A wood splitter from a flywheel and an engine from a washing machine. How to make a wood splitter with an engine from a washing machine Cleaver from a washing machine engine

Manual splitting of wooden chocks, especially knotty ones, is quite difficult and rather slow. Today, this physically difficult work can be accelerated by shifting to the shoulders of a factory-made mechanical wood splitter. There is just one problem: such a "woodcutter" with a "carrot" costs from 20 thousand rubles.
But the experience of folk craftsmen shows that, even without knowing the turning business, it is possible to make a mechanical cleaver from improvised materials, adapting it to the place, amount of work and anthropometric data.

It will take

In principle, almost all materials and components for assembling a mechanical cleaver can be removed from old machines, household appliances and find it in landfills. But it doesn’t hurt to know how much this or that “thing” costs in the store, how much the engine from the old washer will cost, what the turner will ask for work, etc.
So, what should be stocked up if we decide to make a mechanical cleaver:
  • round rolled steel (round timber);
  • masking tape;
  • sheet metal of different thickness;
  • profile pipe about 14 m;
  • flywheel from GAZ-53;
  • bolts, nuts, washers;
  • motor with pulley and belt;
  • paint and brush;
  • conical screw cleaver-carrot.
Of the tools and equipment, we must have at hand:
  • grinder with discs;
  • plasma cutter;
  • file for metal;
  • welding equipment;
  • vise and clamps;
  • drill with drills.

Production of components and parts of the wood splitter

We fix the round timber in a vice and mark the places of cuts with masking tape for speed and ease of ensuring the desired accuracy.


According to the markings, we cut out the wood splitter shaft blank with the help of a grinder and cutting disc by 180 mm.
We put on the surface of a thick sheet of metal the markings of two disks of different sizes, but with the same central holes.


It is more convenient and accurate to cut them with a plasma cutter, as a result, the amount of post-processing is minimized.
We bring the discs to the desired size with a file and a grinder, and in order not to remove excess metal, we paste exact patterns from adhesive tape or paper on the side surfaces.


When processing disks, we pay the main attention to the central holes: the shaft blank must freely enter them, but the gaps must be minimal.
This operation is one of the most important: we weld a large disk exactly at 90 degrees to the round timber. Therefore, we conduct welding carefully, constantly checking the angle between the parts so that they do not lead, and we use magnetic squares. We clean the welds.
The second ring is easier to install. It is enough to press it tightly and fix it to the first disk with clamps and weld it in this position.



Now the turner will work on the workpiece: he will turn the front support, which is welded to the smaller ring, turn the circular surfaces to size and perform a series of annular grooves for the drive belt.
We cut blanks of the required dimensions and in the required quantity from the profile pipe, from which we weld not just a desktop, but a base for installing mounted units.



Separately, we weld a subframe to the main frame under the tabletop, to which the electric motor will be attached and adjusted.


We cut out with a grinder two symmetrical parts from a metal plate 6 mm thick, which, welded together and fixed on the countertop, will be a kind of blade-emphasis on the wood splitter.


Since the load on our device will constantly change, we cannot do without a flywheel. In our case, the flywheel from the GAZ-53 with an outer diameter of 372 mm, a bore of 40 mm and a weight of almost 16 kg turned out to be the most suitable in terms of size and weight.


We remove the ring gear from this part and clean it of many years of oily dirt using a hammer, a screwdriver and a grinder with nozzles.


We perform static balancing of the shaft and flywheel by screwing them together with bolts and nuts. Due to the lack of a balancing machine, we invent it using only available resources.



To do this, we temporarily place two corners on the table frame in parallel and lightly grab them. Using the level, we provide the maximum possible flatness to the corners and lay the shaft with the flywheel on them.


We give rotation to the flywheel and monitor the moment of stopping. If there is an unbalanced mass on it, then it will roll back a little before stopping. Moreover, the excess mass will be at the lowest point. We mark this place and drill a hole, thereby removing the excess mass.


Balancing will be considered complete when the shaft and flywheel do not roll back before stopping.
For safety, from the remains of the profile pipe and sheet metal we make a protective cover on the flywheel and cook the countertop.



We connect two symmetrical parts to each other at an angle, place a spacer inside and weld the resulting assembly to the countertop.


All components and parts are made, so we proceed to paint them with an ordinary brush.

Estimated costs

Let's estimate what a homemade wood splitter will cost us:


In total, it turns out about 7 thousand rubles. This is 3 times less than the cheapest factory firewood splitter.

