Title: Clamping Cleats on the Sawbunks
Post by: Rougespear on May 30, 2016, 10:29:01 AM

I'm surveying ideas for clamping cleats before I weld them onto my deck. I am referring to the small, less than 3/4" high metal blocks or teeth that hold the cant once the squaring arms/side supports are lowered. I feel like I previously read that ones with a point pierced the log and sometimes cracked it. Should the cleats be square, angled to make a "tooth", how high, etc? Thoughts appreciated!

Cheers!
