hey guys long time away but I’m back
At home I have a Cat 302.5c
It currently has a homemade hydraulic thumb on it, I think the thumb is far to heavy
It’s made of 25mm plate, (1inch)
I’m redesigning it’s shape and profile and wondering what thickness plate I should have it cut from
I’m thinking 16mm (5/8)
As that is slightly thicker than the side profile of a bucket 10mm(3/8)
Who else has a thumb on a 20-30 class machine
What thickness has bent and what thickness works good before I get this cut in the wrong thickness
Thanks guys
