  • Apparatus for measuring, cutting and splitting logs
    Patent number: 4286638
    Abstract: A machine for cutting a log into a succession of pieces of predetermined length at a cutting station, moving the cut piece to a first splitting station, splitting said first cut piece at said first splitting station while the next piece is being cut at the cutting station, moving the said next piece to a second splitting station, splitting the said next piece at said second splitting station while a third piece is being cut at the cutting station, moving the said third piece to said first splitting station, and splitting the third piece at said first splitting station while a fourth piece is being cut and so on. The production of split wood is thus substantially increased by the use of two splitters combined with means for moving the successively cut pieces alternately to the splitters.
