Bucket Teeth

Types of Bucket Teeth

No matter the shape of the teeth, they&#;ll be made of either cast or forged metal. Because casting metal is less labor-intensive, it provides high cost-effectiveness. Manufacturers often cast teeth to be self-sharpening.

Chisel Teeth

If you&#;re doing a variety of tasks with your machine, chisel teeth are a great choice. Chisel teeth specialize in providing good leverage for most loading and landscaping jobs. These are considered the &#;jack-off-all-trades&#; teeth.  Unfortunately, chisel teeth don&#;t hold up well with more demanding jobs. Their penetration ability is modest, making them less than optimal for digging into stone and hard ground.

Single and Twin-Tiger Teeth

For more specialized jobs, single and twin tiger teeth provide the best penetration. Single tiger teeth come to a fierce point and look like a sharp tooth (hence the name). They provide more substantial penetration than chisel teeth. However, they have a lot of wear surface, meaning they have weaker wear resistance over time. Twin tiger teeth, as you might assume, fork out into two points. They have the strongest penetration of all chisel types, and because the work isn&#;t fixed on one point, they have a longer wear life than single tiger teeth. However, the trade-off for twin tiger teeth is less leverage for your machine.

Rock Chisel Teeth

When dealing with challenging surfaces, rock chisel teeth are your best bet. They provide excellent leverage and incredible wear resistance. These teeth are usually made with highly durable materials like alloy steel with molybdenum. They are self sharpening, meaning they won&#;t degrade over time like other types of teeth. Naturally, this efficiency usually comes at a higher cost.

 

Finding The Right Replacement Bucket Teeth

Depending on the machine and the type of work you do, the perfect replacement teeth will be different. Getting the right kind for the job (and checking the size of the roll pin and shank) are crucial considerations. If you are unsure of which replacement teeth to get, contact DMC Wear Parts&#; aftermarket specialists, and they will help you find the perfect fit for the job.

How to choose the right excavator teeth

In order to get the most out of your machine and excavator bucket, it is very important that you choose the right Ground Engaging Tools (GET) to suit the application. Here are the top 4 key factors you need to keep in mind when choosing the right excavator teeth for your application.

Unfortunately, when you purchase your excavator buckets, you are generally limited to the tooth and adapter systems supplied by the particular bucket manufacturer. Some of these manufacturers fit the cheapest excavator teeth to the buckets in order to get to the cheapest price or make the most profit, rather than tooth systems that work efficiently.

Maintaining sharp excavator teeth will help increase productivity and reduce the stress on your machine, protecting your machine and excavator bucket and resulting in longer machine life and reducing maintenance costs.

Both the design and fitment of the bucket teeth is very important to their lifespan, performance and application.

With the greater emphasis from a number of GET wholesalers being on price, some manufacturers have to reduce the quality of their products in order to meet these price demands. These reductions result in poorer quality of the cast steel, the fitment of the moulds and shorter heat treatment processes so they are not as hard or abrasion resistant.

All manufacturing short-cuts result in the teeth and adapters being of poor fitment, break easily and wear prematurely. When selecting the best excavator teeth for your application, you should keep in mind these 4 factors. The right excavator teeth could make all the difference!
