Sharpening the
Splitting Wedge
During the life of your log splitter, you will need
to sharpen the splitting wedge periodically. When
sharpening the wedge, keep in mind that if you try
and keep the wedge sharpened to a razor point
(like an axe blade), you will greatly reduce the life
of the wedge by always sharpening it. However,
if you allow the point to become very dull or
bullnosed, your log splitter will have to overwork
to split logs, which will decrease the lifespan of
the splitter. The optimum point is somewhere
between. Refer to
Figure 25
for a general idea.
