Single Bit Ax

The single bit axe is a more common ax and offers a number advantages. Its design is optimal to that all the torque (rotational power caused by swinging around a pivot point- the shoulder) behind the one bit it possesses. The poll is hardened in some axes (notably Wetterlings) and can therefore be used for hammering. A single bit axe can also be batoned and, when combined with hard wood wedges, even a small hatchet can split an entire hardwood tree when in the hands of a skilled user.

Double Bit Ax

A double bit axe offers various advantages. It is usually symmetrical around a center line. This offers balance you will not find in a single bit axe. While it can’t be batoned. The two blades are often ground differently to offer splitting and cutting profiled offering a large degree of versatility in a single tool. When applied to a hatchet sized axe this is known as a Nessmuk grind after the famous author of that name.

Do you have a tree stump that is an eyesore and need it removed? We are up to the task. If you would like to try to tackle the task yourself, here is how you can get it done:

Removing It By Hand
If you’re going to remove your tree stump by hand, you will want to get a few tools before you start. You’ll need a stump grinder, shovel, mattock, chainsaw, and a rake. You will use the shovel to clear away rocks and debris from around the stump.

You will want to cut away as much of the stump as you can with your chainsaw. You will want to get the stump as level with the ground as possible. When you’ve done that, bring the stump grinder above the stump, turn it on and lower the grinder to grind the stump down. Repeat this process until you have ground the stump down to an acceptable level.

There are other methods of removing stumps from your property. There are ways to remove stumps with chemicals as well as burning stumps out. Each method should be used cautiously.
