Best Answer

Do your cut in several passes.

Start with the bit high, just taking a small bite of the wood.

Then lower the bit and take another pass.

Gradually lower it to the desired depth and you'll get your final cut.

How do you split firewood?

Splitting firewood can be done mechanically or by hand. A hydraulic wood splitter can make splitting large amounts of firewood easy. These units can be expensive, around $1,000 for one powered by a gas engine. Splitting firewood by hand using a splitting axe or maul is the more traditional way. The Fiskars x27 splitting axe is a great tool. Place the log to be split on top of another larger log to prevent the axe head from going into the dirt. A maul is heavier and can wear you out quickly even though it does work well. The species of wood will dictate how easy it is to split. Some woods like ash are known to split easily, while others can be much more difficult.
