A woodsplitting machine has a plurality of wedges of various sizes and
configurations radially attached to a rotational member mounted on the
frame behind the log cradle such that an operator can quickly and easily
rotate the appropriate wedge into position depending on the diameter of
the log in the cradle to be split. The rotational member can be
hydraulically actuated such that the wedges can be rotated around the
longitudinal axis of the machine with little effort for the operator. An
alternate embodiment provides that the rotational member be manually
rotated such that the wedges can be rotated around the longitudinal axis
of the machine by the hand of the operator.
