Title: scary looking tool, sawmill? dentist?
Post by: skipskip on February 21, 2016, 11:25:33 AM
this is about 2 feet long and 4 inches at the widest point.

comes to a screw point and is indeed screw thread all the way up.

looks like it could bolt to a lathe   or ..?

sawmill?  industrial woodworking?

I don't want my Dr. to get his hands on this one

Looks like one of those logs splitters you put on your wheel. Scary in deed.

I have a permanent dent in one finger where the handle of a 12-lb sledge caught a branch & my finger (on the handle next to the head of the sledge) got smashed between said handle & the top of a wedge I was trying to set -- we were  cutting firewood on an old farmstead & only had chain saws & a sledge & wedges to bring the biggest pieces  (old ash trees with trunks 20 - 30 inches in diameter ) down to where they'd stack in the pickup. 

This spinning thingy would snatch loose clothes or gloves, but looks smooth enough to not rip your hide if given due respect  & is surely more compact than one of those tow-behind wedge splitters with a gas engine, hydraulic pump, etc.

Figure out how to mount one of these puppies on the axle while the wheel's mounted, and you'd be unbeatable at the demolition derbies.  Well, maybe not; get caught up in someone's tire, and you might get really stuck.

Yeeouch; just reading that mishap hurts. . .
