It's snowing and raining here today so was able to spend some time in the shop and make some
scarifier teeth for the Bobcat. The new 4 way bucket had holes predrilled for teeth so the remaining
job was to get some teeth made. The material used was 1.125 inch x 1.125 inch cold roll steel.
The home made band saw made short work of cutting the bar into 16 inch pieces and a face
mill was used to angle the tips. I set up the drilling using my home made edge finder and digital
readout. It was a pretty straight forward job and took about two hours.
This is my home made edge finder with a 200 thousandths tip.
This is a photo of my drilling set up.
This is the end product. I needed seven teeth and the last tooth has already been installed
on the Bobcat for fitment.
I'm building a road in the woods and this will be very handy to deal with the many roots along the way.
