ABSTRACT:
A log splitting machine having a disk-like blade rotatable about an axis and able to split a log in a single 360.degree. rotation about said axis. The blade has two parts, each of which performs a different function. The first part of the blade has a spiral-shaped cutting edge designed to sufficiently penetrate into an end of a log to be split so as to form a lengthwise crack in the log. The second part of the blade has a widening edge designed to separate the log into two pieces along the lengthwise crack with further rotation of the blade. The log splitting machine also includes: an adjustable backstop for accommodating logs of different length; a frame for supporting the blade, log and adjustable backstop; an electric motor for powering the blade through a 360.degree. rotation; and a hood covering the blade and motor, and a deadman control switch for increased operator safety.
