The arm seems a bit short. Whats the wedge material?

I think that either your axe should be longer or your drive should be faster. You're not gonna hit much if you can't get under anything at that axe length. And at its speed, it won't be able to get under much.

yeah i know its too slow i chose torque over speed. this was cobbled together today so there are lots of improvements to be made.
the wedge is polycarbonate.

You should probably switch it to some form of metal, polycarbonate wont keep an edge and you can't have an effective wedge that can't keep a sharp edge. If you don't want to make it a deferent material, you should extend the ax arm, so it hits the ground and not the wedge.

it has a 1mm steel sheet that can be bolted to the front, my mum would have killed me if i scratched the new floor. i am using polcarbonate as metal tends to buckle when hit by a big spinny thing :evilsmile:

Yuck, white HDPE

You know how brittle it is, right?
Always use black HDPE

We have 4mm, 5mm and 6mm in different places

HDPE tends to stand up quite well, deflecting blows, what keeps Explosion safe though is the hardox frame underneath it :P
