JoeM 7,874 #52 Posted March 13, 2021 EB, I use mild steel a36 for cutting edges. Cheep and available. I flip when worn and toss them in the repurpose pile. Of course, we have not had snow the last couple years. Plus , I went to a rubber belting edge and it is wear resistant too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
