I have to change out the cylinder on my wood splitter.
The push plate is kind of a cobbled up mess, so I think I will take the opportunity to make a new push plate.
I am using a tie rod style hydraulic cylinder with the clevis style ends.
I was thinking 1" steel for the push plate, 1/2 for the base.
Would use a 1" thick piece in the middle and drill a hole for the cylinder clevis to mount.
Does this sound ok, and what thickness should the steel that makes the lower slides under the beam?
Also what dimensions are typical?
I have a 6" wide beam, should I go 9" wide for the overhang for the lower slides to mount?
Maybe 8-10 inches tall.
Not sure how long to make the base either.
Any thoughts are appreciated!
