ABSTRACT:
The assembly comprises a plurality of blades that can be positioned by sliding the blades over the vertical head of the splitter. The vertical head has a series of support ribs that will allow positioning the blades a various heights on the head and have a forward tilt to the blades. The blades project outward from the head and contact the wood first. The blades are designed to provide a plurality of contact points that have a small area of contact with the wood. This results in minimum resistance to the blades entering the wood. The blades have a number of flaring ribs on the blades to increase the splitting force of the woodsplitter. A collar on the blades around the slot that the vertical head slides through forces the wood being split away from the head itself. The rear edge of the blades rest upon support platforms to maintain the angle of the blades. The leading edge of the blades will rise upward as the wood being split pressed forward, but will return to their original position after the wood passes by.
