All new Bandit machines feature a replaceable raker that bolts to the cutterbody. This raker is easily replaceable and reduces wear on the cutterbody. Rakers are more economical to replace compared to a cutterbody so maintaining these rakers is extremely important. Rakers should be inspected during the cutter head inspection process. Once a raker wears down past the hard facing or to the point where the top of the cutterbody is exposed it will need replaced.
