Making kindling in a full size firewood processor...


Recommended Posts

Posted

Has anyone ever made a kindling knife for a full sized processor, does anyone know?

 

Something like how the old manual potato chipper works:

I suppose the problem would be making a grid small enough to make kindling that was also strong enough to withstand the splitter ram on the processor.

 

How about 2 sets of parallel knives, one behind the other, one set vertical and the other set horizontal?

 

Or perhaps just one set of knives (vertical or horizontal) and run the product through it twice?

 

 

I've been getting enquiries for kindling and am wondering if I can do it using equipment already on hand :biggrin:

we looked at doing something like this but instead we have started building a standalone kindling machine that uses a tee off our splitter for power it is far less problematic than trying to get chip cutter types to work you need so much more force
