We're never wrong Steve just misunderstood.
Not a great picture (sure was shiny back then). You can see the thin cutting edge protruding about an inch ahead of where the wedge spreads out. That will cut into the wood easily, if the block doesn't start to split at that point she's stuck. Sometimes really stuck. But I'm only using a single stage pump with the relief set at 1800psi and a 3 1/2 inch cylinder, about 8 1/2 ton force.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
