Hello all. Sorry for lack of pictures(s), so please bear with me. I will be making a small trenching bucket that will be approx. 2ft high. I bought beveled cutting edges (3/8 x3") to install on the front sides/vertical edges (mostly as a brace/stiffener/wear guard). My question is do I install them so the bevel directs the dirt into, or away from the bucket? If I install them so the bevel is away from the bucket I can have the bevel piece and the side piece be back to back, so there will be little chance of a wayward rock damaging anything. If I were to install the bevel facing the inside, the bevel portion would have to be forward of the bucket side piece, which makes me wonder if the thinner beveled edge caught a rock, what is the likely hood it would damage the beveled piece?
