    I doubt it. I have special way of handling that class of people that usually leaves them mumbling and stuttering at a loss for words

    That is just pure dangerous! The height alone makes it dangerous. All it takes is just one wrong hit and a piece of that wood will go flying right into his head!

    I would think it could turn much slower and still do the job

    Used a similar machine. Worked great. Didn't feel as though it was too risky. I wouldn't wear Crocs and short pants though. This video is sped up.

    If I needed a splitter I'd love to have one of these.

    If you can't make it precise make it adjustable.

    Yeah wouldn't we all! But why didn't they make the cutting heads large enough to do the whole log all at once? For $9900 I can buy all the cord word I'll need for the next 20 years (or more), and not have to do the work either! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...s-in-the-world

    I don't like the idea of spitting out both sides but I guess if you don't have a conveyor to stack wood into a trailer it does mean you do not have to move as often. By taking 4'' only it allowa a much less powerful splitter so much faster cycle time with given hp.

    A 2 handed swing with a 3 or 4 lb shop hammer? OoooK! I guess but I bet she will want to borrow a pair of steel toe boots before trying that again.
