Brilliant addition to my middle aisle splitter. Much less bending down, and will avoid a repeat of head injury from stray flying log … (could have lost an eye!) However does need a good amount of time to assemble on to the splitter but well worth it.

Sadly this all turned out to be a bit of a saga. I mistakenly ordered the work bench to replace a broken one I had for my FM10. It didn’t fit. The latest work bench and guard has been updated along with the FM10 itself so that the attachment points don’t match. I was refunded the monies for the original purchase and the customer services guy was very helpful – yes it has changed but you can just use the bench without the guard. The new guard is so enclosing it makes work much harder – I’m not using it. The salt in the wound is that this OTT design is an EU requirement apparently, so not really needed now.
I asked that my comments by passed onto the designer/owner but have heard nothing. The new bench is clearly not attached as securely as the original – there are 2 unused fixing points. Plus I know have £50 worth of unwanted guard sat in the garage. It would have not been quite so annoying if it was possible to purchase the work bench on its own, along with an explanation that it would fit the older FM10 but not quite so securely. The old design was much better, more flexible in use and cheaper. Perhaps now that we are not in the EU we can go back to the original?

My splitter has had a hard life and has performed without falter. As a result of certain user induced damage to the guard and workbench required these items to be replaced. The order was dealt with very efficiently and waiting time was minimal. Thank you

Mainly bought this for the work bench to collect split log pieces conveniently but added the surround as this obviously provides a back and sides that aid collecting more pieces. I was a little worried the complete surround would get in the way and seemed overkill for EU regulations but in practice it’s not an issue. Makes a really good improvement to usability of the FM10.
