Maybe consider this as an alternative?
Willie I don't know if you remember but the wedge fits in a pocket welded into the H beam so as to be removable and replaced with a "+" shaped wedge that would split into 4 pcs in one stroke or even an "X with a vertical line" shape to cut into six pcs.
I agree I should have bought the H-beam 6" longer, but that's water under the bridge.
I figure my triangle, like yours but rotated 180° and tapering down to the bottom of the H-beam should do it.
