Great video! I busted out laughing when you said this is where Home Depot gets their lumber from,I know exactly what you are saying, you never know what you are going to get!
I like that 7 way!
I have to say I am very impressed with how easily you moved the various wedges. I have an Eastonmade 22-28 and I know that the four-way wedge is quite heavy.
Never realized that you had more than one box wedge I must have missed that episode
I know a lot of people complain about the 'waste' that box wedges make, but, a lot of that can be sorted through, collected, and is big enough to burn in a shop wood stove if the owner has one.
Very much agree
That's a heck of a splitter
Great video we needed that!!! Still sold on the axis more precise like I said before its what fits your needs!!!
I ordered the 7 way Gerry thought it would be best for campfire wood....can't wait for mine to come. Great video Andrew..
I was having some trouble counting the five and the seven but with your help I managed it.
Thanks again for the video. Great comparison. It really showed the difference with the wood stacked side by side. It'd be interesting to see how much changing the box wedge height changes the final product. It certainly gives a guy food for thought. Great to have options!
Andrew, I don’t care what wedge option you give me, just put one in my wood yard!!!
hi Andrew fantastic vid. the seven way makes nice looking fire wood. keep up the vids look forward to the next one. and thanks to god we do not have snow in south England.
I'm not a big fan of the snow myself!!! thanks for the feedback and support richard
Thanks for sharing the comparison between the two. I feel like the 5 way would be a good fit for my small operation that I am looking to grow. I run out of split wood every season and need to split faster.
*THANK YOU ANDREW FOR THIS DEMONSTRATION! OUTSTANDING EXPLANATION!
Hope it helps some people out. Really appreciate the support.
Great video and that motor did run pretty smooth👍🏻. Keep the videos coming thanks
I absolutely love your product
Thanks robert. Really appreciate the support
Great job on the explanation between the two. Down here in Alabama I would be leaning toward the 7 way for sure. Appreciate the info take care brother.
So many options to suit someone's needs. Thanks for the demo and showing the differences. Cheers mate!
Thanks for the feedback and support gord. Hope it helps some people out
My back wishes I had one of those 40 years ago
For the wood product I want to make, I'd need a custom sized box wedge. I'd be looking at a 2.75-3in split size. The 2.5in pizza wedge is just a little bit too small. Will have to see how well a test batch of small split wood for backyard smoker customers sells first before I go looking harder into a different splitter. Preferably a companion splitter so can leave one machine setup for normal firewood and another for bundle/bbq firewood.
Nice video Andrew. I love the 7 way box wedge. My customers like the size of it because it is easier to handle.
Thanks for the feedback and support Karl. Always great to hear from you
Absolutely the video to watch when deciding which box wedge to get. I put my order in for a 12-22 with a 7 way box wedge to be attached and bought the tall 4 way to handle knotted pieces as well. I'm very much looking forward to getting my machine. The wait seems very worth it cause this is built like a tank. This will take my small firewood business to new levels!! I'm very excited!! Thank you for posting this video!
What was the cost for the 7way?
Great video!
truly would like to have one of your splitters I =split for home use for the most part. Great video you put out
Can’t wait until I can have 1 of these splitters in my yard. Only 100 more cords and I might be there. Love the machines keep it up Andrew 👍
Thanks for the feedback and support. really appreciate it. let us know when you're ready
Any option would beat my splitting maul.
Some day I'll have a Eastonmade in my garage!
Home Depot lumber, ha ha! I’ve sorted through stacks to get a few good pieces.
Like the 5 way box wedge, have a hungry boiler!
Thanks for the feedback and support steve. Really appreciate it.
Looks like for my wood stove in the house, the 7 way would work best. I cut similar sizes with my TW-P1. One day, I do hope to upgrade to a 5-11. My back will probably thank me for it.
Being in the south definitely the 8-way, we’re more of the fire bugs wanting to put sticks on the fireplace/campfire then trying to keep warm.
Seriously contemplating getting into it and this sells it more and each video 👍🏻
Best way to start a vid 💪🏽
I am currently saving for a Easton made splitter!!
