Well ,do the math.You would have to either find some flat stock that would fit or torch out some that would fit to box the beam.Then you spend half a day welding it together. Welding rod,electricity,oxegon,actelene,time. You're spending a dollar to save a dime. If it wasn't a couple of thousand...

Not to be pessimistic but boxing the beam will cost more than just getting a heavier beam to start with . As far as structural strength is goes by the poundage per foot.For example a 10" wide flange I beam is 21 pounds per foot.Generally speaking if that same weight were in a 8 inch beam the...

By golly it is a guard rail beam,just noticed that myself. Not to be the bearer of bad tiddings but it could warp and never pop back if you chomp into a chunk that has about a turn and half of twist in the grain. In critique the higher up the wood makes contact with the wedge the more strain...

That combination should work just fine.

Oh actually about any tiltable one with at least a 4 inch cylinder. I have Tom the tree guys 27 ton splitter to use because those thieven pot lickers in his neighborhood would steal the parts off it had he kept it where he lives.It does just fine . In my pile of junk I've had the parts to make...

Now let's face it,a woodsplitter has to be built battleship tough. Anything less than that is an exercise in futility. If it doesn't have some tough to it it is like splitting wood with a hatchet. Possible but not the best of design .

Well of course not on purpose but if you get it extended it puts a lot of strain on the rod.I imagine that small of a cylinder only uses a 1 inch rod and they would bend fairly easy at full extension . Not trying to act like a smart azz but if that thing is say 24" long and anchored at the...

Well,it's your's do as you wish.How-some -ever at this point you could use the beam and cylinder for some thing else.Kinda hard to do anything with it if it's shaped like a pretzel.:)

It isn't at that size.I however have some in my pile that are over 30 inch,those are a challange. Nothing however that the 27 ton ton splitter can't handle but a little rough with the 5 pound axe. Now If it were I and I had to beef up that homemade splitter I would jump right to a 4 inch...

2" is not nearly large enough.Given the same amount of hydraulic pressure that small of cylinder will only produce 1/4 the amount of a 4" . Using the formula pi times radius squared the 2" only produces 3.1416 square inchs in area while the 4" is 12.5664. Even if the hydraulic system would...

Not to be a smart alec but that is a puny little cylinder .What size is that thing???

On the hydraulics of a skidloader you have to remember they use a single stage pump.A knife edge cutter would indeed be better that a 4 way . A big old 4 way or high angle wedge I don't think is the answer in this application .
