Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation
	The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited and are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation on a going concern basis of the results of operations, cash flows and financial position for all periods presented have been made. All such adjustments made are of a normal recurring nature. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Ultimate realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the future could differ from those estimates.
	These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

	Acquisition of Mining Technologies International Inc.
	On May 30, 2014, we closed on the purchase of certain assets of Mining Technologies International Inc. ("MTI") for $44.4 million dollars. MTI is a Canadian manufacturer of underground hard rock mining equipment serving the North American markets and a world leading supplier of raise bore drilling consumables. We acquired substantially all of the assets associated with MTI’s hard rock drilling, loaders, dump trucks, shaft sinking and raise bore product lines. MTI's results of operations have been included in the accompanying financial statements as part of the Underground segment from the acquisition date forward.
	In connection with the acquisition, we recorded goodwill of approximately $0.3 million and intangible assets of approximately $9.9 million. The intangible assets are primarily comprised of customer relationships and designs and drawings, which are being amortized over their respective estimated useful lives.

	We provide for the estimated costs that may be incurred under product warranties to remedy deficiencies of quality or performance of our products. Warranty costs are accrued at the time revenue is recognized. These product warranties extend over either a specified period of time, units of production or machine hours depending on the product subject to the warranty. We accrue a provision for estimated future warranty costs based on the historical relationship of warranty costs to sales. We periodically review the adequacy of the accrual for product warranties and adjust the warranty percentage and accrued warranty reserve for actual experience as necessary.
	The following table reconciles the changes in the product warranty reserve:

Borrowings and Credit Facilities	Borrowings and Credit Facilities
	On July 29, 2014, we entered into a $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility that matures on July 29, 2019 (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"). Under the Credit Agreement, we also may request an increase of up to $250.0 million of additional aggregate revolving commitments, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement simultaneously replaced the $1.0 billion revolving credit agreement dated as of October 12, 2012 (the "Prior Credit Agreement"), that was scheduled to expire on November 12, 2017. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.09% to 0.30% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility based on our credit rating. Letters of credit issued under applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement represent an unfunded utilization of the Credit Agreement for purposes of calculating the periodic commitment fee due. Eurodollar rate loans bear interest for a period from the applicable borrowing date until a date one week or one, two, three or six months thereafter, as selected by the Company, at the corresponding Eurodollar rate plus a margin of 1.0% to 2.0% depending on the Company's credit rating. Base rate loans bear interest from the applicable borrowing date at a rate equal to (i) the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced by the administrative agent as its "prime rate," or (c) a daily rate equal to the one-month Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%, plus (ii) a margin that varies according to the Company's credit rating. Swing line loans bear interest at either the base rate described above or the daily floating Eurodollar rate plus the applicable margin, as selected by the Company. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries and requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants, including leverage and interest coverage ratios. The Credit Agreement also restricts payment of dividends or other returns of capital to shareholders if we are not in compliance with the financial covenants in the agreement. As of May 1, 2015, we were in compliance with all financial covenants of the Credit Agreement and had no restrictions on the payment of dividends or other returns of capital to shareholders.
	As of May 1, 2015, there were no direct borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Total interest expense recognized for direct borrowings under the Credit Agreement for the quarters May 1, 2015 and May 2, 2014 is $0.2 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. For the six months ended May 1, 2015 and May 2, 2014, total interest expense recognized for direct borrowings under the Credit Agreement was $0.4 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. Outstanding standby letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement, which count toward the $1.0 billion credit limit, totaled $155.6 million. As of May 1, 2015, there was $844.4 million available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
	On July 29, 2014, we also entered into a term loan agreement which matures July 29, 2019 and provides for a commitment of up to $375.0 million (as amended, the "Term Loan"). The Term Loan replaced our prior term loan, dated as of June 16, 2011 (the "Prior Term Loan"). The Prior Term Loan had been scheduled to mature on July 16, 2016 and provided an initial commitment of $500.0 million, which had been drawn in full in conjunction with our fiscal 2011 acquisition of LeTourneau Technologies, Inc. and had been amortized to $375.0 million at the date that we entered into the Term Loan. We utilized the $375.0 million commitment under the Term Loan to repay the balance outstanding under the Prior Term Loan. The Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments beginning in fiscal 2016 and contains terms and conditions that are the same as the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. The Term Loan is guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries and requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants, including leverage and interest coverage ratios. As of May 1, 2015, we were in compliance with all financial covenants of the Term Loan.
	On October 12, 2011, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Senior Notes due in 2021 (the "2021 Notes") at a discount of $4.2 million in an offering that was registered under the Securities Act. Interest on the 2021 Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on October 15 and April 15 of each year, and the 2021 Notes are guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries. At our option, we may redeem some or all of the 2021 Notes at a redemption price of the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the principal amounts and the remaining scheduled interest payments using a discount rate equal to the sum of a treasury rate of a comparable treasury issue plus 0.5%.
	In November 2006, we issued $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.0% Senior Notes due 2016 and $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2036 (the "2016 Notes" and "2036 Notes," respectively). Interest on the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, and the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes are guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries. The 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes were issued in a private placement under an exemption from registration provided by the Securities Act. In the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes were exchanged for substantially identical notes in an exchange that was registered under the Securities Act. At our option, we may redeem some or all of the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes at a redemption price of the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the principal amounts and the remaining scheduled interest payments using a discount rate equal to the sum of a treasury rate of a comparable treasury issue plus 0.3% for the 2016 Notes and 0.375% for the 2036 Notes.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring Charges	Restructuring Charges
	During fiscal 2015, in response to the adverse market conditions, the Company has made decisions to reduce operations and administrative costs. This included entering into severance and termination agreements in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 in order to better align the Company's overall cost structure with anticipated levels of future demand. These activities are expected to be completed by the end of fiscal 2015. Additional restructuring charges are expected in fiscal 2015 as the Company continues to optimize its manufacturing footprint.
	The Company incurred some immaterial restructuring costs in fiscal 2014. These costs related to decisions that preceded the fiscal 2015 restructuring plan and are therefore not considered to be part of such plan.
	Restructuring charges in fiscal 2015 consisted of employee severance and termination costs. The following table summarizes the total expected costs and the amounts incurred by segment:

