My son and I are building a splitter with 4 way and we were discussing where to mount the horizontal wing. We have a 20" vertical wedge with 6" of travel. (Lowest position 14" exposed, highest 20")
The splitter is designed to be part of a future processor and is self centering with a max width of 24".
Initially we were going to mount the wing at the bottom of the lowest setting (14" exposure) so it could be lowered out of the way and be lifted up to 6" off the bottom. Wing Range 0" to 6". Now we're thinking to mount the wing 8" below the top. That would give us a range from 6" to 12" for the wing. For small logs (single split) we would lift it up and split under it as opposed to lowering and splitting over.
Pictures attached. The wing will be set back 1" from the vertical, not ahead of the vertical where I rested it for the picture.
Thoughts?
