I've got a problem with my log splitter and need some advise.
It's got a 10" tall wedge that's made out of 1/2 x 6 and I've bent it over sideways a bit. I'm planning on reinforcing it by sandwiching it with some 3/8 plate but have a question about which way to go. Should I should grind the fillet weld at the base of the wedge so the plate fits flush to the wedge and flat to the top of the splitter or should I grind the bottom of the 3/8 off at an angle so it clears the fillet? The fillet is a single pass of 7018 and I beveled the top of the splitter (4" sq. tubing) where the wedge goes through. Thanks for any ideas!
