I've never used one cause I've always split with a sledge and wedges. I just got an X27 so a block is in order. What should the height of the block be for a guy 5'11"
my wood is 18". I am 5'11"
I like the handle of my X27straight out or parallel with the ground when it hits the wood. For me that is two pallets and my wood is 18". I am 5'11"
All the dimensions are the same, I think I'll try that. How long do your pallets last under all the pounding?
I would think pallets under a round would absorb a lot of energy plus have metal in them.
It works good for me. With the tire the blade never hits the pallet, the handle hits the tire first.
Splitting on the ground dulls the blade, in the tire the wood all stays together.
How do you keep from breaking handle with pieces in middle?
I whack the outside rounds first, the I aim for the ones on the inside. The handle usually finds the gaps.It's the height that works best for YOU. I am 6'2 splitting 20 inch splits. So 18 works for me, of course in the tire. Large rds bigger than 20 dia get 1/4 on the ground then in the tire.
