If I wanted to scale these up and make a pair that was able to cut 3-5" diameter pieces of hardwood what would be the limiting factors besides leverage? If I could just lop my firewood instead of having to use a saw I would save a good amount of money
wood fiber is stronger under compression. just use a saw, it's been the tool of choice for thousands of years for a reason.
>>2953333That would take foreverI just wanna slicey slice a bunch of 18" pieces really fast
>>2953327Should probably just get a saw

>>2953342Yes, surely dumping 5 grand in a hydraulic shear will save me money
>>2953327The problem with all static cutters is more cutting force requires thicker material which means more to push through the cut which means even more force needed. That and the blade dulls too much before the cut is finished It’s probably possible but the device would be huge and unwieldy
>>2953347do you own a welder and a hacksaw?if so turn off the puter and go touch metal
>>29533363-5" isn't really that thick though, I can tear through that with a bow saw in seconds. it doesn't get much easier without power tools.
>>2953405I use loppers like in OP to make my pieces for charcoal, usually oak like 1" thick and I can cut 40-50 pieces a minute
>>2953433How long to do 5" oak like OP is asking?
>>2953342>copper pipe and alican that baby cut real metal or is it purely for light work

>>2953481crap vid but some were at least interestingI didn't see many proper widowmakers
>>2953471You couldn't cut a piece of 5" diameter oak with the cutters in OP. That's what OP is asking
Make a ratcheting version and jump up and down on the handleTwo miniute captcha on this website is insane. How is this supposed to stop botting? It seems like the only people willing to wait that long would be bots. I havent posted here in years
>>2953327I have a set of fiskars loppersandi can quite comfortably cut through 3-4 inch diameter hardwood, 5 more difficult but manageable. What do you bench?
