ABSTRACT:
A method of splitting a log, in that the log (B) is squeezed at its ends, but in such a way as to be able to pivot to get the axis of its core, i.e. its longitudinal gravity axis, into a horizontal position by means of sets of two jaws, and then split into four, eight or twelve quarters, along the wood grain and with its medullar rays, under the action of two opposite pairs of splitting tools (10, 13) adapted to be able to rotate when undergoing the thrust of respective control cylinder (12, 15); one pair of tools (10) lies in a nearly vertical plane and acts upon one end of the log for its initial splitting into four, the other pair (13) lying in a nearly horizontal plane and acting upon the other end of the log, the splitting of the latter into eight or twelve quarters being achieved through giving the plane of this pair of tools a chosen inclination, the pairs of tools being always adjusted perpendicularly to one another.
