What size hyd motor did you choose. Pin count on sprocket, hyd flow and pressure, for your saw.
I have some questions for you guys, again
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:
View attachment 598284View attachment 598285
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

Plasma gouging is the easiest. Wheel grinding is a pain...
I think I have no choice to bought one for this project... I even consider forging the blade, if you can make a sword why not a wedge

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.
