James Moore is more of a engineering consultant know running large contracts around the country. Was one of the best contractors to work for and looked after his workers very well with mobile canteens on site with the best of cooks.

Has anyone ever damaged a cutting edge by hanging up on a knob of rock like in the video?? I would imagine if you had a bigger machine or 9's doubled up could either shear the bolts off or worse damage the cutting edge support,anyone have any experience with this??

Stripping overburden in a quarry a lot of years ago we regularly lost a cutting edge or broke a corner off. Some guys on the site would shear an edge off just so they could skive.
