6 Inch Bolt-On Cutting Edges for Construction Equipment
6 inch bolt-on cutting edges are used as replaceable cutting edges on excavator buckets, wheel loader buckets, grader blades, dozer blades and other ground-engaging attachments. They protect the base structure from wear and allow worn cutting edges to be replaced without welding.
The products in this category feature a 6 inch hole pattern with 152.4 mm hole spacing and are available with bolt holes for 5/8", 3/4" or 1" plow bolts depending on the configuration.
- Pre-drilled bolt-on cutting edges and blades
- 6 inch hole spacing (152.4 mm)
- Bolt hole configurations for different plow bolt diameters
- For excavator buckets, wheel loader buckets, graders and blades

Replaceable Cutting Edges for Repair and Maintenance
Bolt-on cutting edges are among the most widely used wear components in earthmoving, road construction, recycling and material handling applications. Unlike weld-on cutting edges, they are attached using bolts and nuts and can be replaced when worn. This allows the attachment structure to remain intact and simplifies maintenance planning.
The parent category Wear Bars, Cutting Edges & Wear Profiles also includes wear bars, weld-on cutting edges, grader blades, wear profiles and additional wear protection components for construction equipment.
Understanding 6 Inch Hole Spacing and Bolt Hole Diameter
A common mistake when selecting bolt-on cutting edges is confusing hole spacing with bolt hole diameter. The 6 inch specification refers exclusively to the spacing between the holes and corresponds to exactly 152.4 mm. The bolt hole diameter must also be checked, as different cutting edges are designed for 5/8", 3/4" or 1" plow bolts.
When Bolt-On Cutting Edges Are Preferred
Bolt-on cutting edges are commonly used where cutting edges are expected to be replaced periodically. The worn component can be removed and replaced without welding, helping to protect the attachment structure. For applications requiring welded cutting edges, please refer to Wear Bars & Cutting Edges or Wear Bars & Cutting Edges Cut to Size.
Available Dimensions
This category includes standard cutting edges with widths of 152 mm, 203 mm, 254 mm and 330 mm and material thicknesses from 16 mm to 30 mm. For applications requiring non-standard lengths, please see Cut-to-Size 6 Inch Bolt-On Cutting Edges.
Machine-Specific and Application-Specific Categories
Additional categories are available for CAT Bolt-On Cutting Edges, Komatsu Bolt-On Cutting Edges, Volvo Bolt-On Cutting Edges, Liebherr Bolt-On Cutting Edges, Grader Blades and Bolt-On Grader Blades.
Matching fasteners can be found in the Bolts & Nuts category.
Workshop Tip
Before replacing a bolt-on cutting edge, always verify not only the width and thickness but also the hole spacing, bolt hole diameter and bolt type. Older buckets and blades may have been fitted with different cutting edge configurations during previous repairs or rebuilds.
Frequently Asked Questions About 6 Inch Bolt-On Cutting Edges
What does 6 inch mean on a bolt-on cutting edge?
The 6 inch specification refers to the hole spacing of the bolt pattern. The exact spacing is 152.4 mm.
