This was really cool video idea. What really impressed me was the cycle time was so quick you just kept pace with it. I rarely use a splitter, I swing a maul. I’m more efficient with a maul than a box store splitter. But when ever I do get a splitter it will be one of those eastonmade units, that is incredible.

Hi Heath - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. I've used an 8hp Italian vertical electric splitter for over 15 years, producing up to 180 cords some years, now down to say 30. For me it has always been a no brainer to keep my single wedge as sharp as hell to reduce pressure on all the machine components. I don't fear the sharp wedge on my machine - I consider the real danger for me is my fingers getting pinched either between logs or especially against the splitter table, hence the reason for me preferring to use log tongs to distance my fingers from these risks.

One more tip ! For knarly heating wood full of knots I have used a pump up garden sprayer with used motor oil cut with diesel fuel to spray the wedge down. Reduces friction quite a bit. If the wood is going to a cooker then use used cooking oil as a lube on the wedge.

I'm new to this channel. I notice the kickback most often happens when wood piles up in front after splitting. When it falls off & empties the plate, there was no kick back. Maybe taking off the paint will help like shining a bull dozer blade or a turning plough. Yep, a sharper edge works better. Fingers can't take it whether dull or sharp, Ouch!

I've noticed that most of the wedges all get sharpened on one side, therefore pushing the block of wood to one side. When going through a multi- edge head, the block cannot move off to one side because all the wedges are holding it creating compaction. If you were to sharpen on both sides you would reduce this compaction by 50% sliding through with more ease and more speed

Hello HWM & HWW, a sharp wedge or a dull wedge no safer either way as far a where your hand is, less kickbacks or pieces that spin out and off the splitter is a safety thing, but in my experience that is either speed or nasty knots, soft wood or stringy wood I agree sharp is good, a more blunt edge on a wedge is not bad for nice straight grain hard woods, as it tends to need a bit more force but pops the wood open, many times you do not need to run the entire stroke of the ram to split, Good Vid, shows that knowing what you are up against with different types of wood, if you split some GUM or ELM, that sharp wedge will shine even brighter.

Without wasting a bunch of time & energy, all you have to do is get yourself a "sharp chisel, and a dull chisel". Which one cuts better and easier?🤔 PS: They also say a little ear wax makes it slide better too🤣

You've only hit the first part, you need to back over with a good bastard file. To put a keen edge on it. Myself, thinks the paint is only there for shipping. But I've been wrong before.

Just a small and simple advice. If you use such a grinder to sharpen an axe you will of course destroy the axe because of the heat the grinder develops. I'm sorry to tell this.

if the hydraulics (hoses etc) can handle it. maybe your thinking is you can work faster b/c it's sharper. just a thought. not being a Meany.

It should reduce the cycle time a little bit on tougher splitting rounds. I think the biggest benefit is the reduced debris from the cleaner splitting.

Rachel watch you don’t cut your beautiful hair now plus watch the sparks don’t burn your cute t- shirt . Heath got his hair fix up for the lady on u tube 😊. Remember boys and girls THINK SAFETY around sharpen wood splitter wedge always put SAFETY FIRST carry on boys and girls . 8:13 😢
