Here is one I haven't seen before. Looks like it works well...

You'd want to be darned sure they were bucked square loading a bunch at a time like that!
 
Nice. Custom, or commercial? I see no maker's mark.
 
How do ya get the LAST log out ? Looks like the setup requires "the next" round to push out the previous one.

Hmmm...dunno. Would you really NEED to get the last one out?
 
Looks great for nice symetrical rounds, my scrounged wood usually doesn't look like that. I like it.
 
Mine either, but if the unit had enough power behind it, it wouldn't matter. If it didn't split it could cut it, but that would take gobs of power for a multi-way wedge.
 
The wedge is adjustable. I would suggest an adjustable 4 way, 6 way and single option. Maybe a rotary barrel design.
 
Not sure what happened Jags, but no picture showing now.

Its a video using a flash player. If you don't have adobe flash player or some such software on your PC it won't show up for you.
 
I do have it and have never had a problem before on any videos on here. Not sure why it does not show up. The only thing I see on my screen is:

"Here is one I haven't seen before. Looks like it works well..." then a bunch of white space.
 
Hmmm...dunno, Dennis. It is possible that they took the link down and it is just in my cached memory. Anybody else just coming on board to this post please let me know if you can/can't see it.

For the record - I am running adobe flash 12.0
 
See it fine here. I want one.
 
Its like 1/2 of the Chomper. Still somewhat labor intensive.

In other videos they show setup. I thinks it run on air but I don't speak German. Can easily adjust the ram to wedge distance, seems slick.

Never seen that one either. It appears that it might be a pneumatic over mechanical (possibly screw drive).

The chomper is appropriately named, wood looks like its been chewed.
 
Def. NOT a pneumatic cylinder, guys. A pneumatic cylinder will stop when it sees load, build pressure, and then let fly at high velocity when load is overcome. The only way it's pneumatic is if it's a pneumatic motor driving a screw, and I doubt it's that. No way that's a pneumatic cylinder.
