What is the largest diameter log this will work on?
1954637
I think it theoretically does a 3" diameter log. I was using it with the logs gripped horizontally in a vise and had the tool in a hand held drill motor, green cherry, poplar, and birch. I had trouble when I got above 2.5" with the tool either bouncing around on the tenon (reduced OD for first 1/4 to 1/2 inch) or stalling the drill motor by taking too much bite. Read the setup instructions closely, I think you can address the too-much-bite problem by shimming the cutter blades. As for the bouncing problem, perhaps you can set up to use a drill press with the log in a verticle vise or perhaps you can pre-taper the ends with a bandsaw.

I would go no larger than 5-6 inches, however if the log is to large for the bit, the log can be shaved down with a draw knife so that it will feed into the bit.

To the best of my knowledge, any Poulan 18 inch. The Oregon S62 is the best and universal in my opinion. Good luck and Cheers.

The biggest I've split was about 20". You can really split any size, you just may have to rotate and resplit if it is a large log.

Motor amps should be in the specs section. Motor has plenty of power to split even the biggest of logs

I'm using both this and "Alaskan MKIII". This works on bigger logs but is more cumbersome and I get worse precision, so I do initial "splitting" for big logs with this and then move over to the "Alaskan MKIII"

Nope - it won't. At least it's not designed to, and I wouldn't try it with mine. The biggest it's designed to swage is 3/64.

I've split logs up to 18" in diameter, though it does put a burden on the machine. I look for cracks where the log is already starting to split and aim the wedge there. I also don't do for splitting a large log in half; instead I try to cut a small piece off first and then work from there. Often, with wood like oak, I have to finish the job by inserting an axe and hitting it with a sledge hammer, as oak tends to tear a lot. It's still less work than splitting without the machine!

The one I got I used for making eyelet holes in heavy tent canvas. The one I got would not come close to making a hole that large.

the dremel "chuck" will accomodate most anything a standard drill motor chuck will..never measured the largest drill possible...but it will take full sized drill bits

it says about 7 7/8" diameter is the maximum. I've used it to cut 3 1/2 holes in 3/4" plywood and solid walnut, and it worked well. Just be sure you use a drill press, clamp down the work, cut very slowly and at no more than 500 rpm. I'm not so sure how well it would cut at the maximum of 7 7/8", but that would depend upon what you were trying to cut a hole in... 1/4' or 3/4" stock.

i hardly think this is the saw you want to use as the max log diameter would be less than about 5 1/2 " and even that would be quite a load on the motor.

We've cut logs quite a bit larger than the 1.5" - main thing is to use a clamp or have a two person team doing it. My husband made a really nice log bed in just a few hours as a rank beginner! We used logs about 3 - 4 inches.

There is actually a HD Jig that you can use for wood thicker than 1 1/2" [http://www.amazon.com/Kreg-Tool-KJHD-Jig-Kit/dp/B00PCHKM3G/ref=sr_1_29?ie=UTF8&qi;d=1418828708&sr;=8-29&keywords;=kreg+jig+hd]

Thank you for your question. The largest diameter holesaw that this model is designed to work with is 2 inches. If using a 4" hole saw we would recommend a corded drill. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499).

Get the part number from the manufacturer and order from Amazon or just go to Amazon and make sure you have the right diameter.

4 to 5inch. It will fit a 1/4in drill bit and u will have enough room to drill into the the wood

Works with medium to large diameter logs, the length of the log is what dictates if you can split it or not. I used it on several logs 24 inches or less in diameter and it worked perfect
