i was thinking a nice big round of green elm might slow it down too.
I mean the thing works but it would not be worth the risk to me.

Probably won't see one like that on sale any time soon.
OSHA may have them add a few safeties & guards.

At least this one hit the round on the end grain.Gary_602z said:
Safer??, well, I'll stick to my Speeco
Hopefully the weld on the splitting head doesn't eventually weaken or fail suddenly. The head could fly off the wheel and come right at the operator.
That similar to another one that uses a bigger wheel running slower rpms but probably same surface speed.

I can truthfully say that those scare the bejesus out of me. I wouldn'g go within a hundred feet of those death wheels.

I'm not interested in anything like these two big wheel splitters. I'll stick with my SpeeCo too!!