Let us know when you're ready Aaron!!! Really appreciate the support
I ordered my 22-28 today! Looking forward to working with you.
You're gonna love it.
Lol the Home Depot joke love it. Facts lol. Are you planning on doing a pizza wedge video. Something I might be interested in for our restaurant clients. Thanx
here's a video that we have done jeff. czcams.com/video/eGVhFDjSCoQ/video.html
Liking the 5 way the best, but the axes is more my type.
Nice video Andrew.
Different strokes for different folks. It would be a pretty boring spot if we all liked the same things. Really appreciate all the support steven.
Very true Andrew.
Great product!!! It takes you 20 seconds to do a big log compared to my 5 to 10 minutes. Crazy!
I’d like to know some pricing for the box wedge machines. Keep the videos coming.
Great video you Gotta love them Canadians keep up the good work.
Thanks for the feedback and support. Really appreciate.
Andrew,
I think you've just made a new customer! We have 4 units right now, the smallest being a 34 ton rig- how do your rigs work with eucalyptus wood? That is our main concern, as it is so very tough to split. So far, the eucalyptus has bent every machine we've bought, (quite literally) but the wood is a great seller here in northern Arizona. At the moment, I'm conflicted between the rig you displayed here and the Axis... BOTH are equally impressive. What is the expected delivery time from the time we order? Thanks for all the videos, It's great seeing the owner of a company out doing the demonstrations and operation- it shows you have the faith in your equipment, and you're not afraid to get out there and USE your product. DB
FYI, I was introduced to your brand through Joe's firewood channel on CZcams.
Ever since your video on how to order a splitter I’ve been trying to get through to Gerry- left call back numbers twice- must be really busy. Will keep trying- 5-11. Ok The box wedge systems really moan and groan under those loads. Good stuff
Feel free to email marc and ill give you a call or make sure gerry does. The phone doesn't stop here andrew@eastonmadewoodsplitters.com
That was quite the wrestling match you had with that last gnarly firewood round putting it through the box wedge. I am sure that pizza wedge would do great with rather straight grain firewood rounds.
Straight wood does help. appreciate all the support.
They say, money don’t grow on trees, but it seems like with that 7-way wedge you could really make some money. Really love the quality of your machines. Could watch you work all day, but that wouldn’t make me any money. If I still lived in New England, I’d ask about an outside sales position. Don’t know how anyone would buy/sell a box wedge without the return arm.
Thanks for the feedback and support bill!!!
Great video Andrew aJust a thought in the future videos could you tell us what machine you are using in the video ? it is / hard to tell the diff between the 12-22 /14-22 and the 22-28/ 23-28 I loved the comment this is the kind of log home depot makes there lumber out of LMBO the machine seemed to have no trouble with any of the blocks even the one from home depot
I was thinking that to tim. It is hard to see from the angles I was using. Really appreciate the support.
I like your new video today you did a really good jop this was a lot off wood you did today buddy good jop today buddy
I wish I could afford one of these log splitters. I was in a bad car accident and my back got destroyed, this would save me bending over so much. Very nice design 👍
Thanks for another great video Andrew good demonstration between 5 and the 7 way I like with the box weg how it’s pretty much hands free 👍👍
The box wedges save a lot of work. Thanks for the feedback and support!!!
I own a tree service. We are currently on your list for a 22-28 with 5 way box wedge. We deal with less than perfect grained urban wood mostly. I like the 7 way final product a little better. If I switch to a 7 way, on the big machine, how much trouble will I have busting that less than perfect wood compared to a 5 way wedge? Thanks!
Shame you didn’t have the 9 way, would really like to get one to try over here
Been using mine all day today, 7 way on the 12-22, just munched timber all day!
Nice video Andrew. 👍👍
lol Thanks for the support Ian. I think we're loading the container on friday!!!
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters cool, be a lot of happy people over here soon
Andrew, have you ever entertained the thought of putting adding a hydraulic winch option to help get the big ones to the splitter. I put an electric one on mine and it's a big help for those 400LB + logs, especially when they're not exactly round or have knots coming out the side making them hard to roll.
