I Hit Metal

...with the hydro! Recent splitting session and this stump cut off red maple round had barbed wire and staples in it. I did not cut the log and amazingly the saw didnt hit it. My friend was having some landscaping done and they cut off the stump. Splitter wasnt dulled luckily!

 

Glad you missed it.

 

Splitters are pretty resistant to hitting metal.
As a matter of fact mine has been used as a press brake for forming metal many times.

 

I imagine it works pretty good for that! Nice improvisation there Kieth!

 

Once again, man documents his discovery of iron!!!

 

Barbed wire and chains don’t mix well as most of us know. Glad it wasn’t pics of messed up cutters.

 

Mighta pressed a wheelbearing into a knuckle with the splitter a time or two

 

I’ve used mine for that and to press bearings.

 

I did both front bearings on my daughters old Camry using the splitter. Worked like a charm.

 

I’ve used the ram on mine several times to crush the slip on four way wedge back into shape. Fairly dangerous exercise tho. You won’t find that in the OSHA manual.

 

I've used my splitter for a press a few times as well.

Nice that you found out with the splitter and not the saw buZZsaw BRAD

 

Glad you found it with the splitter...would have been bad with a new chain...

 

Yard trees, you always find something in them. Sometimes with the saw and sometimes with the splitter.

 

It was on the edge of his property by the road. Was an old pasture, farmland i think. House built mid 1970's.

 

Agreed!

 

Maybe I do need a wood splitter

 

They sure do help
