Splitting return corners? What is the best way?

May we suggest using a mold with three 8" (200 mm) and splitting off a stringer with the larger splitter (S63) A, then splitting the return corner with the Quiksplit II B. This allows the Quiksplit to split the 16" (400 mm) face.

Another way is to make a thicker than 2" (50 mm) end slab. This will assure a good end split. It has been our experience that trying to split a 2 x 8 x 8 end face will not give satisfactory results.

If you are running an end split, where you throw away a 2" (50 mm) slab, you might try splitting the throw-away with the S63 A and the 16" (400 mm) length on the Quiksplit II B, you will probably need a turntable for this.
