Heavy-duty NX450 side cutter (side blade) from the GX-AFTER range. This is a protective element designed for permanent installation (welding) on the side edges of excavator and loader buckets. With substantial dimensions of 450 mm length, 74 mm width, and 23 mm thickness, it provides an effective wear barrier for bucket cheeks in larger construction machinery.
GX-AFTER supplies G.E.T. components with optimized metallurgical composition. Our side cutters combine high surface hardness with core toughness, preventing edge chipping when working in rocky ground.
| Machine Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Excavators | Side protection for large digging buckets |
| Backhoe Loaders | Reinforcement for grading and loading buckets |
| Wheel Loaders | Side edge protection (wear plates) |
This is a universal element. Dimensions decide: 450mm length, 74mm width, 23mm thickness.
Installation requires appropriate welding consumables (electrodes or wire for wear-resistant steels). It is also worth checking the condition of the main cutting edge and tooth adapters.
Operating without side cutters leads to thinning of the bucket's structural side plates ("cheeks"). Repairing a damaged bucket side is much more expensive than preemptively welding on new NX450 guards.
The NX450 side cutter acts as a "side knife", facilitating bucket penetration and shielding its sides from friction.

No. NX450 is a solid blade intended for welding. It is not a bolt-on element.
Yes. The blade can be cut to any length to match the bucket side height.
The profile is symmetrical (or simple beveled), allowing installation on both left and right sides of the bucket.
