    Guy called me yesterday to let me know it was done. I picked it up this morning. He said it ended up being a real pain but he broke it all down and started fresh. It certainly passes my inspection.

    I could tell he didn’t want to charge what he did because the way he said it but $175. I’ve known this guy my whole life and everything else I’ve ever used him for I thought he undercharged so I totally trust he put some time into it.

    He did. I worry about the inside weld on the front though. If your single wedge hits it, it will dull the heck out of it.

    The single wedge it slides onto always hits it. That’s how it’s designed. Over 1100 hours on the machine with the bulk of it using the 6 way wedge with the same exact design and no issues yet.
