An adapter includes a first leg, a second leg, and a throat portion that define a slot defining a direction of assembly onto a work implement assembly, a lateral direction that is perpendicular to the direction of assembly, and a vertical direction that is perpendicular to the direction of assembly and the lateral direction. The throat portion further includes a first throat side surface disposed along the lateral direction and a second throat side surface disposed on the opposite side of the throat portion along the lateral direction. The first throat side surface defines a first adapter cover receiving recess.

A wear member comprising: a housing defining a passageway therethrough and having a longitudinal axis, the housing comprising a housing cavity formed therein, fully recessed from an inner surface of the housing, and opening into the passageway; an insert slidably located within the passageway and defining a longitudinal clearance between the inner surface of the housing and the insert, the insert comprising an insert cavity formed therein, fully recessed from an outer surface of the insert and opening into the passageway; brazing material filling the longitudinal clearance and extending transversely to the longitudinal axis into the housing cavity and insert cavity to provide an axially resistive force against axial movement of the insert relative to the housing in addition to any bonding of the brazing material to the insert and the housing.

A tool bit comprises a shank portion defining a longitudinal axis; and a working portion. The working portion includes at least a first arcuate surface disposed longitudinally adjacent the shank portion.

A wear assembly for earth working equipment including a wear member including an exterior surface, an opening to receive a separable component, and a hole extending from the external surface to the opening. A lock in the hole to secure the separable component to the wear member, wherein the lock includes a collar and a pin that is adjustable within the collar so that the pin is movable inward to retain the separable component and movable outward to release the separable component. A magnet to secure the collar in the hole. The lock may pivot outwardly into the hole.

A tool bit comprises a shank portion including a cylindrical configuration defining a longitudinal axis, a radial direction, and a circumferential direction, and a working portion including a cylindrical configuration that is concentric with the shank portion and a flat bottom surface.

A wear resistant component (1) includes a matrix portion (10) made of metal, and a framework portion (20) that is embedded in the matrix portion (10) and is higher in hardness than the matrix portion (10). The framework portion (20) has a three-dimensional lattice structure formed with a plurality of bar-shaped members 31, and has a shape that follows a shape of at least a portion of a surface (11-18, 10C) of the matrix portion (10).

Microtrenching blades and methods of manufacturing the same. A blade includes a blade body comprising a cutting edge, wherein the cutting edge is disposed around a perimeter of the blade body. The blade includes a center arbor bore defining a hole through the blade body, wherein the blade rotates about an axis of rotation disposed in the center arbor bore. The blade includes a plurality of cutters attached to the cutting edge. The blade is such that the cutting edge is separated into a plurality of blade segments, and further such that the plurality of blade segments each comprises two or more of the plurality of cutters.

Microtrenching blades and methods of manufacturing the same. A blade includes a blade body comprising a cutting edge, wherein the cutting edge is disposed around a perimeter of the blade body, and wherein the cutting edge comprises a centerline and a width. The blade comprises a plurality of cutters attached to the cutting edge. The blade is such that three or more of the plurality of cutters are each attached to the cutting edge of the blade body at a different position relative to the centerline of the cutting edge of the blade body.

A wear resistant component includes a matrix portion made of metal, and a core that is embedded in the matrix portion and is higher in hardness than the matrix portion. The core has a shape that follows a shape of at least a portion of a surface of the matrix portion.

A method of manufacturing a wear member assembly that includes a sheet metal member and a rigid member is provided. The method comprises forming the sheet metal member to a first configuration, and casting or machining the rigid member to a second configuration.