Assembling units and parts of the wood splitter

We firmly fasten the flywheel to the shaft, put on the belt, bearing assemblies and fix the assembly on the frame.
We install and fasten the “carrot” at the end of the shaft with two special pins.



We tighten the belt by tightening the bolt intended for this, which, resting against the support, pushes the engine back and tightens the belt.



The electrician consists of a power cord, a switch and a voltage regulator from the grinder. The connection system is quite standard.



When starting, the presence of a regulator eliminates jerks and ensures a smooth set of revolutions by the flywheel. This is very important, because the belt does not slip in the grooves, which means it will last longer.
Also, thanks to the voltage regulator, you can change the power, which without load immediately leads to an increase in speed.
We install a protective cover on the flywheel to protect ourselves and nearby people from injury if the flywheel suddenly flies off the shaft or cracks.

Wood splitter test in action

First, let's try to split a small piece of the board. Our homemade product copes with it effortlessly. The same thing happens with dry logs that were stored under a canopy. Quite effortlessly, the wood splitter cracks down on a rather massive stump.


If suddenly the “carrot” gets stuck in the log, then turning off the power, turning the shaft by the back of the key, without any problems, we release the working body from the log in which it is stuck.


Even this little practice has shown that the “carrot” mount on the shaft must be recessed so as not to interfere with chopping firewood, and the table must stand on an absolutely horizontal surface. This will negate even small vibrations during the operation of the wood splitter.
It is also impossible to work on this unit with gloves and mittens, and the sleeves of clothing should not be too long and without laces, belts and other hanging elements so that they do not twist into a “carrot” and do not hurt your hands.

And in the 21st century, the complete gasification of Russia remains the lot of the distant future. Not only remote villages, but many small towns are forced to rely on wood stoves, for which you need to harvest a lot of fuel every year, because the winter is long and cold.

If you have strength and health, then you can wave an ax, but if you don’t have strength or don’t want to spend it on dull, monotonous work of splitting knotty chocks? You can turn on your head, watch a video or read our article and make a wood splitter with a washing machine engine.

Design choice

Compared to manually chopping wood, working on a wood splitter is a pleasure. No need to waste energy on splitting chocks, lifting a heavy cleaver, sweating and cursing stove heating. When working with a wood splitter, you only give it chocks, and the whole burden of splitting them is shifted to the mechanism. Before you assemble a homemade wood splitter with your own hands, you need to decide what design you will implement. There are at least three designs of wood splitters that are fundamentally different from each other:

  • wood splitter with hydraulic mechanism;
  • wood splitter with rack mechanism;
  • stepped screw wood splitter.

Having considered all the options, our experts came to the conclusion that it is better to start making a drawing of a screw wood splitter. Its design is simpler, more compact, has fewer elements, and therefore is cheaper. Thanks to the screw wood splitter, the process of chopping firewood is greatly accelerated. What is a screw splitter?

This unit consists of several main elements:

  1. frames;
  2. engine from a washing machine;
  3. drive mechanism;
  4. special cone.

The essence of his work is as follows. The motor from the washing machine rotates a small pulley. By means of a belt drive, work is transferred to a large pulley, which is put on a shaft. At the other end of the shaft there is a special sharp cone with a thread. The shaft together with the cone are parallel to the ground and rotate. The chock is pushed onto the rotating cone strictly sideways, the cone is screwed into the chock from the side, quickly splitting it in half. This is the design we have to bring to life with our own hands, but first let's pick necessary tools and materials.

Important! If you put a chock on the cone end face, the tree will fall between the frame and the cone, jam and break it, rendering the wood splitter unusable.

We select everything you need

To assemble a homemade screw wood splitter, you will need a relatively small set of tools, minimal skills in working with electric welding and a multimeter, as well as materials. What do you need from the tools?


Materials are more difficult. Currently, there are a lot of videos on the network that demonstrate the operation of a screw wood splitter. These videos demonstrate at least several options for assembling the unit, but the essence of all options is the same. First you need to find the main part - the cone. You can’t buy such a thing in a store, and it’s very difficult to make it yourself, because the cone is first machined, a thread with a short pitch is cut on it. Next, the cone is heated red-hot and maintained in this state in the oven for half an hour, then it is rapidly cooled in warm salted water.

There may be problems with the manufacture of the cone, but do not despair, there are online stores where you can relatively inexpensively purchase ready-made hardened cones specifically designed for homemade wood splitters. There you can also buy all the necessary parts for the gearbox, such as: shaft, small and large pulley, belt and bearings. If you yourself have experience in manufacturing gearboxes and you have spare parts for them, then you can limit yourself to buying a cone, in all other cases, our experts recommend buying a “set for a home-made screw wood splitter”.