Yep for sure. Just not sure how to incorporate it.
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters, feel free to look at the one I added to mine. It's not perfect but simple and works, and might give you some ideas. It's also on a hinge so it can fold down when needed.
What size splitter were you using on here between the 5 way and 7 way box wedge ?
Great Vid. but when it comes to Eastons Best I'm putting my money on the one that's in the back of your head you haven't built yet. Lad you are one talented Design/Fabricator and I'm a scary judge of talent. God Bless!
Thanks for the feedback and support wes. Really appreciate it.
Is that just mild steel for the wedges?
Like 1018/1020 or is it high carbon or even wearplate like bis alloy or hardox?
Another good informative video, I may consider the box wedge now.
Looking to touch base with you guys to get on the list. You guys must ne swamped with calls. Is there a better time to call, hoping to get on the list asap. Thanx again for the video
We are really busy with calls. Feel free to email me and I can get you looked after andrew@eastonmadewoodsplitters.com
Just sent that email, thank you Andrew
hi there i have tasted all my wood an have as yet never tasted pizza does the bark look like pepperoni . man i keep looking stay worm john
EASTONMADE!!👌🏻🇨🇦
Thanks for all the support Brad. Really Appreciate it.
Can you show the full process of dealing with a knot through this splitter.
Yep I can do that.
SUGGESTION: position the discharge end of the splitter to drop the finished wood EXACTLY where you want to stack it ! That way, all you'd have to do is get on your knees, pick up the wood and, without having to walk a step, place it in the stack
Do the pads on the pull back arm ride metal to metal on the box wedge or are there some plastic type pad to ride on
They are metal on metal. there is no load on them, it floats up and down and side to side.
Andrew how much does the 7 way box wedge cost?
Awesome. Do you have an anything bigger for the regular wedges other than the 6 that would fit the 12-22? Just curious I’m pretty set on a 4 and 6 when the time comes.
No nothing for the 12-22. We have done some 8's before but the wood has to be perfect
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters thanks!
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters I have in mind an alternative knife pattern for the 6-way wedge. It would be the one center vertical knife wiith two parallel horizontal knives.
Then it would cut two ways under the first horizontal knife. It would cut four ways if the block were below the top horizontal knife. It would cut six ways using the full wedge. All of the knives would meet at right angles. It would eliminate the sharp angles of your 6-way. It would give the operator better split choices for better splits.
I have no experience; I was only looking at some videos. You might say to just put in a 4-way or 2-way if you want a 4-way or 2-way split, but that is not as convenient as pushing on the wedge lift lever. It would be a three-in-one type of deal, eliminating the need for so many wedges in the hands of the customer. It may increase the number you offer for sale or replace your current 6-way.
The maximum force required to push the block through may be reduced. The wood will not have the sharp-angled cuts on it. I don't know if sharp-angled wood is good or not. If all of the cutting-edges contact the block at the same time, that would not be good.
I like the 7-way box wedge for the larger rounds (14 inches diameter). Would you build a 6-way wedge for me as specified above if I bought one of your larger splitters? I wouldn't care if you wore the paint off of it by testing it.
For the dimensions on the knives, I suppose design it for an eleven inch round, and the height could be adjusted for rounds of other sizes. I suspect the design I described here would work better on oversized rounds than the 6-way you now sell.
👍👍👍
How small will a 9 - way make the wood? Live in Denmark and our fireplaces is small?
i have my neighbor that is having problems with your 37 hp box wedge on large Ash tree rounds . the wedge came back at him not good .. do they need to be frozen or what . lack of experience.. i know he will keep on trying . Jody A.
I'm a little late but is a 6 way wedge possible?
Kind of a happy medium between the 5 and 7 size? Just wondering..
Totally thinking of getting this within the next year
No...a 6 way wouldnt work out to even pieces
I may have missed it, but which machine are you using with the 7 way box wedge?
You can get the 7 way on any of the machines. In this video we are running a 12-22
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters thank you. Hoping my 12-22 is still on track for a March delivery.
