🔨Reversible — two edges per blade
📘 Overview
A Star Industries bolt on cutting edge protects the leading edge of a bucket and extends its life around three times. The blade is 5/8 inch by 8 inch double bevel, which means it is reversible — when one edge wears, unbolt it, turn it over and use the second. Six widths cover 60 to 95 inch buckets, and every one ships with the fasteners needed to fit it. It bolts to the punched holes already in the beveled hard carbon steel leading edge of a Star bucket, so no drilling or welding is required and it can be added at any time rather than specified at purchase.

🔑 Why Buyers Choose the Star Industries Bolt-On Blade
- Reversible means two edges for one price — a double bevel blade is used, unbolted, turned over and used again. That is what makes a bolt-on edge cheaper per hour than a welded one.
- Around three times the bucket edge life — the blade is a sacrificial part taking the wear that would otherwise consume the bucket lip. When the bucket lip goes, the bucket goes with it.
- It bolts to holes that are already there — Star bucket leading edges are punched for this, so fitting needs a spanner rather than a drill or a welder, and it can be done on site.
- Add it whenever you decide to — because the holes are already in the bucket, a plain bucket bought two seasons ago takes a blade today without modification.
- Fasteners come with the blade — 5/8 inch plow bolts with nylon locking nuts, sized and counted for the width, so nothing else needs sourcing before it can be fitted.

🔗 Blades, Fasteners and Related Wear Parts
Every bolt-on blade ships with its fasteners — 2 1/2 by 5/8 inch plow bolts with 5/8 inch hex nylon locking nuts, part BOB-01, sized and counted for the width. Star also stocks weld-on blades in 3/4 by 6 inch section, both plain and punched with holes on 6 inch centres, for buckets where a welded edge is preferred. Bolt-on side cutters, part LP-SC for standard buckets and XD-SC for extreme duty buckets, protect the bucket corners and are sold as a pair.
🚜 Which Buckets Fit This Bolt On Cutting Edge?
The blade bolts to the punched leading edge of a Star bucket, so the fitment check is bucket width rather than machine. Match the model to your bucket: BOB60 for a 60 inch bucket through to BOB95 for a 95 inch bucket. It fits both skid steer buckets and forklift buckets in matching widths — the same blade suits an LP22A dirt bucket, a UT31 utility bucket or a 1496 forklift bucket at the same nominal width. No drilling or welding is required.
| Requirement | Detail |

| Fits | Star skid steer and forklift buckets with punched leading edges |
| Match on | Bucket width — BOB60 through BOB95 |
| Fitting | Bolts to existing punched holes; no drilling or welding |
| Fasteners | Included, part BOB-01 |
| Reversible | Yes — double bevel, turn over when the first edge wears |
❓ Star Industries Bolt-On Blade Questions, Answered
How much extra life does a bolt-on blade give?
Around three times the wear of an unprotected bucket edge. The blade is a sacrificial part that takes the wear which would otherwise consume the bucket lip, and when the lip goes the bucket goes with it.
What does reversible mean on a cutting edge?
The blade is a double bevel section, so both long edges are cutting edges. When the first wears, unbolt the blade, turn it over and fit it the other way round. That is two edges from one blade.
Which size do I need?
Match the model to your bucket width: BOB60 for a 60 inch bucket, BOB66 for 66, BOB72 for 72, BOB78 for 78, BOB84 for 84 and BOB95 for 95. Bolt hole count rises with width from 10 to 16.
Do I need to drill or weld to fit it?
No. Star bucket leading edges are punched for exactly this, so the blade bolts to holes that are already there. Fitting needs a spanner, and it can be done on site.
Are the bolts included?
Yes. Every blade ships with its fasteners — 2 1/2 by 5/8 inch plow bolts with 5/8 inch hex nylon locking nuts, sized and counted for the width.
Can I add a blade to a bucket I already own?
Yes, provided it has a punched leading edge. Because the holes are already there, a plain bucket bought seasons ago can take a blade today without modification.
Will it fit a forklift bucket as well as a skid steer bucket?
Yes. The same blade fits both in matching widths — an LP22A dirt bucket, a UT31 utility bucket or a 1496 forklift bucket at the same nominal width all take the same blade.
Is a welded edge available instead?
Yes. Star stocks weld-on blades in 3/4 by 6 inch section, both plain and punched with holes on 6 inch centres, for buckets where a welded edge is preferred over a bolt-on one.
What about protecting the bucket corners?
Bolt-on side cutters are available as a pair — part LP-SC for standard buckets and XD-SC for extreme duty buckets. The corners take the first contact when working against a face or wall.
