Super Split Table

[Wood Doctor]

I built a similar one for a friend that slides just underneath his hydraulic splitter's beam and spans both sides. He's crazy about it. I like yours better because it's almost even with the top edge of the beam, whereas mine is flush with the bottom edge. Regardless, it works.

One thing I did was add a 2" high lip on both outer edges and the sides leading to the beam to that the logs don't roll off. Oh, and I made mine using construction grade lumber and slapped on two coats of exterior deck stain.

If you do big enough wood the 2" lip just gets bent up. I do like the extra wide table. It is 41 inches wide.

Sam - How does one get a 41" round up onto the SS?

Saw/Noodle in half/strips and then two person lift so it lays flat on beam. Biggest pin oak I have ever seen. Was a reject from a wood mill at Western Kentucky GTG.

44 inch bar on 3120

O.K. - Good helpers you have there!

I think he means about 20" on each side since the table catches the outer split on the far side. If you make it any wider it becomes tiresome after awhile to lean over while working. I've seen instances where the table top is somewhat flat V-shaped to help trap the stock. That's why I added outer lips. They work.

Why would anyone want to get a 41" round up on a SS?

 

[sunfish]

Nice work, Sam!

Because you can

Sam - With your fabrication skill, any thought of a log loader for the SS ?

Hydraulic motorcycle jack? A bit pricey, but I have seen them in action here and there. A few modifications to hold the big log is about all that it needs.

One that cuts and stages the cut wood. Where the cut wood rolls out like a pop can despenser?

Nobody seems to believe me but UHMWPE on the table is the ducks nuts for re-splits.

How do you fasten it to the table and what does it look like? Any Pics?

 

[KiwiBro]

Self-tapping screws, but only around the beam edge where splinters could be jammed under or force against, the leading edge of the plastic. The rest is allowed to expand and contract at a different rate to the metal substrate. Next time I am around the splitter with a camera I'll get a few photos.

No, I was thinking more like what I made for my standard type splitter - But, it occured to me later there's no hydraulics on the SS to tap into.

A large work table( 6x6 wood posts as legs-leaning slightly toward user) with a FEL to load it to elevated height is the best use of a SS.

I thought about a copy of the log rite processor with super split. But couldn't build it in a day like I did the current table.

 

[Mike Van]

Now I see this other company 'Split Second' makes the same kind of splitter, and makes a manual mechanical lift for it.

One helluva fabrication and build Doug...very nice!! Two thumbs up atcha!!
