Description

Overview

The 6 Way Wedge is a splitting wedge designed for the T29FHC. It replaces the standard 4-way wedge, so each log can split into more pieces in one pass.

The 6 way wedge has a primary vertical blade. It also has intersecting horizontal and angled blades. Together they create six cutting edges. As the hydraulic ram pushes the log through the wedge, the blades split the wood at the same time.

6 way wedge for uniform firewood

For example, a medium log leaves the wedge in several pieces at once. The page describes the output as uniform, stove-ready firewood. Also, the wedge works best on straight-grained wood and properly sized logs.

Key features

• Six cutting edges from one wedge
• Primary vertical blade with intersecting horizontal and angled blades
• Splits logs into several pieces in a single pass
• Replaces the standard 4-way wedge on the T29FHC
• Produces uniform, stove-ready firewood

Also, the wedge suits medium to small diameter logs. Therefore, it fits a high-volume routine where production speed matters.

Also, the page lists the design as 6 x 11.5 x 30 in with 49 lbs.

Compatibility

The 6 way wedge is designed for the T29FHC. It replaces the standard 4-way wedge. Therefore, check your splitter setup before you swap wedges.

Also, the wedge is one part of the splitting setup. Check the wedge and blades for wear after each batch, so the splitting stays even.

6 way wedge fit check

First, confirm your machine is a T29FHC. Next, measure the 30 in length and 11.5 in width against your wedge space. Then, do not forget the safety retaining bolt when you use the wedge. Oversized or heavily knotted timber can reduce splitting efficiency. For the full processor, see our NorthForest T29FHC firewood processor page.
