I have some questions for you guys, again :confused:

What do you think the thickness of the wedge need to be ? I want a 4 and 6 way wedge. Do you think 3/4 for the vertical wedge and 1/2 for the
horizontal blade is enough? I like this design:

All the wedge that I see on the commercial processor seem relatively "thin" ,Like 3/4 " max .

Also do you think that the splitting push plate need wear pad, like teflon or something else?
Or metal on metal is okay?

Thanks

Ok ,I will go with 3/4" inch and we will see. the thing that worries me is how to sharpen the blade...

Easiest way to sharpen the wedge is turn the metal up on it edge and torch it toward the wide part. I use my home made track torch and clamp the steel plate to the end of my table with the narrow edge turned up. Set the torch on a angle i want and then just cut. I mark a line where I want the flame to exit the plate and just watch the flame. 5min with a grinder to clean it up and its a knife edge. 1227141106a.jpg1227141106.jpg
