New Superaxe log splitters have a different design. The blade goes up and down with both hands needed to press a bar to release the valve to push the blade down. However having a foot release is kind of cooler.
The biggest difference between this and a horizontal splitter can be in not having to lift these blocks into place, and also what was available in his goodie pile. The scary side of this machine is that the cylinder is actuated by a foot valve. As long as no one reaches over the top.........! The flat table allows the slabbing around the perimeter, rather than going through the middle of a big block and lifting them a second or third time to resplit them.
A hydraulic cylinder that pushes a wedge through the log. In some ways that is what this design does but the way I see it this design has a draw back. Primarily it comes into the block at an angle rather than straight into it. That will result in challenges with knotty wood or fibrous wood like elm. The other thing is you have to adjust this splitters settings depending on the size of the block. A conventional splitter can spit a 5 inch block or a 30 inch block without any adjustments. An axe is also conventional and the device shown here is better than that. I do applaud the creativity shown in this device. No advances are made without innovation.

Great Job, Splitting Hardwood to,,,,, EASY.
I wonder if it would work smashing soda cans?
Yet ANOTHER priceless european invention that makes their life easier 👍👀🤙🇺🇸
It's actually designed and made in Australia. Good for the tough, gnarly, cross-grained, reluctant-to-split hardwood like this Redgum.👍🇦🇺🌝🦘
Another interesting way to split wood. Works well. Only problem is the wedge doesn't go right to the bottom which is not good for stringy type wood
Richard Dreckow Yes it does, they must have been stopping it early the first log. Check it out at the 1:35 mark
Some people are just born dumb ... clearly see it near the end going all the way down the log
There appears to be a small chance of personal injury while operating the Super Axe. on multiple areas.
Nice stuff mate. This thing has got balls.
How is this better than a conventional wood splitter?
Bill Astell its home made and not store bought. But thats just me
One isn't necessarily better than another, just different to meet the needs of the user.

@@dustyfarmer cool thanks for the info
nice setup
Красное дерево на дрова
what about a huge V shaped blade, instead?
Wow, cool idea!
The pivot pin is turning in the frame channel - no bushings?
its not moving anywhere fast it dont need them. steel on steel is sufficient in this application
Grease the hell out if it, it should be ok.
Questa legna sembra di ricotta 😅
супер колун!!!
I want one!
I think that is called iron wood it's a super hard wood to split
Nick Tuttle it’s red gum
aussie Redgum mate
What kinda wood is that
Australian hardwood, River Redgum. Also alot like Australian Redbox. Burns very hot & a long time in the fireplace'
You’re doing it wrong
