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. They are also a tad bit curved over that 4.75". Still they are substantial heavy pieces of metal and might just do good.
I also found some C channel I'd forgotten in my scrap pile. Viewed from the end laying like the letter "n" it's 4" across the top and that part is 1/8 thick and it is 1.5" tall--that part is almost 1/2" thick at the top and tapers to 1/8" at the bottom. They might work too.
I suspect the metal they are made of also impacts their suitability? I'll have to mull it over.
