Hi there everyone. I've been gathering the structural steel to make a log splitter and am getting ready to start putting it together. I've been looking at the 4.5x24 Splitter Kit (item #1147-1806) from Northern Tool & Equipment. My question is for anyone who may have a Northern log splitter or bought this type of splitter kit. I need to know how wide (and if it is adjustable) the beam slide is on these particular brands.
I was going to use a 4x4x3/8 structural steel tube instead of the typical I beam. If i'm going to buy the splitter kit from NT&E, i will have to weld a plate to the tube so the wedge can slide.
I'm new to this site, and any guidance to recent log/wood splitter projects or photos or website for supplies would be helpful and much appreciated.
Thanks to all in advance for your help.
