6 Inch Reversible Bolt-On Cutting Edges – Cut to Size

Custom-Length Reversible Bolt-On Cutting Edges

Reversible bolt-on cutting edges are used as replaceable wear components on excavator buckets, wheel loader buckets, grader blades and other ground-engaging attachments. The cut-to-size products in this category are intended for repair work, rebuild projects and applications where a standard blade length cannot be used.

The parent category Wear Bars, Cutting Edges & Wear Profiles includes wear bars, weld-on cutting edges, bolt-on cutting edges, grader blades, wear profiles and additional wear protection components for construction equipment.

Why Reversible Cutting Edges Are Used

A reversible cutting edge is designed with two usable cutting edges. Once the first edge reaches its wear limit, the blade can be removed, turned over and installed again. Replacement is only required after both cutting edges have been worn.

This design is commonly used where cutting edges are replaced regularly and where a bolted solution is preferred over welding.

Understanding 6 Inch Hole Spacing and Bolt Hole Diameter

The 6 inch specification refers to the spacing of the bolt pattern and equals exactly 152.4 mm. The bolt hole diameter must be checked separately, as different blade configurations are designed for 5/8", 3/4" or 1" plow bolts.

Hole spacing and bolt hole diameter describe different characteristics and should always be verified independently during selection.

Available Dimensions and Bolt Configurations

This category includes reversible bolt-on cutting edges in dimensions of 152x16 mm, 203x19 mm, 254x25 mm, 330x30 mm and 330x40 mm. Depending on the version, bolt hole configurations are available for 5/8", 3/4" and 1" plow bolts.

When Is a Cut-to-Size Blade Required?

A custom-length cutting edge is required when a standard blade length does not match the existing attachment or when the geometry of the bucket or blade requires a specific length.

For standard-length products, please refer to the category 6 Inch Bolt-On Cutting Edges.

Bolt-On or Weld-On Cutting Edge?

Reversible bolt-on cutting edges are mechanically fastened and can be replaced or turned over when worn. Weld-on cutting edges are permanently attached to the base structure.

For welded cutting edges, please see Wear Bars & Cutting Edges. If custom lengths are required, suitable products can be found in Wear Bars & Cutting Edges Cut to Size.

Measure Before Replacement

Before ordering, verify the blade length, width, thickness, hole spacing, bolt hole diameter and bolt type. Older buckets and blades may have been fitted with different cutting edge configurations during previous repairs.

Accurate measurements help ensure proper fitment and reduce installation work.

Frequently Asked Questions About Reversible Bolt-On Cutting Edges

What is a reversible bolt-on cutting edge?

A reversible bolt-on cutting edge is a replaceable blade that can be turned over and used on both cutting edges before replacement is required.

What does a 6 inch hole pattern mean?

The 6 inch specification describes the spacing between the bolt holes. The exact technical spacing is 152.4 mm.

When is a cut-to-size blade required?

A cut-to-size blade is required when the standard blade length does not match the attachment or when a specific custom length is needed.

What should be checked besides blade length?

Hole spacing, bolt hole diameter, width, thickness and bolt type should also be verified before ordering.

What is the difference between a reversible bolt-on cutting edge and a weld-on cutting edge?

A reversible bolt-on cutting edge is mechanically fastened and can be replaced or turned over. A weld-on cutting edge is permanently welded to the attachment.
