Abstract
A rotary driven cutter for use on the roadway surface reclaiming machines is disclosed which includes spiral flighting fixed to an axially rotatable drum, the flighting including a plurality of regularly spaced recesses for receiving tool holders on only one side of the flighting, the tool holders each being removably mounted within the flighting recess such that an edge of the tool holder projects laterally outward beyond the side of the flighting a distance sufficient to protect the flighting section from abrasion and thereby extend the life thereof.
Claims4
Apparatus secured to a cutting drum of a scarifying milling machine for holding a cutting bit comprising:
- a plurality of helical flighting sections fixed to the cutting drum, each flighting section including a first wall containing a plurality of recesses for receiving tool holders and a second generally continuous opposing wall, both walls being generally perpendicular to the cutting drum, and
- a plurality of tool holders removably mounted within the flighting section recesses of the first wall, each tool holder including a bore for receiving a cutting bit, each tool holder being received within each recess such that an edge of the tool holder projects outwardly beyond the surface of the first wall a distance sufficient to protect the flighting section from abrasion so as to extend the life thereof.
A rotary driven cutter for use on a roadway surface reclaiming machine having a main frame and power means mounted thereon for powering the machine, the rotary drive cutter comprising:
- a drum supported by the main frame for rotation about its axis by the power means,
- flighting fixed to the drum and spirally winding thereabout so as to converge at a lateral central portion of the drum, the flighting including a plurality of regularly spaced recesses for receiving tool holders only on the side of the flighting facing the lateral central portion of the drum,
- a plurality of tool holders each removably mounted within one of the flighting recesses such that an edge of the tool holder projects laterally outward beyond the side of the flighting a distance sufficient to protect the flighting section from abrasion and thereby extend the life thereof, each tool holder having a bore for receiving a cutting bit in a radial outside surface and fowardly directed in the direction of rotation of the drum, and
- a plurality of cutting bits, each removably received in a bore of one of the tool holders.
