Importance of Cutting Edges or Blades
The front lip of a scraper bowl machine, excavator, dozer, and wheel loader bucket fitted with cutting edges or blades protects from wear and tear. Other than protecting the front lip of heavy-duty types of machinery, cutting edges also make the machine buckets sharper and lighter. This results in reduced petrol use and boosted productivity.
Hardened steel is the material used in the manufacture of all cutting edges. Using this material ensures continued productivity of the machinery for a long time. Cutting edges or blades are usually welded to adapters of commonly used bucket teeth applications of heavy-duty machinery such as dozers, excavators, and more.
Types of Cutting Edges or Blades
A wide variety of cutting edges are available in the market today to suit all machine models and makes.
Loader Cutting Edges
The boron heated steel makes loader cutting edges one of the highest quality direct replacements to worn parts of a loader. The high quality cutting edges works for all models and makes of skid steer loaders, compact track loaders, backhoe loaders, and multi-terrain loaders.
Universal cutting edges
A variety of backhoes, excavators, skid steers, and loaders can find their perfect fit with the universal designed cutting edges. The 400 Brinell hardened steel design of universal cutting edges can be bolted, welded, or drilled as a base edge or onto the machine bucket. The available sizes of universal cutting edges range from 1830mm to 3048mm and thickness from 12mm to 40mm.
Dozer Cutting Edges
Width ranging from 152mm to 480mm and thickness of the blade ranging from 13mm to 60mm are the varieties available from the high-quality and heat-treated Boron cutting edges for dozers.
Scraper cutting edges and routers
The heat-treated Boron steel in manufacturing scraper cutting edges and routers ensures durability and strength. The varied machinery models make, and arrangements find their perfect fit with the available scraper cutting edges available in the market today. The durability and strength in the design of scraper cutting edges reduce downtime and are made to last.
Grader Cutting Edges
Grader cutting edges are designed and manufactured using high-quality boron alloy steel and high carbon steel. It is also available in two models: flat grader and curved cutting edges. Available grader cutting edges out in the market include widths ranging from 152mm to 203mm with the thickness of the blades ranging from 13mm to 25mm.
Machinery and Cutting Edges
Skidsteer
One of the most versatile pieces of equipment to use on a farm, construction project, or a shop is the Skidsteer loader. The different models and makes of this piece of machinery needs the best cutting edges and base edges while on the job. The cutting edges recommended for Skidsteer loaders are the standard type with custom or HD thickness.
Loader
Parts are needed when you own a loader. This includes cutting edges to help move dirt and your business highly mobile. Reducing the wear on the bucket as well as protecting the equipment is achieved with:
- Carbide Tungsten embedded cutting edges
- Cast, Standard, or HD cutting edges
Grader
The scarifier teeth and the ripper of the motor graders work extra hard as soon as it hits the dirt. This means that cutting edges must be:
- Tungsten Carbide Inserted
- HD & Standard
- Tungsten Carbide Embedded
- Serrated
Pieces of machinery such as loaders, skidsteers, compactors, graders, plows, scrapers help to move the earth. The heavy and dirty work these machines do need extra protection such as cutting edges.
