How high above the beam is the centerline of the cylinder ?Hi everyone new to the group thanks
Looking some advice was thinking of making a log splitter with some left over pieces of steel I have.
Would box iron 150mmx150mmx5mm be strong enough for the main beam. I have a 16 ton ram
I am thinking approx 75 mm to center but as you say I can plate this.How high above the beam is the centerline of the cylinder ?
You could add some flat plate under the cylinder (150 mm x 13mm), both as a slide for the wedge, and as a flange to take the tension load.
Much like plating a beam.