In addition to the gearbox and cone, we need a strong and reliable frame, we will weld it from steel corners, sheet, as well as some parts of an old Soviet car. Prepare in advance approximately 4.5 m of a 40 mm steel angle, a rectangular sheet of metal 900x450 mm and a cardan suspension VAZ 2101.02.03.04.05.06 or 07. If there are no parts from such machines in the garage, then everything you need can be take on parsing for a penny. Also, for the convenience of moving the wood splitter, two wheels from a medical gurney can be welded to the frame, children's bike etc., they also need to be cooked.

Note! For our purposes, you can take part of the cardan from any rear-wheel drive Soviet or Russian car.

There remains one more detail, without which our screw wood splitter will not work - the engine. We make a wood splitter with a washing machine motor, so we need to disassemble any old washing machine with a commutator motor, remove the last one, use a multimeter to make sure that it works and cook it. Well, here in in general terms all. In addition to all of the above, we need various fasteners, but we can’t talk about it separately, and so it’s clear, let’s move on to the most interesting thing - the manufacture of a cone wood splitter.

We assemble the product

We will assemble a conical wood splitter with our own hands, which will turn the preparation of firewood from torture into pleasure. And we will start with the manufacture of the bed. We cut a corner with a grinder, 2 pieces of 1400 mm, 4 pieces of 200 mm and one piece of 450 mm. We lay two corners of 1400 mm in parallel at a distance of 450 mm each, connect the ends of the long corners with the letter "P" with a short corner of 450 mm and weld the joint. Next, we retreat from the welded joint 900 mm and weld the gimbal suspension element between the corners. Between the suspension and the first welded joint we put our rectangular steel sheet (it will fit exactly in size), and weld it.

Now it remains for us to weld 4 legs (4 pieces of 200 mm each) along the edges of the structure, attach wheels to two legs and the bed is ready. Next, let's take a look at the gearbox. We insert the shaft into the suspension element, on the one hand we put a large pulley on it.

Important! In order to press the cone and pulley onto the shaft, the latter will have to be strongly heated with a blowtorch.

The next stage is very responsible. It is necessary to put the small pulley on the motor shaft, and fix the motor under the welded suspension so that the small pulley is exactly under the large one. Mount the engine as securely as possible, as the structure will vibrate strongly during operation. We connect the pulleys with a belt. We supply the free end of the shaft (intended for the cone) with “eared” bearings, the latter must be securely bolted to the metal sheet.

Next, we connect two engine wires to the machine with our own hands, and we already connect the mains wire to it and check how the engine will work in tandem with the gearbox, whether there will be slippage, jamming. If everything is in order, we install the cone and check how our new wood splitter will work. The work is over. If the engine does not work for some reason or there are problems connecting it, read the article. Everything is written there, and if it’s still not clear, watch the explanatory video.

Note! Before you start using a new screw wood splitter, look at the video on how to do it right, I would not want you to spoil a thing that was made with difficulty by your own hands.

In conclusion, we note that we have just brought you another option for an excellent economic application of the engine from the washing machine. We hope you will be able to bring this idea to life and assemble a wonderful screw splitter. After reading the text of this publication, be sure to watch the video below. Good luck!

A wood splitter, or a special machine that is designed for harvesting firewood, can be represented by several designs. Such installations are divided into professional and household equipment, and also differ in the principle of operation.

It is not too difficult to make a convenient home-made wood splitter or cleaver using ready-made drawings and diagrams with your own hands, but you need to take into account the features of the structure being made.

Purpose and principle of operation of the wood splitter

Wood splitters are used not only in private households, but also in industrial enterprises:

  • hydraulic unit;
  • conical or screw assembly.

The principle of operation of such equipment is influenced by both the type of knife and the way it works.

Hydraulic

The design of hydraulic equipment is characterized by ease of use and high performance. The main advantage of such mechanisms is smooth operation combined with high efficiency and minimization of the risk of failure. The design is presented:

  • bed;
  • working cylinder;
  • emphasis;
  • knife or blade;
  • oil tank;
  • pumping equipment;
  • pressure level distributor;
  • gasoline or electric motor.

The principle of operation of hydraulic equipment is to transfer energy through the hydraulic cylinder to the hydraulic rod, after which the stop begins to move. Smooth operation allows the blade to enter the wood blank without impact, splitting it. In case of insufficient power, the cylinder stops and the pump idles, which prevents equipment breakdowns.