	The actuarial loss (gain) arises from differences in estimates and actual experiences for certain assumptions, including changes in the discount rate and expected return on assets. For the six months ended May 1, 2015, we contributed $11.2 million to our defined benefit employee pension plans, and we expect contributions to be less than $15.0 million for the full fiscal year.
	In conjunction with a UK law change, we recorded a non-cash pension settlement charge in the current quarter of $12.9 million as a result of the decision of certain individuals to transfer their benefit out of the Company's defined benefit pension plan to a defined contribution plan.

Derivatives

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives	Derivatives
	We are exposed to certain foreign currency risks in the normal course of our global business operations. We enter into derivative contracts that are foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the risks of certain identified and anticipated transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective operating unit. The types of risks hedged are those arising from the variability of future earnings and cash flows caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. These contracts are for forecasted transactions and committed receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies and are not entered into for speculative purposes. Consequently, any market-related losses on the forward contract would be offset by changes in the value of the hedged item, and, as a result, we are generally not exposed to net market risk associated with these instruments.
	Each derivative is classified as either a cash flow hedge, a fair value hedge or an undesignated instrument. All derivatives are recorded at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under the heading Other current assets or under the heading Other accrued liabilities, as appropriate. Cash flows from fair value and cash flow hedges are classified within the same category as the item being hedged on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash flows from undesignated derivative instruments are included in operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
	For derivative contracts that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss of the derivative contract is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax. This amount is reclassified into the income statement on the line associated with the underlying transaction for the periods in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income for existing cash flow hedges are generally expected to be reclassified into earnings within one year, and all of the existing hedges will be reclassified into earnings by October 2017. Ineffectiveness related to these derivative contracts was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as a loss of less than $0.1 million and a gain of less than $0.1 million for the quarters ended May 1, 2015 and May 2, 2014, respectively. Ineffectiveness related to these derivative contracts was also recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as a loss of less than $0.1 million and a gain of less than $0.1 million for the six months ended May 1, 2015 and May 2, 2014, respectively.
	For derivative contracts that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income under the heading Cost of sales. For the quarters ended May 1, 2015 and May 2, 2014, we recorded a gain of $0.2 million and and a loss of $0.5 million, respectively, related to fair value hedges, which were offset by foreign exchange fluctuations of the underlying hedged item. For the six months ended May 1, 2015 and May 2, 2014, we recorded a loss of $0.6 million and a loss of $0.7 million, respectively, related to fair value hedges, which were offset by foreign exchange fluctuations of the underlying hedged item.
	For derivative contracts entered into in order to hedge revaluation of net balance sheet exposures in non-functional currency that are not designated as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income under the heading Cost of sales. For the quarters ended May 1, 2015 and May 2, 2014, we recorded a gain of $1.2 million and a loss of $0.4 million, respectively, related to undesignated hedges, which were offset by foreign exchange fluctuations. For the six months ended May 1, 2015 and May 2, 2014, we recorded gains of $8.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively, related to undesignated hedges, which were offset by foreign exchange fluctuations.
	The following table summarizes the effect of cash flow hedges on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements:
	In thousands	Effective Portion

	We are exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to the forward contracts. The terms of the forward contract determine the amount and timing of amounts to be exchanged, and the contract is generally subject to credit risk only when it has a positive fair value.

Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share
	Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share, except that the weighted average number of shares outstanding is increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of stock options, performance shares and restricted stock units, if dilutive.
	The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

	Options to purchase a weighted average of 2.7 million and 2.1 million shares were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share for the quarters ended May 1, 2015 and May 2, 2014, respectively, as the effect would have been antidilutive. Options to purchase a weighted average of 2.5 million and 1.8 million shares were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share for the six months ended May 1, 2015 and May 2, 2014, respectively, as the effect would have been antidilutive.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements
	GAAP establishes a three level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used in developing assumptions when pricing an asset or liability as follows:
	Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments;
	Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable for the instrument either directly or indirectly or quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; and
	Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the instrument where there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
	GAAP requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
	The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value and disclose the fair value of long-term obligations recorded at cost as of May 1, 2015 and October 31, 2014. As of May 1, 2015 and October 31, 2014, we did not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities.

	The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
	Cash equivalents: The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value based on the short-term nature of these instruments.
	Derivatives: The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is based on a valuation model that discounts cash flows resulting from the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate.
	Term Loan: The fair value of the Term Loan is estimated using discounted cash flows and market conditions.
	Senior Notes: The fair market value of the senior notes is estimated based on market quotations of similar instruments at the respective period end.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingent Liabilities	Contingent Liabilities
	We establish reserves based on our assessment of contingencies related to legal claims asserted against us, as required by GAAP. Developments during the course of legal proceedings may affect our assessments and estimates of our contingencies, which in turn may require us to record or change the amount of a reserve, or make a payment that is different than the amount that we have reserved. In addition, as a normal part of operations, our subsidiaries undertake contractual obligations, warranties and guarantees in connection with the sale of products or services. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and favorable or unfavorable resolutions may affect the results of operations on a quarter-to-quarter basis, we believe that the outcome of such legal and other matters will not have a materially adverse effect on our future consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
	We and our subsidiaries are involved in various unresolved legal matters that arise in the normal course of operations, the most prevalent of which relate to product liability (including approximately 3,400 asbestos and silica-related cases), employment and commercial matters. We and our subsidiaries also become involved from time to time in proceedings relating to environmental matters and litigation arising outside the ordinary course of business.
	As of May 1, 2015, we were contingently liable to banks, financial institutions and others for approximately $188.0 million for outstanding standby letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees to secure the performance of sales contracts and other third party provided guarantees in the ordinary course of business. Of the $188.0 million, approximately $27.7 million relates to surety bonds and $4.7 million relates to outstanding letters of credit or other guarantees issued by non-U.S. banks for non-U.S. subsidiaries under locally provided credit facilities.
	In addition, the SEC’s Division of Enforcement is conducting an investigation concerning our 2012 acquisition of International Mining Machinery Holdings Limited and related accounting matters. We are cooperating with the SEC regarding this investigation, which is ongoing. While it is not possible to predict the timing or outcome of the SEC inquiry, we currently believe that this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's future consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 provides a single principles-based, five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers. The five steps are to (i) identify the contracts with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contact, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue will be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration expected in exchange for those goods or services. In April 2015, the FASB tentatively agreed to delay the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for one year and to permit early adoption by entities as of the original effective dates. Considering the one year deferral, ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company beginning on October 27, 2018 and the standard allows for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial condition, results of operations and the presentation of our financial statements.
	In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under the ASU, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. The guidance in the ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is allowed for all entities for financial statements that have not been previously issued and entities would apply the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods. ASU 2015-03 will be effective for the Company beginning on October 29, 2016. This guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial condition, results of operations or presentation of our financial statements.
	In April 2015, the FASB also issued ASU 2015-04, Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer's Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets, which permits an employer whose fiscal year-end does not coincide with a calendar month end the ability to elect to measure its defined benefit retirement obligations and related plan assets as of the month end that is closest to its fiscal year-end. If elected, this accounting policy is applied consistently on a prospective basis for all plans, with related disclosure of the alternative measurement date used. The ASU is effective for the Company beginning on October 29, 2016, with early adoption permitted. This guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial condition, results of operations or presentation of our financial statements.

	The borrowings are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several unsecured basis by the Subsidiary Guarantors, which are direct and indirect 100% owned subsidiaries of the Company. We conduct all of our business and derive essentially all of our income from our subsidiaries. Therefore, our ability to make payments on the obligations is dependent on the earnings and distribution of funds from our subsidiaries. There are no restrictions on the ability of any of our domestic subsidiaries to transfer funds to the parent company. Separate financial statements of the Subsidiary Guarantors are not presented because we believe such separate statements or disclosures would not be useful to investors.

Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events
	On May 19, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.20 per outstanding share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on June 18, 2015 to all shareholders of record at the close of business on June 4, 2015.
	On June 1, 2015, we completed the acquisition of Montabert S.A.S. ("Montabert") for approximately €110.0 million, subject to a working capital adjustment. This acquisition was partially funded through funds borrowed under our revolving Credit Agreement, with the remainder funded from our cash on hand. Montabert specializes in the design, production and distribution of high quality hydraulic rock breakers, pneumatic equipment, drilling attachments, drifters and related parts and tools. This acquisition expands the Company's product and service capabilities for hard rock mining, tunneling and rock excavation, further diversifying our commodity and end market exposures. Montabert's results of operations will be included as part of the Underground segment from the date of the acquisition forward.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Recent accounting pronouncements	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 provides a single principles-based, five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers. The five steps are to (i) identify the contracts with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contact, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue will be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration expected in exchange for those goods or services. In April 2015, the FASB tentatively agreed to delay the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for one year and to permit early adoption by entities as of the original effective dates. Considering the one year deferral, ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company beginning on October 27, 2018 and the standard allows for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial condition, results of operations and the presentation of our financial statements.
	In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under the ASU, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. The guidance in the ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is allowed for all entities for financial statements that have not been previously issued and entities would apply the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods. ASU 2015-03 will be effective for the Company beginning on October 29, 2016. This guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial condition, results of operations or presentation of our financial statements.
	In April 2015, the FASB also issued ASU 2015-04, Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer's Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets, which permits an employer whose fiscal year-end does not coincide with a calendar month end the ability to elect to measure its defined benefit retirement obligations and related plan assets as of the month end that is closest to its fiscal year-end. If elected, this accounting policy is applied consistently on a prospective basis for all plans, with related disclosure of the alternative measurement date used. The ASU is effective for the Company beginning on October 29, 2016, with early adoption permitted. This guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial condition, results of operations or presentation of our financial statements.
