Product Description
A JCB tooth point (or bucket tooth) is a replaceable, high-strength alloy steel tip attached to the cutting edge of a backhoe or excavator bucket. They break through hard surfaces like rock or compacted soil, enhancing digging efficiency and protecting the bucket from wear and tear.
Key Aspects of JCB Tooth Points
- Purpose: They improve penetration force, reduce machine strain, and extend the life of the bucket by taking the brunt of the wear.
- Applications: Essential for construction, mining, agriculture, and roadwork, used for digging trenches, loading materials, and clearing debris.
- Material: Usually manufactured from high-strength, heat-treated alloy or carbon steel with a high Rockwell hardness (approx. 48-52 HRC) for maximum durability.
- Attachment: Secured using a pin and lock system (often a bolt-on type), designed for easy replacement when worn down.
- Types: Available in various designs, including standard, heavy-duty, and rock chisels to suit different ground conditions.