Tapered or screw

It has a nut-screw connection, which allows for greater power and reliability. The standard design is characterized by the fastening of the sliding stop on a horizontal bed. The movement is carried out by means of a hinge pin with an electric motor. For splitting, not knives are used, but a cone.

The advantages include the simplicity of the mechanism, undemanding maintenance and a long service life, but increased requirements are placed on engine power. Depending on the type of drive, electric and gasoline cleavers differ.Currently produced models can be industrial and household type.

We make our own screw cleaver

The main problem in creating such a homemade product as a screw wood splitter is finding a working cone, which can be purchased in specialized stores or made by hand using a metal blank.

Taper turning:

  • put a metal blank on the motor pulley;
  • in the process of free rotation, remove excess metal from the blank;
  • cut a left-hand thrust thread on the surface of the blank.

The final assembly consists in fitting a screw onto a prepared shaft and fixing it with a pin, after which a flange equipped with a motorcycle sprocket is put on the other side of the shaft.

Homemade wood splitter with an engine from a washing machine

When designing such a mechanism, it is necessary to take into account design feature, assuming a vertical installation of a split log. For a single-phase screw cleaver, a washing machine motor with a power of 600 watts is used. and speed stabilizer.

Manufacturing technology:

  • creation of a frame from a metal profile 2 x 4 cm or 3 x 5 cm and the subsequent division of the area into working and power parts;
  • installation and reliable fixation on the surface of the power side of the podium under the electric motor;
  • placement of the control unit in a plastic case on a dielectric plate;
  • make the working part of sheet steel with a thickness of 2.5 mm, followed by installation and fastening of the cone-cleaver shaft;
  • welding reliable power supports to the frame and equipping the shaft with a flywheel of a suitable diameter.

There are no fundamental differences in the organization of power supply and the design of the electric motor from the washing machine. The difference may lie in the connection scheme, which is due to the peculiarities of collector and asynchronous mechanisms, as well as units with an electronic control type that operate exclusively with an individual control module. When using modern motors, the use of a tachogenerator and thermal protection is not necessary. In this case, turning on and off can be organized by a conventional household machine.

How to make a cone wood splitter: drawings and stages of work

The simplest version of a cleaver with a cone rig, represented by the following structure:

  • lower jack part;
  • upper conical part;
  • U-shaped frame.
The split is carried out in the process of translational movement of the working part. A slightly more complex version of such equipment with an increased level of performance is a cleaver with an electric motor or a gasoline engine.

The equipment should be installed on the shaft of an electric motor or gearbox, which rotates slowly at a speed of 80-100 revolutions per minute. As a result, the wood is screwed in and splits. The main advantage of such a device is the absence of a stop and the safety of the worker.

This equipment is not suitable for splitting birch and oak wood, as well as wood species with high fiber content. The disadvantages include the complexity of the implementation of cone equipment. In this case, you can use a ready-made kit based on:

  • shaft 350 x 30 mm;
  • pulley with belt drive;
  • a pair of rotation bearings in the form of bearings;
  • "screw" 220 x 55 mm

It is also possible to independently manufacture equipment for lathe.

Manufacturing of a hydraulic device

In this design, the most complex unit is represented by the hydraulic part, consisting of a hydraulic cylinder with a pusher, a pump part, and control elements. For the manufacture of the frame, a metal corner, channels, an I-beam or a profile pipe are used. The design process provides for the placement of a metal frame on the wheels. The design of such equipment does not involve the use of electricity, and the splitting of wood is carried out using a hydraulic jack.

Self-manufacturing technology:

  • frame manufacturing;
  • production of a stable platform;
  • welding of a vertical guide;
  • welding a scarf on the back of the guide;
  • production of metal corners of the slider;
  • reinforcement of the stop of the hydraulic jack rod;
  • welding the sole from a metal strip 0.6-0.8 cm under the heel of the jack;
  • alteration of the jack handle for ease of operation;
  • welding the roller to the base of the frame and fixing the rubber band to return the pedal to its original position.

The cutting part of the equipment should be represented by a metal strip 3 cm thick, which must be sharpened with a wedge. To attach the cutter to the rail, you need to use three M-12 bolts.

Do-it-yourself mechanical spring wood splitter

A mechanical ax is known to many as a spring-loaded cleaver. Such a spring unit is quite simple to manufacture and convenient to use. The spring wood splitter assembly technology is as follows:

  • concrete a vertical rack;
  • hang a horizontal beam represented by a hinged upper assembly and a lower shock absorber;
  • fasten a short rack and equipment on the free beam end;
  • install a working deck.

