Previously, I have cut it to 50cm, the splitter was usually relatively easily pass. Segment-wise columns is fine, thicker stems can easily be cleaved by a 180 ° rotation on both sides .. The supplied splitting wedge is ideal for thinner trunks that you simply just have four parts. I especially like that the splitter is powered by 230V. 400V connections can not be found, unfortunately, in every home. Another advantage, which is accelerating the work, that the stroke can be adjusted to the required length and you have to drive not always full working length. From my side a clear recommendation for the log splitter of steel man. There are these splitters probably still with an undercarriage - I for one have him simply placed on pallets - so the splitter was at a comfortable working height and it was a breeze and back gently. I will update as soon as I have further processed wood.
