Abstract
An improved wood processing apparatus which prevents clogging or fouling of the apparatus by providing a clear opening in the base of the apparatus for the passage of the pieces once cut, this area directing the pieces by gravity away from the drive mechanism. Additionally, the fully enclosed nature of the cutting hole eliminates the possibility of logs of too large a section being inserted into the cutting drum thereby stalling or fouling the cutting drum action.
