Here are a few more pics of my splitter. Last summer I had a ton of cherry to split. On one of the larger nasty logs the wedge decided to follow the wood grain.
I gave Northern tool a call and I talked to a very nice lady in customer service. She told me to get the model, serial # and rev. letter the wedge assembly and call her back, she said that they had one left in stock and were open for 2 more hours. So I drove a couple miles back to where I was cutting, ran out in the woods in the pouring rain to get the necessary info. I then called back and got the "please call back during business hours message." So I called back the very next morning eager to get my new wedge on its way. I got the not so nice lady who ultimately told me that they had none in stock and they were on back order.
With this news, some heat and mechanical advantage I bent the wedge back so I could continue along with production. The new wedge assembly showed up a couple months later and it still sitting in the corner of the shed.
