Read that the ms362 is awesome!!!
Does the splitter have a "made in USA" mark as regulated by the federal trade commission?
It's a yes or no question

COO Question was answered to my satisfaction. I'm going to assume (dangerous, I know) that we're smart enough to unpack the following quote:
The UHMW-PE sounds like a great idea with all the back and forth re-splitting on the table. I'm not sure where to buy it locally so I looked online. I found UHMW-PE is not UV stable, but UHMW-IPX 2000 is. Not much difference in price, it is about $165. for 4' x 5' x 3/8" sheet. It comes in thinner stock, but I was thinking countersinking some flat head machine screws and tapping the table or nutting it from be beneath. Good chance of getting junk under it around the wedge area and with screws it would be removable.
Here is a link to a TV segment about the group in Missouri cutting for charity.

Sam-tip, when I read "the group in Missouri", I got to thinking, I really haven't heard of folks on the eastern side of the state active on this site. So for those in that area, say howdy & let us know your are here.

Does anybody have one of these yet? Interested to see if the extra $ over the SS is worth it or not.

I don't have one, but I saw one in action today,
It worked well, easily splitting the oak they had there,
they had one with the cover open, for everyone to see what's inside,
I asked, and was told only the flywheels came from china,
It had the lift on it too,
It looked well made to me, and the guys there were really helpful in answering any and all questions anyone asked...

Looks like the log lift can be pinned in the horizontal position to be used as a staging table. Nice feature. Wonder how full you can fill it before it will want to tip sideways.
Did you get to try using the log lift or see it actually lifting anything?

I did not use the splitter or log lift, I did lean on the lift a bit and I didn't see any signs of tipping.
My first thoughts were, it would be nice if it had more "horizontal" bars across it, so when you roll/throw shorter/smaller rounds onto it, they don't have to land perfectly on the side bars...
I do agree, that having to use both hands to send the ram, is something I didn't like.

Well, you were checking it out, doesn't it look like a piece of wire or bungee cord away from one hand operation?
That's what I was wondering.

Mill 'em, nails be damned.
At least might contribute to justifying the price premium over a rock-solid, proven incumbent.

Why stop there?
Or have you already figured out all the SS owners in here are typing with our noses, having already sacrificed all our fingers and toes at the kinetic alter?

I thought the guys were saying the original supersplit is one handed??
Be that as it may, the chances of me owning or running one are between zero and nyetski, so the point is moot.
I hear what you are saying though, it's a safety feature. Never ran one but seems keeping one hand away from the moving bits isn't that hard, but...never ran a kinetic. I have run about every single other wood alteration device out there, with the exception of a kinetic splitter or a chainsaw mill. Worked in shops that turned raw logs into finished furniture, and some other products, so am familiar with various high production woodworking machines.
To me, the most dangerous normal woodworking tool is a commercial chipper.
We are having a charity cut on October 11th 2014 outside Waukee Iowa. Hope you can make it. Lots of wood and good food. I can't make it to the Farm progress show in Boone Iowa. Hope we can work something out to test drive your new splitter.
Going to get to test drive the Split Second Splitter at the charity cut on October 11th. The design engineers are going to help split some wood and bring two splitters to help split and try.
