About screw cone log splitter

What is a cone wood splitter?

A cone wood splitter is popular because it is easy to operate for different types of wood and it is highly efficient. It is a tool used to split wood. It functions by using a plunger to force a piece of wood into a splitting wedge. The plunger moves the wood through the wedge to cut the piece in half. Some wood splitter machines come with an adjustable size feature so users can choose how wide or narrow the wood is before cutting.

What does a screw cone log splitter look like?

A screw cone log splitter looks like a giant-sized screw and it is a subcategory of a cone log splitter. The blade has a cone shape; its tip is pointed and it screws into the log until the wood piece is split in half. Screw-style log splitters are easier to maneuver than other types of wood splitters because they have more torque.
