WS39 casing teeth: what to include in a replacement enquiry

DRILLNOVA · Technical guide · Updated

Match the WS39 tooth profile, holder seat and pins before ordering. List teeth, holders and retaining parts separately so the quotation defines a complete supply scope.

01

Match the tooth profile and mounting holes

Show front, rear and side views. Use the selected drawing or an identified unused part to check hole diameters, spacing, seating surfaces and cutting-edge projection.

A worn cutting edge is useful service evidence, but it should not define the original replacement profile.

Use the dimensions to identify the part, then inspect the joint

WS39 catalogue reference — dimensions in mm
Drawing featureValueCheck on the existing assembly
Overall height109.5Compare an unused tooth or drawing; the worn tip shortens the measurement.
Front-view width68Check the selected tooth profile against the holder and adjacent positions.
Side-view depth41.5Check how the tooth sits in the holder; a similar front view can hide a different seat.
Top carbide call-outØ15Identify the cutting inserts separately from the fixing features.
Lower carbide-button call-outØ11Identifies the button seen in the side view; this is not a fixing-hole or pin diameter.
  1. Clean the seat before fitting. Packed soil or a burr can hold a replacement tooth away from the bearing surface.
  2. Inspect the old pin and hole together. Look for ovality, a bent pin, cracked holder edges or a retaining feature that no longer engages.
  3. Check the assembled fit. Confirm full seating and retention using the selected pin and holder. Reusing the old pin is a separate decision from reusing the holder.

These catalogue dimensions identify the illustrated tooth. The holder and pin drawing supplies the fit tolerances and retention requirements.

02

Check the holder and the actual retaining parts

Photograph the holder seat and holes, including deformation or wear. Add the pin diameter, working length and retention arrangement from the selected part drawing.

List the required pins and quantities separately, with the selected holder and retention reference.

03

Make the parts list unambiguous

List WS39 teeth, holders and pins on separate lines, with quantity and drawing reference for each. Add casing diameter, wall thickness and the tooth position on the complete shoe.

Labels such as Standard, R or T should refer to a specific design. State material and hardness requirements separately, including test method and location where applicable.
