Tooth Bucket Uses

Tooth Bucket Uses

It can be tough to know which part to get if you are changing your bucket teeth and are unsure which brand, model, or system you are replacing.

If you order the wrong item, it will not fit your adaptor, therefore we've designed these five simple steps and a form you can fill out to quickly supply us with the necessary information.

Step 1: Look for a part number on your excavator teeth.

The first step in identifying your bucket teeth is to look for part numbers on them.

The bucket tooth part number is normally found on the top or side of the tooth, although it will have worn away with time, especially if it has been used a lot.

To combat this, some vendors, such as Cutting Edges, insert the part number in a less-prone-to-wear area, such as on the back of the tooth or internally, to help consumers identify components in the future.

If you do find your part number, keep in mind that Cutting Edges and OEM part numbers are usually the same, so you can easily cross-reference them to see if they're the same.

If you cannot find your bucket tooth part number, don’t worry, we can still help you identify which part you are replacing using the remaining steps in this guide.

Step 2: What is the size and/or model of the machine?

Knowing the size or model of the machine on which you're changing your bucket teeth will help you figure out which part to utilize.

There are around 15 different systems that could be used in machines weighing between five and twenty tonnes that require smaller bucket teeth.

However, if you need to replace the bucket teeth on a 100-tonne digger, there are only about six or seven suppliers who service that range, limiting your options. This is due to the fact that those parts require high-quality foundries, supply chains, and manufacturing systems, making them more difficult to produce.

Either way, knowing the size of the machine will help to narrow down and ultimately identify the range of potential bucket tooth parts that you are wanting to replace.

Step 3: How do you lock the teeth in your bucket?

What form of locking system or pin is used to secure your bucket teeth to the adaptor nose is the next question to answer.

The pin will usually go through the side of the tooth base or the top of the tooth base, and by determining which one it is, we can narrow down the probable bucket tooth components you're utilizing even further.

There are also some unique systems that obviate the need to hammer pins, such as Cutting Edges' proprietary R-Lock, and these systems will be clearly detected in Step 4.

Step 4: Take photos and measurements.

We can further rule out several potential bucket teeth by taking photos and key measurements of the back and base of the tooth – that is, the box section where it is rectangular – in our quest to identify yours.

The width and height of the tooth, measured from the exterior to the outside of the casting, as well as the depth of the tooth's box section, are important measurements.

We should be able to figure out the bucket tooth system you're using based on this information.

Step 5: Conduct an audit and make improvements.

After we've figured out which bucket tooth part(s) you're utilizing, we'll be able to see where we can enhance efficiency and cut expenses.

If you're utilizing an OEM item, keep in mind that their tooth could cost five times as much as an aftermarket tooth, owing to the fact that they often make adaptors that only their teeth will fit.

This explains how these businesses can provide adaptors at a low or no cost. They have a monopoly on those adaptors' teeth, and they make money by locking you into their system.

People, on the other hand, often do not want to be reliant on a single provider for stock or service, so they choose to replace their bucket teeth adaptors with more generally accessible bucket teeth right away. Others will schedule an adaptor swap during the next scheduled maintenance.