The main advantage is that there is no need to use an engine, but at the same time, a mechanical spring wood splitter has a very low productivity, and the physical effort of the worker is also required.

Other design options

In order to save money and obtain a fully functional unit, a rack version of the wood splitter can be made. A homemade device takes into account the specific individual requirements of the consumer.

Features of the manufacture of the structure on a rack and pinion gear:

  • a gear is mounted on the output shaft of the reduction gear or pulley;
  • the movement of the gear causes the mobility of the rack;
  • the pressed rail is fixedly fixed on the frame with the laid log;
  • the gear receives engagement with the rack through the control handle;
  • the working part of the structure is mounted on a solid stationary frame;
  • a cleaver is attached to the frame base;
  • the movement of the gear rack is carried out along the guides, which are fixed on the frame;
  • the rail is returned to its original position by means of a return spring.

The operability of the design can be ensured by any electric, gasoline or diesel engine. The advantage of a homemade rack and pinion wood splitter is the minimum cost Supplies and parameter flexibility. The structure should not sway, and during construction mobile device, the wheel system must stably support the entire mass of the device. The speed at which the log is fed to the split must be calculated empirically.

At self-manufacturing wood splitter, you need to use only well-drawn drawings and diagrams. Particular attention should be paid to the selection of high-quality and durable consumables. Equally important is the stability of the structure, which will make the process of work not only comfortable, but also as safe as possible. It should be noted that home-made models of wood splitters are much cheaper than factory designs, so they are great for home use. However, if you need to chop wood in large volumes and often enough, then it is best to purchase a factory-made wood splitter.



Reason is given to man in order to make physical labor easier or to get rid of it altogether. This article is about a wood splitter that you can make yourself from available materials. Such a wood splitter will cost you much cheaper than a purchased one. A machine was assembled on the basis of an engine from a washing machine, and the flywheel from a GAZ-53 car accumulates the necessary power for splitting firewood in a homemade product.

The wood splitter is very simple and easy to use, it easily copes with splitting even knotty stumps, and if you put a more powerful engine, or just two engines from washing machines, it will chop almost any stump. If you are interested in homemade, I propose to study the project in more detail.

Materials and tools used

List of materials:
- sheet steel, round timber (to make a working shaft);
- shaped pipes and sheet steel (for the frame);
- the engine from the washing machine;
- flywheel from GAZ-53 or similar;
- Belting;
- "carrot" for wood splitter;
- , switch, wiring;
- bearings with brackets;
- bolts, nuts, washers, etc.

List of tools:
- turner services;
- drill;
- Bulgarian;
- plasma cutter;
- welding machine;
- spanners, marking tool, etc.

Wood splitter manufacturing process:

Step one. Working axis
First of all, we will make a working axis, or rather a blank for it. It is made of round timber, to which two steel plates are welded. Cutting round timber is not a problem, the most difficult thing will be to cut these two "washers" from thick sheet steel. The author cut them out with a plasma cutter, and then brought them to mind with files and a grinder.

As a result, the blank was sent to the turner, and the author received a masterpiece. On the shaft there is a flange for fastening the flywheel, as well as a machined place for installing a drive belt from the engine.

























Step two. Frame
The author welded the frame from profile pipes, there is nothing complicated here, you just need to show some effort and patience. In addition, two parts must be cut out of strong steel, from which a wedge will then be welded.













Step three. Flywheel
For homemade, you need a flywheel, it will spin up to high speeds, and then, due to these speeds and mass, it will prick hemp. The author bought a flywheel used from a GAZ-53. To begin with, we remove the ring gear from it, it will not be needed, and we also clean the part well from dirt and rust. Well, then we install the flywheel on the previously made axle.

























Then the most tiring begins - the flywheel needs to be balanced, otherwise there will be strong vibrations. For balancing, the author clearly horizontally welds two corners with an edge up and puts a flywheel on them, resting on the axle. Rolling the flywheel and releasing, you can see in what position it stops, at the bottom there will always be the heaviest point. To lighten the flywheel in the right place, you need to drill metal with a drill. A little diligence, and the author coped with this task, the flywheel turned out to be perfectly balanced.

Step four. Protective cover
During operation, the flywheel accelerates to very high speeds, if something happens, you will not even have time to think about anything. Be sure to make a protective cover, weld the frame from profile pipes and scald it with thick sheet steel. If there is no thick steel, you can weld partitions on the frame to strengthen the structure.









