The company has a partnership
with BETEK GmbH & Co. KG, one of
the foremost global manufacturers
of wear parts incorporating tungsten
carbide. The revolutionary .990 Dirt
Tooth is designed by Jeffrey Machine
and manufactured in partnership with
BETEK. This unique tooth is engineered
for use with a multi-purpose
type auger equipped with a .990 TRIHolder.
The versatile TRI-Holder is
uniquely designed to accommodate
three different types of teeth: the new
.990 Dirt Tooth; the Standard .990
Tooth (known in the industry as C-31)
and Jeffrey Machine’s exclusive .990
Dragon’s Tooth.
Proprietary to Jeffrey Machine, the
.990 Tooth is unique in that the shank
of the tooth will fit in a C-30 holder (or
pocket), which is machined in-house
from 4140 high tensile steel. The benefit
of this interchangeability is that
it allows contractors to move easily
from a project in a rocky environment
that requires a conical rock tooth or
Dragon’s tooth, to one in a non-rocky
condition using the .990 Dirt Tooth in
the same tool. This helps significantly
reduce project set-up time, as well
as costs that would result from the
need to transport multiple augers to
project locations.
Development of each innovative
Jeffrey Machine product is the result
of extensive field study and an enduring
commitment to improve the safety
and performance of every product
constantly. Working side-by-side
with their customers, Jeffrey Machine
creates drilling tools with enhanced
capabilities as unique as the demands
of each job. Jeffrey Machine offers
a comprehensive line of auger tooling
manufactured to ensure optimal
performance under the most demanding
drilling conditions. At the heart
of this manufacturer of some of the
world’s toughest tooling is a precision
machine shop that is small enough to
continue providing exceptional, personal
service.
“My father expected excellence
every day from employees and in every
piece of tooling that left the factory. He
set the bar high for us and I expect the
same results from the employees and
tools we manufacture today. With that
in place, I feel like the future is bright,”
said Jeffrey.
