    Eastonmade Wood Splitter

    If you look back a couple of posts you will be able to read why we switched the material for the wings and why we chose the material that we did in the first place. As you have just stated there is absolutley no point in me sending you down what you already have. This is why i found a...

    Its was 6 weeks from the time you informed me of problems to the time you started this. (This can be seen in the correspondence i have posted) In that time you expressed interest in getting it repaired locally (you were asking about materials) I assumed you had as I hadnt heard back from you in...

    H beams are never perfectly flat. As the phenolic wears into the beam the bolts are no longer as tight as they were when initially installed. We typically have 3 threads protruding past the nut. Which is common practice. We always ensure the bolt is through the nut enough to be past the lock

    All the pusher bolts use a stover nut (lock nut) Im not referring to internal bushing in the cylinder. We dont run pivots on both ends of the cylinders. If there is a pivot on the pusher (like every other manufacturer) then there is a Really good chance to have the pusher pivot and cause this...

    The The cylinder is set low to prevent any extra leverage on the beam. Just like putting a bar on a ratchet. However if the pusher bolts arent maintained it allows a lot more movement in that assembly We run a huge rod in the cylinder. If there is any flex in the pusher the hub should put...

    Where is the communication from september about a defective wedge? This was october 31st. The wedge wings being bent does not affect the operation of the machine. It will indeed still split wood. At this same time (oct 31st) you sent pictures of everything else. You also said that 50% of the...

    You offered this to me at a cost of $32000. We have tried alternatives. I have a tremendous amount of experience in the design and fabrication of this equipment. UHMW (teflon) is far to soft and doesn't last at all even under normal conditions, Rollers dont work because they seize. The only...

    October 31st you send me pictures of what has happened to the wedge. I told you I can get you down and updated replacement. Not quite sure why you would assume that I would send you wings and not an entire wedge. I wouldn't ever expect a customer to weld on wings unless they recommended it or...

    We completely redisigned the machine to accomodate him. Built an entire fabricated beam. He did not want it.

    The first couple of machines we built we used UHMW (teflon) they didnt last very long at all. They just arent stiff enough for this application

    I have offered to fix this bryan. As can easily be seen in our emails and other conversations. You declined my help. I'm not quite sure what to say or do to make you happy.

    I don't know what else I could do other than reply promptly and offer a viable reasonable solution at no cost. I have only seen this a handful of times in very very very extreme cases. Every other time we have paid to have it straightened and a lesson was learned. I wanted to do better for...

    Here are all the emails and text messages we have had back and forth bryan. I have always been prompt to reply to you and try to satisfy your needs (even on evenings and weekends) And I continue to try and work with you (clearly). These splitters are meant to split wood with the grain. The...

    Bryan, I have offered several times to repair your machine. I have assisted you on evenings and weekends. I have offered you full replacement cost on a larger unit. I have offered you a full update and replacement on the failed parts. All of which you have refused. Not quite sure what i...

    5 hours at the woodpile

    Heres a link to a live video we did with the 22-28. With the wood stacked up its about 7 minutes a face cord....most of the blocks were under 12". You could cut that down a lot in bigger wood. Thanks for the mention waltzie. It is very much appreciated.

    33". I am 6'2 also. I find it comfortable. The log cradle is a roughly the height of my fingertips if I stand straight with my arms at my side. You can make it a little higher by moving the jack leg up a notch or 2.

    Eastonmade Wood Splitter

    Hi Guys, A lot of it comes down to the design of the machine and the wedge. We run the 4" cylinder at 3000 psi. The wedges are an inch wide at the widest point so it doesnt try and pull the wood apart. The other wings are also staggered so they arent all trying to split at the same time...
