Evening people . I just wanted to know the best / cheapest place to buy the old style finger teeth for a stump grinder . The last set I bought in 2009 was £1.05 per tooth but I cant find the same supplier and have forgot the company name :blushing:Any help would be cool .

Last year I bough a load (60) of teeth for about £1.00 each - cant remember exact amount but they were very cheap. Guess what.. they were rubbish. Apart from very poor brazing dribbled all around the tips they had to be lightly ground to fit into the half inch pockets. Someone warned me about cheap teeth beforehand, now I know. Also several of the teeth bent, some snapped and on some the carbide tips actually broke!

The supplier told me I must have been doing something wrong with the grinder! Never happened with any other teeth in six years.

If you are still interested I got them from Global Recycling 0870 7708540. I did get a full refund in the end but they were reluctant - Cheap is often more expensive (in the long run)

They the bandit dealers?

 

At a £1 a tooth its very cheap you can hardly buy the tungsten tips for that price.

Dean the teeth on your machine are strange . Never seen them before :001_smile:

 

Shane Suppose your right may cost more in the long run .

 

Mesterh Not worth retipping . I remember someone saying they had teeth from china at a quid each and just through them away after use :thumbup:
