Hydraulic Stone Splitter

Here are some construction photos of a hydraulic stone splitter made by Calder Stratford of Utah. He constructed this splitter to build a custom home, which turned out beautiful, see excellent photos of it here.

The basics of the construction:

Used 100 ton press frame
Two 5" x 14" Hydraulic cylinders
Top and bottom blades are wood splitter wedges purchased from Northern Tool
In-feed table supported on springs, which compress so the table lowers to expose the lower blade.
