can't it go any faster?

no, that's a good thing you've made

[Stubby]

Superbly engineered , neat welds , proper paint work , you must be proud . I have seen slower ones . Good stuff !

[scraggs]

That's an impressive piece of kit and workmanship.

Nice work, when are you making the conveyor?

 

The bloke on the blue shirt is going to mutiny on you if it isn't soon

[Justme]

Nice solid bit of kit.

 

I would have had it galved after going to all that work.

 

Re its speed.

 

It looks like the slowness is down to the operator.

 

A better op would up speed 50% easily.

 

A few mods could double output.

 

This is what is slowing it down:-

Pulling the holding bar all the way back every time, pulling the saw all the way back every time. Most of the time using one hand on the controls or only using one at a time when two are on the controls.

 

Mods I would make are:-

 

Fit a foot pedal or elbow pad to a handle for the splitter ram with auto return.

Join the holder & cutter bar controls so that they work together with the holder just ahead of the cutter bar. Fit auto return on release of control.

Fit a variable stop to both so you can set it for how far off each goes goes.

 

Then operation is reduced to:-

hand control move log in poss with auto stop for length

hand activate holder & cutter with hand control on speed of cut

foot activate ram

auto return of holder & cutter

auto return of ram

hand control feeder for next cut length till auto stop

[Breezeblock]

looks like top job theres a fair bit of engineering in that well done

Good work

How many man hours did it take to build?

[Steve Bullman]

Quite a big drop from the cutting deck to the splitting bay, yet all the logs seems to dropping and landing right for splitting. Has the video been cut or is there some clever wizadry in the design thats aiding this?
