Look For These Features While Replacing Your Auger Teeth

If you are planning to carry out auger teeth replacement, there are a few things that you should consider carefully to ensure that you are getting the best out of your drilling work. However, some operators do not do due diligence while replacing their teeth and thus they end incurring serious losses and not to mention poor machine performance and low output levels. So what should you look out for to ensure that you are getting the best out of your teeth replacement? Here are some of the features that you should always look out for in an auger teeth replacement:

Premium Quality

The quality of the auger teeth being replaced must be premium. However, most operators are hesitant when it comes to making quality replacement due to the expensive nature. Most of the brands of repute in the market are known to be a little bit pricey, but the amount is worth the quality that they come with.  Quality is essential when it comes to augers, and it is one way that you can be guaranteed of better efficiency, performance and the overall output of the machine. So make sure that your replacement is done using some of the best quality brands that have made a reputation in the market.

To tell whether the quality is one point, there are few things that you need to consider. The most important of all is the quality of the material used in their manufacturing. Due to the nature of conditions that the auger is exposed to, auger teeth should be constructed from the highest grade materials. The tip should always be made from the highest grade of carbide material. For tough drilling, the best carbide material is the tungsten carbide material. The teeth body should be made of high-quality steel material.

Check the Joint          

The condition of the joint is one of the most important things that you need to consider carefully.  You need to ensure that the welding used in joining the tip and that body is capable of withstanding the extreme conditions. Ensure that the quality of the welding technique that has been used is the best in the market. If the joint is not strong, it will be weakened by the generated heat and possibly break. If that is the case, you will have to do different auger teeth replacements with time. Brazing is the best welding technic for joining the tip and the body for the auger teeth.
