Welding Splitter Wedge, Help Please!

[bobodu]

On stacking the wedges....I took them to the grinder and removed some of the "flare" at the tip and stepped them so the top ones were closer to the ram. It was a cheap solution....and I'm really suprised that none of them flew off into the beans. Corn wouldn't have been too bad....but with beans..I never would have found them!!

my wedge was a "hardened steel" composition, and 7018 was recommended. torch in one hand, stinger in the other, i welded it on there . i am confident it will never, ever, breaK off.
