home made wood splitter. 24 way wedge

welded some scrap metal and other shit together and this is the result. Need still some changes, mostly whit the lifter (too weak) and blade adjustmet, weak also.

Nice! Here is my 24 ton log splitter with 2 hydraulic cylinders, I have built a splitting wedge too. Very fast machine :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqKyoqKfbat4ntE

Genius. Lots of rooms for tweaks but what invention hasn't? Perfect for my maple syrup shack since I need smaller sticks to burn. Good job, man.

[@beebob1279]

Thank you for great demonstration. Wish I had the metal skills to do something like this. I like the lift and the multi split wedge. One and done. I use a sledge and a wedge. Sometimes a maul. I just can't keep doing this as I'm getting older. Three cords swinging a sledge is wearing out the shoulders and hands

Great built! But the table to collect the cuts doesn't seem to work. Perhaps rather a slide?

[@josevelasco3245]

Awesome…I am sure you noticed it but your table grate would def help if it came back more to catch those splits.

Here is some story about buildin. In finnish thou.. konekansa.net/threads/klapikone-projekti.62249/ If i would start all over, i would spend more money on proper steel, suitable for this kind of machine. And copy somethin like eastonmade splitter. They look very nice. But this machine cost about 500€, so pretty low budget.

[@rogerdowney5220]

Fun when you get a big block stuck on there. Ya need a thicker push plate....surf the salvage yard for 1 inch and weld a grid of 1inch nuts to it

[@mika69ize]

Actually, i havent have a bromlem with big woods. But few times i have got a good jam with small ones. A big diameter wood pushes previous wood thru and clears the wedge. Too small wood can wedge whit previous wood and create a good jam. But overall im happy with the machine and it is ok for my needs. The steel is too thin on the push plate. And many other places too. Did not understand, why the commorsial machines used so thich steel. Now i do.

@@mika69ize I think it's a great set up. Very impressive.

[@allegiencelies6610]

How many gallons per minute is the pump? What tonnage is the ram? And how many horsepower are the electric motors? I want to geek out on the details

[@mika69ize]

Hi, overall flow is 23l/min, so about 6 gallons. The motors are 3kw each, so total power 6kw. I dont no exact diameter of the piston, guessing 125mm, cylinder outer diameter is 140mm. So at max pressure 210bar the force is about 25 metric tons.

Kyllähän tuossa muutama asia tulisi tehtyä erilailla, nyt kun konetta on käyttänyt ja huomannut ongelmat. Mutta ku ite tekee, saa sitä mitä tulee 😄 isolle puulle pelaa kyllä hyvin, pienemmälle puulle tarttis olla eri terä, mutta sitten taas turhan hidas. Giljotiinikone olisi hyvä kaveri tuolle, jolla menis pienemmät puut nopeaan.

Will it split hardwoods?

Hi, i really cant say. 95% of the wood that i split is birch, alder, spruce and pine. Here, in Finland we dont have much hardwood. And when we do have, it is tought to be too valuable to "waist" burning. This oak was strike by lightning and we make table out of it. photos.app.goo.gl/gPbHAs4gG3dUWhir9

Why have a lift if you already are lifting logs around kinda defeats the purpose of having one....but all said it's a good build 👍👌🇨🇦

[@mika69ize]

😅 True. Actually havent use the lift too much. One time even tought that that was a waste of time to build it. But then again, this winter splitted some large birch and then it is nice to have lift when one peace weight is 40-80kg. And there is pritty obvious desing flaw. The splitting operation handle is on the other side than the lift. You can reach it, but litlle unplesent to use like that. The handel sould have been center of the machine.

Sorry, not for sale. And if i charge even 10€/h for work, it would be too expensive. There is a lots of commercial manufacturer, that makes good and better machines. Eastonmade for example.. And there is safety issues too, this certainly dot fill regulations.
