Tempest splitter

It would be easy enough to build similar, but I like the amount of wood produced in a short period of time, good kit.

Hey sorry everyone i been of line for a while, i didnt think there would be as much interest in it thanks. The ram that i used is off a shear grab and the blade faces are actually the edges for a shear grab a as well i live beside Flemming agri so i was able to get them pretty easily. But ive started building a mark II model with two rams in a push/pull configeration then there should be the exact same force/speed in both directions. If anyone is genuinely intersted i could sell this one if someone wanted it?

Hi David,

 

I'm really interested in how it went with your second build. I'm in the planning stages of building something similar. So far I have acquired the cylinders and I am taking a crash course in Fusion 360 CAD software. ?

 

If someone else has built a similar machine I'm all ears to hear and see what you achieved!

 

Cheers Ed
