. Then take it off when I have bigger clean rounds that I want to slide and rotate easily. Still thinking of a good design.

[@KNLFirewood]

That's a really good idea actually! I was thinking about spraying a little rhino lining right under the knife?? I know it will wear off but don't want to do something "permanent". I'm going to think about that plate idea. Overall you hit the nail on the head. Much more pleasant to run.

[@fricknjeep]

hi there real nice splitter , best to all john

[@KNLFirewood]

Hey John! Thanks!

[@dereksstuff8395]

Holy crap. That's soooo nice

[@KNLFirewood]

It is!!

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

Nice machine Mike. Does it have the engine rpm idle down feature if you stop using it for a few minutes. ? Gotta watch those pieces sliping out. Nice upgrades. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋

[@KNLFirewood]

Thanks! Yes it does. Slippery when wet.

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

Woo hoo. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋

[@amandadavis9726]

That’s an awesome splitter. Just got mine on Monday. It’s hard not to run it for an hour a day, 😅.

[@KNLFirewood]

Nice! Once you have one all you want to do is push that pedal!

[@TheTorkerman]

Nice splitter! What’s the odd looking yellow wood?

[@KNLFirewood]

Osage orange!

[@RobertFramejr]

She fast it looks great

[@KNLFirewood]

Yes sir! Thanks!

[@LeBlancfirewood]

Took the conveyor off mine today easier to load my 16 ft

[@KNLFirewood]

Conveyor is handy, just didn't think I needed it this time.

[@amandadavis9726]

I just let it pile up down one side of my trailer, and then turn the trailer around to do the other side. That way, I don’t have to spend time raking it level so that it doesn’t fall off, lol. I guess it depends on how much room you have at your location.

[@nicknapier8209]

No digits on top

[@inthebackyardwithdel438]

Hey Mike , congratulations on the new axis . Very fast and I like how they improved upon the small things like the lift . You will years of service from this machine . 👍🏻🪵🔥
