Cat® cutting edges and end bits are designed to help you get the most from your equipment. All Cat cutting edge systems help you lower your cost per hour, decrease downtime, and move material more effectively.
To help you find the perfect option for your equipment, here is our quick guide to Cat cutting edges for dozers, wheel loaders, and motor graders.
Choosing the proper Cat dozer cutting edge will equip your machine for optimum performance and service. All Cat cutting edge systems are designed to move more material longer with less downtime or lower cost per hour, with features suited for various applications and dozer sizes. Here are a few popular cutting edge categories for Cat dozers.
All Cat cutting edges are built from through-hardened DH-2 or DH-3 steel for maximum strength, wear life, and breakage resistance. Edges come in sections for easy handling, storage, installation, and turning.
Precision cutting edges offer up to 40% more wear material, resulting in lower cost per working hour. These edges feature built-in wear indicators to ensure you know when to flip your edges to avoid costly blade repairs. This system is ideal for D1 – D5 dozers.
Cat Performance Cutting Edges are designed for more demanding applications, with up to 35% increase in payload mass and 17% greater productivity over standard production cutting edges. This system balances enhanced penetration with long wear life.
The new Cat High Abrasion Cast cutting edges maximize machine uptime in the most abrasive applications and deliver higher productivity. The new high abrasion end bits are now complemented by cast high-abrasion cutting edges for up to 40% longer wear life.
Cat cutting edges are designed for enhanced wear life and breakage resistance with a special steel alloy construction that can endure two times the heat and pressure of traditional cutting edges. These edges are available in different thickness options for a variety of wheel loader machine sizes. As a rule, the thicker the edge, the longer the wear life.
Here are some of the main wheel loader edge options:
Cat offers a wide range of cutting edges for motor graders, each with specific benefits for different applications. The three biggest factors to consider when choosing a cutting edge are shape, width, and thickness. An edge’s width and thickness will determine how much wear material is available, while the shapes suit different job types. The two basic cutting edge shapes are flat and curved, with serrated options available for both shapes. Some cutting edges utilize bit systems or tungsten-carbide inserts for additional edge life or penetration benefits.
Cat cutting edge bit systems feature individual cutting tips that create a serrated edge. Bits offer a variety of advantages depending on the type of bits and the grading conditions, such as increased wear life compared to steel edges, customizability, and replaceability.
