Thread: Scale Wedge Geometry

Generally I'll shoot for about the same angel that the shank has at the pivot.

As far as the width, the widest/rear of the wedge having a thickness of about half the width of the shank at pivot area seems about right usually.

That seems to be a good guide at least pending variables.

What was noted above, including over time you get a feel, and test assemble first is valuable too

In my original post, I was going to credit where I learned that, but wasn't positive. I was just researching, came back to add a credit, and see I was too slow, lol. I realize Glen likely didn't create this observation about wedge geometry originally, but thankful he and others openly share what they do learn.

Off topic, but I gotta say it- thanks to all. I certainly have learned a ton through this forum.