Step five. Finishing touches and assembly
Let's make a tabletop for the machine, here we need sheet steel. On the countertop we install a wedge from thick plates, which will split the stumps. The author welded partitions into the wedge just in case.

That's all, now the machine remains to be painted and assembled. After painting, it looks great, and will not rust now. The car is ready for testing.


















Of course, we all live in the 21st century, when gas is installed almost everywhere. central heating or have an electric boiler. However, civilization has not reached all corners of our vast country, especially in remote regions and rural areas. Not all villages and villages have central heating, but winter happens there too.

People have no choice but to chop wood and heat the stove on their own. Definitely - this is a solution to the situation, but chopping firewood is not the most pleasant and exciting activity, especially in the cold season. Technique and progress took care of this too, such a useful thing as a wood splitter was invented. In general, you can buy it, but for those who do not want to waste money, we will tell you how to make a wood splitter with an engine from a washing machine.

Do-it-yourself wood splitter from the engine of a washing machine

Thanks to such a contraption, you can chop several cubic meters of firewood in just an hour or two. For comparison: if you categorically reject "devilish things" and will wield an ax manually, then it will take you 3-4 days. In this article you will find drawings of a wood splitter with an engine from a washing machine, everything is extremely simple and clear.

In total, 3 types of electric wood splitters are used and available, these are:

  • conical;
  • hydraulic;
  • rack.

The most economical of all is the cone, but be prepared to work hard not only with your hands, but also with tools. A lathe is indispensable here, if we talk about traditional manufacturing methods, then people don’t really bother and do without a gearbox, attaching a cone to the motor shaft itself. So, of course, you can do it, but only on condition that the step is small and the thread is shallow.

If you plan to spend a little more money and time on manufacturing, that is, to buy a gearbox, then the thread should be deep, and the step should be large. All this is necessary in order to adjust the level of performance of the wood splitter, taking into account the speed of rotation of the shaft.

Directly on what you need. From the name it is obvious that a cone will be needed, but you need to buy it only in a trusted place so that it is of high quality. The blank for the cone must be heated and kept in the oven for half an hour to harden. After that, it must be sent to salt water and left there for several minutes.

Everything is described in more detail in the video on how to make a wood splitter with your own hands.

Let's say a few words about the most important part of the wood splitter - its motor, most often the motor from the old washing machine, which remained after the repair or worked for so long that the whole presentable appearance lost. In an extreme case, there is a lot of such goodness from neighbors, acquaintances, or even in the market. Carefully and carefully study all the diagrams and drawings that are attached to the article, they describe the process of creating and assembling a wood splitter as clearly and in detail as possible.

bed

Naturally, you won’t hold a wood splitter in your hands during the work, and no one will, it’s too reckless, short-sighted and simply scary and dangerous. It is logical to assume that, in addition to the apparatus, it will also be necessary to make a base, that is, a frame, to weld the base yourself.

Keep in mind that the finished frame will have to be divided into 2 zones: one will be power, and the second will be working. The power side will be needed in order to turn it into a unit engine holder. Everything must be done very carefully so as not to damage your hands and not cripple. If you are not sure that you can do this, then it is better to contact someone who understands this kind of work, or buy already ready product. Actually, the working area itself is a small piece of steel sheet, only a few millimeters thick, along the zone separation line, you need to install a pedestal on which the cone will rest. Please note that if you attach the cone itself to the motor, it will not end well, in any case, you will need bearings that will act as a support.

So we came to the most important and crucial part - to the moment of connecting the motor from an old or not very old washing machine. Firstly, the connection process depends entirely on what brand the car was during its lifetime. After the motor is put in its rightful place, a test test of the unit should be carried out.

Remember the safety precautions, it is important to once again check the reliability of fastening all parts of the wood splitter and only then start. Make sure that there are no children nearby while the wood splitter is operating, one careless movement can cause serious injury or a real tragedy. Use the device carefully, the slightest mistake can be fatal for you!

If there is no one in the affected area, and all the parts are securely fastened, then you can get the blanks and turn on the miracle machine! Just a few seconds and the workpiece turned into firewood, and all this without any extra effort and complexity. Everything is simple, convenient and automatic. The wood splitter is useful not only in a remote taiga village, but also in the country, if you still have not installed central heating or have not made your own heating system. A useful thing in the household that will significantly facilitate life, and most importantly, save a lot of precious time, because, as you know, there is always something to do in the country or in a private house.
