Abstract
A cutter for use with a pavement router, the pavement router having a pair of cutter supports, the cutter supports being spaced apart a known distance, the cutter includes a plurality of blades disposed radially about a hub, the hub being operably coupled to each of the plurality of blades and having an arbor defined therein along a longitudinal axis, the hub having a certain width dimension taken along the longitudinal dimension, the width dimension being just slightly less than the known distance that the cutter supports are spaced apart so that the hub extends substantially from cutter support to cutter support when disposed between the pair of cutter supports. A method of forming a cutter for use with a pavement router is further included.

A cutter for use with a pavement router, the pavement router having a pair of cutter supports, the cutter supports being spaced apart a known distance, the cutter comprising:
- a plurality of blades disposed radially about a hub;
- and
- the hub operably coupled to each of the plurality of blades and having an arbor defined therein along a longitudinal axis, the hub having a certain width dimension taken along the longitudinal dimension, the width dimension being substantially coextensive with the known distance that the cutter supports are spaced apart so that the hub extends substantially from cutter support to cutter support when disposed between the pair of cutter supports.
A cutter for use with a pavement router, the pavement router having a pair of cutter supports, the cutter supports being spaced apart a known distance, the cutter comprising:
- a plurality of blades disposed radially about a hub;
- and
- the hub being operably coupled to each of the plurality of blades and having an arbor defined therein along a longitudinal axis, the hub having a certain width dimension that is substantially co-extensive with an exposed portion of a cutter pin when the cutter pin is supported between the cutter supports.
A method of forming a cutter for use with a pavement router, the pavement router having a pair of cutter supports, the cutter supports being spaced apart a known distance, the cutter comprising:
- disposing a plurality of blades radially about a hub;
- and
- operably coupling the hub to each of the plurality of blades and defining an arbor therein along a longitudinal axis, the hub having a certain width dimension taken along the longitudinal dimension, forming the width dimension just slightly less than the known distance that the cutter supports are spaced apart so that the hub extends substantially from cutter support to cutter support when disposed between the pair of cutter supports.
