FAQ about How to Choose Correct Tools

Category 1: Product Information & Selection

Q1: What exactly are TCT Cutters, and why are they superior to other types of scarifier blades?

A: TCT stands for Tungsten Carbide Tipped. Our cutters feature a body made from high-strength alloy steel, with durable tungsten carbide tips brazed onto the cutting edges. This combination is superior because:

• Extreme Hardness & Wear Resistance: Tungsten carbide is significantly harder than steel, allowing it to grind through concrete, asphalt, and other hard surfaces with minimal wear.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Instead of replacing the entire blade, you only need to replace the cutter once the tips are worn down. This saves on long-term equipment costs.
• Optimized Performance: The sharp carbide tips provide a clean, aggressive cut, ensuring high productivity and a consistent finish on the prepared surface.

Q2: My scarifier machine is from [Brand X, e.g., EDCO, STOW, Husqvarna]. How can I be sure your cutters will fit my machine's drum?

A: Compatibility is our top priority. We manufacture cutters to precise OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) specifications. You can find the correct cutter for your machine in three ways:

•  
• Cross-Reference Tool: On our product pages, we provide detailed OEM part number cross-references. If you know the part number of your current cutter (e.g., EDCO C-135, STOW 2-12099), you can search for it directly.
• Machine Compatibility List: Our website lists major scarifier brands and models (EDCO, STOW, Blastrac, etc.) and specifies which of our cutter models are designed to fit them.
• Contact Us Directly: If you are unsure, simply contact us with your machine's make, model, and serial number, or a photo of the existing cutter. Our technical team will identify the perfect match for you.

Q3: I see you offer cutters with different shapes (e.g., Arrowhead, Bullet). How do I choose the right one for my job?

A: The cutter shape directly impacts the cutting pattern and finish. Here’s a simple guide:

• Arrowhead Cutters: This is the most common and versatile shape. It provides an aggressive cut ideal for standard surface preparation, coating removal, and leveling uneven concrete.
• Bullet/Nose Cutters: These are designed for smoother finishes. They are excellent for light cleaning, smoothing rough surfaces after initial grinding, or preparing floors for thin toppings.
• Specialty Cutters: We also offer cutters for specific applications, such as enhanced durability for ultra-hard surfaces. Please consult our application guide or contact us for advice on specialized projects.
