Cutting Edge, Cutting Edges

David Waine of Con Mech Engineers reached out to me to share a bit about his company Con Mech Engineers, which I am delighted to do, after all, who doesn’t love a new cutting edge on their bucket!

Cutting Edge, Cutting Edges

Con Mech Engineers, is a North East, UK-based manufacturer with over 75 years of engineering expertise, and has been producing high-quality ground engaging tools (GET) since 1949. The company takes pride in being a major UK manufacturer of cutting edges that can boast to being truly “Made in UK”.

The Blademaster range includes a comprehensive selection of cutting edges and end bits designed for various machinery, such as loaders, motor graders, excavators, and dozers.

All Blademaster products are designed and manufactured in the UK, ensuring strict adherence to quality standards. The company utilizes in-house, world class heat treatment and quenching facilities, which are approved to stringent Oil & Gas standards, to guarantee the performance and durability of their products. As they heat treat after processing there are no heat affected zones (HAZ) at the cut edge that are prevalent in parts produced from mill rolled Abrasion Resistant plate. Within the HAZ, hardness is reduced by half, resulting in faster wear at the point where abrasion is most prevalent. Our parts are fully through hardened, even at the edges.

Con Mech Engineers' commitment to quality is further demonstrated by their ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications and also being certified by CAT as an Excellent supplier in their SQEP accreditation. Their team of highly experienced professionals ensures that each product meets the rigorous demands of the construction and earthmoving industries.

In addition to their standard product offerings, Con Mech Engineers provides bespoke solutions tailored to specialized applications. Their adaptable logistics infrastructure enables them to be responsive to customer demands while controlling inventory levels, ensuring timely delivery worldwide.

I have met David on numerous occasions at the trade shows, and I don't think I've ever met anyone as passionate about ground engaging tools as him, why don't you see what Con Mech Engineers can do for you, just tell them Nick sent you!
