CATEGORY OVERVIEW
What Are Bucket Teeth?
Bucket teeth are the replaceable cutting points mounted on an excavator bucket. They take the wear that would otherwise damage the bucket lip, and are replaced once the point is worn or broken. This category lists standard tooth references identified by source model or brand label. The photographs show tooth form only; tooth size, pin or retainer connection and adapter fit must be confirmed before ordering. Selection depends on the material being handled, machine size and bucket arrangement. Drawings, part numbers and existing tooth dimensions are reviewed for each inquiry, and custom profiles can be produced from a drawing or sample.

Excavator bucket teeth by machine class
Excavator bucket teeth are consumable: the point is meant to wear, and the change interval is set by the machine class, the ground and the way the bucket is worked. A tooth that is too light for the machine wears through early or breaks at the root; one that is too heavy cannot be driven into the material, so penetration drops and the machine works harder for the same bucket.
The bands below are a shortlist, not a fitment. The model on the machine plate and the part number on the worn tooth decide the reference; the band only narrows what is worth comparing.
| Machine class | What changes in the tooth | What to send |
|---|---|---|
| Mini and compact, roughly 1-6 t | Narrow point and small wear volume; the holder is small, so a wrong nose costs more than the tooth | Machine model, tooth length and width, photograph of the worn tooth on the holder |
| Mid-size, roughly 6-13 t | Balanced volume and penetration; the same bucket may run standard or rock forms depending on the ground | Model, part number and the material being dug |
| Standard excavator, roughly 13-25 t | Wear volume per change matters more than penetration; centre and corner positions wear at different rates | Position along the lip, part number, and how the current teeth fail |
| Large, roughly 25 t and above | Impact and heat at the point rise, so a lost or broken tooth costs production time rather than only the part | Machine model, adapter condition, photographs of failed teeth |
The class bands describe machine size in general terms. They are not a statement of the tonnage of any listed reference.
Bucket teeth types: standard, rock, tiger and flat
Four profiles cover most excavator work, and the choice follows the ground rather than the machine size. Standard teeth carry the most wear volume for general digging in soil, clay and mixed material. Rock teeth add section behind the point for abrasive, compacted or broken ground. Tiger teeth use a narrow point for penetration in hard, compacted or frozen ground, at the cost of wear volume. Flat or blunt profiles are used where the bucket scrapes and levels rather than digs, because surface work wears a sharp point away quickly.
Mixing profiles across one bucket is normal practice: pointed or tiger profiles at the corners where penetration is hardest, standard or rock through the centre where durability matters more. The connection has to be identical across those positions, so the adapter and pin system are confirmed before profiles are mixed.
What US operators call them
The same part is ordered under several names. Dirt teeth, digger teeth and bucket tooth all describe the tooth fitted to an excavator or loader bucket; point, tip and tooth are used interchangeably in the field, and excavator teeth is the plural form used for a set. The catalog lists them as bucket teeth, and the profile name - standard, rock, sharp or tiger - is what actually separates one reference from another.
Where the name used on site is not on this page, the part number or a photograph with a ruler is enough to identify the reference. The name alone does not settle the fit, and it should not be converted into a size.
Regional usage differs between digger, excavator and dirt teeth, but the profile and the connection are what an order is built on.
Tooth systems: pin-on, weld-on and bolt-on
Three connection families appear on excavator buckets. A pin-on system uses an adapter fixed to the lip and a pin through the tooth nose, with a retainer holding the pin in place, which is the arrangement that allows a tooth to be changed on site. A weld-on adapter is a base welded to the lip with the tooth pinned to it. A bolt-on tooth or base is fastened through a plate or a prepared pad, so it can be changed without welding.
The system decides what a replacement has to match: nose width and length, pin hole diameter and position, and the retaining detail. The catalog does not state a connection system for each reference, so the existing part - or a photograph of the nose with the tooth removed - is what a reference is confirmed against.
Pins, retainers and fastenings are separate items unless the quotation states that they are included.

SELECTION GUIDE
How to Select the Right Part
Four steps are usually enough to confirm a replacement reference.
- Identify equipment brand
Start from the machine make and model shown on the machine plate.
- Confirm machine model
Match the model and, where possible, the bucket arrangement.
- Check the existing part number
Read the reference from the worn part or from the parts book.
- Send photo or drawing if unsure
Provide photographs or measurements so the part can be reviewed.
BEFORE YOU INQUIRE
Frequently Asked
Questions
How do I identify the correct standard bucket tooth?
Start with the machine model and the part number stamped on the tooth, then confirm the tooth size, the pin or retainer type and the adapter it sits on. Photographs of the worn tooth beside the bucket lip usually settle an uncertain reference, because tooth position and wear pattern rule out sizes that measure close.
Which tooth size should I order - is a bigger tooth always better?
Tooth size has to suit the machine and the bucket, not the other way round. A tooth that is too large adds metal the bucket cannot drive through, so penetration drops and friction rises; a tooth that is too small is loaded beyond its section and tends to be lost or broken. Send the machine model and the current tooth dimensions so the size can be matched.
Is a standard tooth enough, or should I order rock teeth instead?
Standard teeth suit general digging in soil, clay and mixed material, and they carry more wear volume than a pointed profile. Where the ground is abrasive, compacted or broken rock, a rock profile holds its shape longer. Describe the material and how the current teeth fail, and a profile can be recommended from the listed references.
Can standard and pointed teeth be fitted on the same bucket?
Yes, and it is common practice to run pointed profiles on the corner positions where penetration is hardest and standard teeth along the centre where durability matters more. The connection has to be identical across those positions, so confirm the adapter and pin system before mixing profiles.
How can I tell a worn-out standard tooth from one that is simply blunt?
A standard tooth wears back along its length while holding a usable edge; when the tip rounds off and stops cutting, digging effort rises and production drops, which is the point to change it. Measure the remaining length against a new tooth, and check the adapter nose at the same time, because a tooth that still moves with a correct pin fitted points to a worn nose rather than a worn tooth.
Do you supply replacement teeth for CAT, Komatsu and Volvo references?
References listed in this category carry CAT, Komatsu, Volvo, DAEWOO, SANY, Lonking and SDLG labels. Brand and model names identify the catalog reference an entry was sourced from and do not imply affiliation; fit is confirmed from your part number, tooth dimensions and connection details.
