<p>A turbine bucket (24) includes an airfoil (42) having a tip shroud (44) , a shank (38) and an entry dovetail (40); a tip shroud seal (46) projecting radially outwardly from the tip shroud and extending continuously between end edges of the tip shroud in a direction of rotation of the airfoil about a turbine axis; a cutter tooth (54) carried by the tip shroud seal for enlarging a groove in an opposing fixed shroud, the cutter tooth having a center point located with reference to X, Y and Z axes, where the X-axis extends axially in an exhaust flow direction; the Y-axis extends in a direction of rotation of the turbine bucket; and the Z-axis extends radially through the intersection of the X and Y axes; wherein the center point is located about 1/2 inch along the Y-axis from the X=0 position, and wherein the Z-axis is located 0.517 inches from an outside edge of a seal pin extending along said entry dovetail, as measured in a direction normal to the shank of the bucket.</p> |
