Cold Planer Functions and Applications?

[John Davis]

Hey everyone!
How do you utilize cold planers in your projects, and what tasks do you find them most effective for?

Hey John,

I often use cold planers for street repairs and leveling uneven pavement. They're also great for cutting drainage in parking lots and cleaning up around larger milling machines.

Here's a video that provides a good overview of cold planers:

Cold planers are awesome for precision work! I’ve used them mostly for grinding down asphalt before resurfacing, but they’re also great for fixing rough patches without tearing up an entire road. Ever tried using one on concrete? It’s a different beast compared to asphalt. @John Davis, are you looking into using one for a specific job?

Cold planers are seriously handy! I’ve mostly used them for asphalt milling and surface prep, but they’re great for trenching too. They save so much time compared to ripping everything out. @John Davis, are you tackling a road job, or something smaller like a parking lot?

I’ve used cold planers for everything from asphalt resurfacing to cutting clean utility trenches. Super handy when you need precision without tearing up the whole site!
