Vent: A job on the Mississippi near St. Louis completely changed how I check my cutterhead
Honestly, we were pulling up a lot of weird, twisted metal and old cable that had been down there for years. My foreman, a guy named Carl, told me to stop the pump and just look at the teeth for five minutes after every two hours of runtime. Ngl, I thought it was a waste of time. But after we found a piece of rebar that had cracked three teeth and nearly wrecked the drive shaft, I do it every single shift now. Anyone else have a specific schedule for cutter checks on tough material?
