Before someone tells me to use the search feature i have. "electric splitter" returns maybe 14 or so threads 2 that are from end of 2011 first of this year. I get that there slower than a gas splitter and cant split super large stuff unless you hit the edges. Also that you need 2 hands for most of them. Also that the Ryobi and Homelite are decent for the money.
But if i can get away with spending $350 for a splitter which will split 80% of hat i have that will be great!
Im looking for those with real wold experience with hardwoods. I want to be able to split sweetgum up to say 14"s but i understand with electric this may not be possible. Can i split 12" ELM? I have some. Mostly i split oak, Quercus Alba or white oak and post oak which is also a white oak. And i also split red oak, real Q. velutina as well as the water oak and willow oak. Just wondering if these will easily split 16" oak without trouble.
