What Makes the Original Joma® 6000 Cutting Edge Different
Most cutting edges are one rigid piece of steel or carbide. The original Joma® 6000 is built differently. It’s made of short sections that each move on their own. That lets the edge follow the road instead of riding over the high spots.
How the Joma® 6000 works
Each section holds 1-inch-tall tungsten carbide inserts set in steel segments. The segments are wrapped in rubber, so each one can flex on its own as the road changes. The design took 10 years to develop. The rubber works like a shock absorber. It keeps vibration from reaching the cab. It also cushions the carbide inserts when the edge hits a bump or other obstacle in the road. That helps protect the inserts from chips and cracks.
Carbide backer blades sit behind the sections. They protect the moldboard and back up the edge if a section wears through. Clamp bars hold everything in place.

Everything for a full blade change ships in one crate, under one part number.

What crews notice
Longer wear life
The Joma® 6000 has a 2x WearFactor, so it lasts twice as long as a standard carbide edge.
Less vibration and noise
The rubber soaks up chatter, so the cab is quieter and drivers finish a shift less worn out. It also means less wear on the plow and the truck.
Cleaner roads
The sections follow dips and crowns in the pavement, so they leave less snow and ice behind.
Less salt
Most users report using up to 30% less salt, because the edge scrapes more of the road clean.
Easier blade changes
One person can change a Joma® section, while a full-length steel blade usually takes two. If a section gets damaged, you replace only that section. Watch the installation video to see how it goes together.
Where it fits
The Joma® 6000 fits straight, reversible, one-way, wing, tow and underbody plows. It works with any plow width that uses a Standard Highway Punch (SHP), even long tow plows. It’s built for high-speed plowing on highways and city roads, whether they’re asphalt, concrete or chip seal. Run the plow at a 65° to 75° attack angle to get the most from the edge.
Results from the field
