Vertical or horizontal ??

[Andymacp]

I'm away to attach my ram and I beam to my converted chipper to make a splitter. I'm not sure whether to go horizontal or vertical.

I'd appreciate the knowledge of more experienced guys please.

Thanks

Vertical, once it's on the plate, you just turn it, no picking back up or lifting.

Horizontal as it sits better and doesn't fall over

Cut the logs level and it won't fall over!

Vertical for big rings, horizontal for anything up to 15" diameter or so.

I have both and that is my conclusion.

Depends on the operation and table size.

Vertical if you are clamping the log or have a hand free to steady it. Also faster on bigger rings.

1 day a week, one man operation and I'll be mainly doing big rings.

Horizontal with a log lift. Thats what i do. Easy. No lifting or hard manual labour. Get up on the stack, kick it on, and if you make it right, use the lift as a log bed.

Proper job. Put some rings through a while ago, well over 2 foot diameter.

We have both and use vertical one for rings or resplitting chunky billets that went through the 4 way on the horizontal.

 

If you do rings on a horizontal, have to keep retrieving log from behind knife. Unless got a 24 way knife.

As you can see I went with vertical.

Just the pipes to connect now.
