Ret-tipping Stump Grinding teeth

[mjbj32]

I am looking to have my teeth re-tipped. I found a company in Michigan Called Wit-Son Quality Tool. Has anybody used them? How did they perform?

If the tooth is in great shape otherwise, I'll have em re tipped but only for our 1635. Our 1675 or any high horsepower grinder will knock those new tips right off. They work fine, not bad for around 5 or 6 bucks a tooth

If the person brazing them is any good, they'll be fine. A good brazed joint is almost as strong as a weld.

The real issue is what the replacement carbide was made for? If it's for cutting metal, the binders aren't designed for the shock loading a grinder sees and you'll fracture the matrix. Carbide isn't a solid material like steel. It's a sintered composite of little crystals of carbide and a bonding alloy which holds it all together. Unless they're getting the tougher carbide designed for stump grinders, the replacements will never be as good as new teeth.
