Bucket cutting edge

admin

I used to buy bucket cutting edge at Adirondack Road Materials. They are gone. Last bucket, I bought AR steel & cut my own bevel, that is a big job with my equipment. I'd like to buy 1 x 6 beveled edge, 25" long, in Manganese, or AR or whatever works best.I'm in VT, but near NY State. I have a son near Saratoga NY.An optimist is usually wrong, and when the unexpected happens is unprepared. A pessimist is usually right, when wrong, is delighted, and well prepared.
Reply:Get a wornout D-4 or equivalent cutting edge and make your own. It's easier to cut the bevel on.MikeOl' Stonebreaker  "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes"Hobart G-213 portableMiller 175 migMiller thunderbolt ac/dc stick Victor O/A setupMakita chop saw
Reply:Too bad you are not closer. I have 3 unused 5' Cat cutting edges. I'd give you one.ChrisAuction Addict
Reply:Whenever I've had to do a custom bucket repair/replacement I went to the nearest Cat dealer and perused the current GET (ground engaging tools) catalog and almost always found the parts/pieces that were close to what I needed for the project. If I used Cat shanks and tips on another makers machine I would stamp the part numbers on a piece of 10 ga. steel and weld it to the bucket in an area where it wouldn't be defaced (hopefully).
Reply:You might check your local machine shops.  Mine stock multiple sizes and thicknesses of cutting edge for their own rebuild jobs, and I just buy from them.
