Log splitter, foot operated

[s.varty]

A mate of mine has converted his vertical splitter to foot operation, looks good and I might do the same to mine, any thoughts apart from the safety element?

Mind your fingers

 

That's the only drawback I can think of , especially after a few hours and you loose concentration, easy done.

Keep an eye on your own then

[Stubby]

A lot of power presses are foot operated but before the press bangs down the operator has to pull down a guard with a safety interlock . If you wanted it to be a complete pain in the arse but be sure you or anyone else kept their digits you could fit one . Personality I would not but hey ho .....

That's yet to be seen as he hasn't used it yet. Everything about it says faster
