Thanks! That's using your thinking cap! I have two of them now that I got after they were removed from some form of state equipment. The ones I have are 5/8" thick and 4.75" wide (which would have been tall on the machine). Also the 5/8" thick tapers to a cutting edge on one side--so like 1.25" of it's width is not full 5/8 thick.

I suspect the metal they are made of also impacts their suitability? I'll have to mull it over.
