The Forest Master FM8TW-TC 5-ton log splitter is the perfect product for beginners new to log splitting, or for those who want a simple gadget just to split logs for their log burner/wood stove. The FM8 outclasses other splitters of a similar price range, with increased power to size ratio delivering 5 tons of force from a 2200w electric motor despite its compact size. Compatible with both soft and hardwood of lengths up to 370mm, and is readily adaptable to use with our DuoCutâ„¢ blade attachment.
For ease and convenience for our customers, our FM8 log splitter comes ready filled with Forest Master Custom Mix Hydraulic Oil that improves the performance of your log splitter up to 30%, allowing it to cleave easily through the toughest of logs.
Following the implementation of 2019 EU safety legislation, we proudly supply the FM8 log splitter with a workbench and safety guard to ensure the safety of our customers. We advise using this safety cage at all times when operating the splitter. As with anything Forest Master, we always strive to improve on competitors. Our unique workbench and safety guard features no holes in the side panels which ensures that logs cannot get caught and cause serious damage to the guard.
The FM8TW-TC comes with our latest trolley stand which uses the rear wheels from the log splitter and has locking castors at the front allowing for easier movement and use of our log splitter.
If you’re looking to split harder woods such as seasoned oak, take a look and consider our 5 ton FM10D-TC model which is fitted with the DuoCutâ„¢ blade attachment for additional power.

Great machine, it splits wood with ease, takes the effort out of an otherwise back aching chore.
It took two of us a very long time – around three hours – to assemble everything, largely because not all of the pre-drilled holes lined up, so a lot of fettling was required – I think there must be an easier way to supply the kit to make assembly more user friendly, or simply offer a fully assembled option. Once completed, the splitter has worked very well, and I’m pleased with it.
Love it – life changing BUT… the stand is really fiddly to put together with bolts in ridiculously inaccessible positions. But don’t let that put you off.
