How to mount kindling knacker XL?

[JAKs Q & brew]

I just got my kindling kracker XL and a nice tree stump chopping block to mount it on. The problem is the XL doesn't have holes to screw it down to the stump like the regular size.

How do I secure the XL to the block? Or do I not need to?

I used 4 lag bolts and fender washers in the half moon indentions in the center support.

Drill some holes??
Maybe Bruce can come over and drive it inta that stump with his 10'er??
I'm just playing about...
Ya could drill some holes and drop some t35 timber locks in it or some sds screws.

-D

I don't have mine attached, it has a wide base and isn't going anywhere. I sometimes find it helpful to re-position it, so having it screwed down would be a minus, not a plus.

Same here.

I just have mine on a pice of 2X12 on the ground. It suffices but I would love to have a tree stump.

Mine is not screwed down. I place it on my chopping stump when needed and then it goes back in the shed when not in use.

Question: How do I mount it

Answers: I didn't mount it

:doh:


I was hoping someone would give specifics on lag bolt & washer size.

Yeah... don't mount it... put it in a large cardboard box to catch the splits. It won't move much at all as I do it all the time.

I did not mount mine but there are notches for lag bolts if so desired.

This person mounted their XL for a review: https://www.thegreenhead.com/2019/1...-xl-safer-faster-easier-firewood-splitter.php

I mounted mine on a 3 ft log and then cut the bottom off a 5 gal. pail slipped it over the
kracker to catch the splits .Works great.
