FAQ'S:

Should I install single edge or double edge cutting edges?

Because bucket wear is usually most severe in the corners, Kenco recommends single edge center blades, and double edge end blades. Frequently, single edge center blades will wear just about the same length of time as double edge end blades, with rotation.

What can be done to fight severe outside corner wear on end blades?

When severe outside corner wear on end blades is a problem, try Kenco Corner Wear Pattern end blades.
