NEW PRODUCT: Auger Boring Disc Cutter Heads

West Salem, Ohio – Expect a long and competitive work life with the Auger Boring Disc Cutter Head by American Augers
Available in sizes from 24 to 60 inches, the Auger Boring Disc Cutter Head is manufactured from high strength steel, which allows for increased durability, and is designed to allow for maximized performance when working in various geological formations, while withstanding the sever loading of mixed face conditions
The retractable cutter head allows for cutter change and service that can be accomplished outside of the heading. The cutter head is mounted to the casing to enhance overall cutter head stability, which allows for longer cutter life. The large diameter of the cutter head permits the head to retract from the face without moving the product casing.
Another benefit is that the 36 inch and larger cutter heads are equipped with power assisted steering jacks to give the operator a sense of comfort in making steering corrections with ease. The 24 inch cutter head is manufactured with mechanically actuated jacks that provide like steering results. The Hex Adapter fits any size or brand of auger boring machine with 3”, 4”, and 5” Hex. In terms of spoils removal the cutter head provides a greater area for quick removal and passage of spoils from the face, which increases cutter life by not allowing cutters to roll over in spoils.
As part of a wide variety of tooling options, the Auger Boring Disc Cutter Head is a full proof way to enhance any auger boring project.
