ABSTRACT:
A log splitter includes a base having a splitting device at one end and a ram movable along the rail for splitting logs by forcing their faces against the splitting device. The splitting device combines a splitting wedge and a penetrating device which extends forwardly from the splitting wedge for initial penetration of the face of the log, having a penetrating edge parallel to and in front of the cutting edge and located proximate the rail with height less than the cutting edge. The penetrating edge initially penetrates the log face at a location near the rail when the ram drives the log toward the splitting device. The penetrating device is itself of wedge-like, prow-configured character having diverging portions extending rearwardly from the penetrating edge on opposite sides of the cutting edge of the splitting edge of the splitting wedge to provide initial partial splitting of the log face near its periphery prior to its being driven against the cutting edge. A reduced depth dorsal extension of the splitting wedge allows splitting of logs having large diameters.
