[QUOTE="blades, post: 3857460, member: 30823"] Ken it depends a bit on what you will be splitting the most of . Stringy stuff like elm, some hickory you are better off with a long narrow wedge and the a small spreader behind it. If you make the front side to short and a wide spreader in behind pieces will sometimes tend to explode off the unit. I run an 8" long wedge with a about 2.5" spreader behind it ( piece of 1/4" wall 2" sq. tube set at 45' to the wedge) been working fine on everything. It also lets me shear right through knots and twisted stuff. Note that my wedge is on the end of the beam , foot plate on cylinder. ( used to be v/h but I all most never used the vertical) [/QUOTE]
