The trailing edge of a turbine bucket is cut back from a root portion of the bucket to a location 50-75% of the span of the bucket. The cutback portion is tapered, forming an obtuse angle between it and the remaining original portion of the trailing edge outwardly of the cutback portion. A new conical section is thus created of a slightly larger conical and, hence, transverse configuration. The crack is removed upon removal of the material forming the cutback. With the edges of the recreated conical section surrounded, the cutback portion assumes a scalloped configuration with the exit openings of the cooling holes as seen from opposite sides of the bucket.