Will the 12 22 run a 7 way wedge ok ?
"that Home Depot gets their lumber out of"
if I had the money, I'd buy this splitter with the 5-way....just for that brilliant comment/joke.
Andrew I have a off the wall question for ya how high off the ground does the aluminum catch pan stand.
Around 20" when its level. it can be adjusted up or down with the jack
Thanks keep up the great videos👍
My 12-22 will be ready within One month. Will I need a box wedge for sale of wood to wood stoves. Some like the wood to be a little larger How much more does it cost for a box wedge ? Thank you
Either box wedge is $800. the biggest advantage of the box wedge is that it makes the big rounds a lot easier to handle.
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters how much in advance do I need to tell Gerry for the larger pieces
@@paullandry8301 Couple of weeks would be helpful, but we can accommodate at any time.
Wondering if it's possible to design a 12× box by removing the pullback arm and installing flanges (if that's what they are called) on the top as well.
Edit: of course the large rounds would be impractical for such a 12× I think
Eastonmade now has a 12 way for the biggest splitter they have. There is a video.
How do these multi wedges cope with species that have collars of knots like big inch spruce?
They hold up really well. The wood just isn't quite as pretty
Will it push a 30" round of oak or hickory through the 5 way?
Yep....best to avoid knots or work around them
I went on the site to price it but I don’t see it there?
I live in Wisconsin, I doubt there would be an issue with the unit/22/28 But who would service it if there was?
In the event that there is an issue we would send you down the parts. Normally just need picture or a description. If you are not comfortable doing the repair on your own you can send it to a repair shop and we will cover the cost within reason.
Will the 7 way make more splintered wood? Is the 7 way just a little bit slower?
really depends on the size of the rounds. It is a little slower in tougher stuff, but not much.
We have order a splitter. How far out are we? Do you have any conveyors for sale?
When you have a Pizza Wedge on hand can you show us just how much smaller the wood is split on it? Thanks in Advance.
here's the link for the video czcams.com/video/eGVhFDjSCoQ/video.html
The 7 way is 3 1/2 inches between wedges and the 5 way is 5 inches between wedges?
Yes that is correct
Do you export to New Zealand?
Nice kindling machine...maybe fast but unless you sell kindling there is a ton of waste there
What length of firewood is most common?
Normally 16 1/2"
Hola soy panama 🇵🇦 donde vendes estas máquina
Love my boxwedge. Makes great consistent wood. It is by far the best wedge to have for the big rounds. I would argue even if you have a 12 way and you are splitting a 20 inch round you may be able to get it to go with one pass if everything is perfect with the log but I don't think that the consistently is there. Just my 2 cents.
I think it is a toss up between a box wedge and the Axis vertical splitter when it comes to the big rounds. Go check out Buckin' Billy Ray run his Axis on the big gnarly wood they have there, or Adam at Hometown Acres use his Axis with the tree service firewood rounds he gets quite often.
@@bwillan I have a Axis on order. I have a 22-28 with a boxwedg. I guarantee the 22-28 will out produce the Axis. I got the Axis for more bundle wood, campfire wood, cook/smoking wood and kindling. I can't wait to get it and try it out.
Do you have any dealers in western pennsylvania?
no we only sell direct
Where were these things 30 years ago
at my house started in 72 john
@@fricknjeep Man this would have save many broken fingers strained backs and lots of naughty words!
Kind of a nit-picky question, but how many inches tall will the splits be on the 7-way with the box wedge adjusted all the way up?
Between 5 and 6" raised all the way up
Is there a difference in price between 5 + 7 way wedge for the 22-28
No we charge the same for them

Great to hear from you Dennis. We can do the box wedge but it won't have a pull back arm.
Hi guys can we get ur splitters in 🇬🇧?
Yes get in touch with Ian gregory at www.logsandsaws.co.uk
Why not call the 5 way, a 4 way,…the 7 way, a 6 way? I know you include the piece on top. That piece is never included in the split on the box wedges. That’s why I’m asking why the number can’t be the actual number of splits below.
Andrew how much does the 7 way box wedge cost?
