Replacing carbide tips on stumpy teeth

[Shane]

Has anyone done this?

Is it economically viable?

I have about 40 multi-tip teeth which are worn to a point where you would die of boredom or wear ot the greenstone wheel before recovering a decent edge.

 

I've seen the tips advertised but not sure my brazing skills would be up to it.

 

Maybe nothing to lose given the alternaitive cost of replacement.

 

PS I know such costs are added into the grinding charge but I can't bring myself to chuck out (or even lift, come to that) all those expensive teggies.

 

Anyone???

if you are going to get carbide from a supplier get it already tinned as it doesn't like to be brazed that well you need a fancy flux to do it i believe or change to green teeth which is a cheaper system to run i think but maybe not as productive

I've imported carbide tips from Germany and got a local engineers workshop to braze them on ,they were for a sandvik durodisk ,the teeth cost around £14 here the inserts and brazing came to around £7 total so worth doing ,I do 50 at a time which makes sense carriage wise from Germany.

Do sandvik tips fit on a Multi-tip tooth? They look so wide.

No ,but I think he supplies other tips or other suppliers do.

I was explaining how it can work out cheaper if you buy in quantity,the sandvik teeth are expensive I don't know how much the multitip ones are as I've never used them,always been more than happy with the speed that a sandvik wheel demolishes a stump!!
