DEEP CUTS
To achieve a deep cut the width of the drum, make the first cut at the recommended
depth for the material being milled and then reposition the planer at the beginning of the pass
and reset for double the recommended depth. Example: Make the first cut with the depth
controls set at 2" and then set the depth control at 4" for the second pass and so on and so
forth until the desired depth is obtained.
To achieve a 6" cut of a large area it is recommended to cut the entire area at the
recommended depth and then clear the spoil from the area before making the second cut.
Removing the spoil between cuts will enhance the productivity of the planer and maintain an
even cut.
If trying to achieve a critical cutting depth it is recommended that the spoil from one
cut be cleared away before making another pass. This will eliminate the possiblity of the
planer riding on and off the spoil and creating an uneven surface.

MILLING TAPER CUTS
When adding to or joining new paved surfaces to existing paving, a taper cut may
be required at the interacting joints so the new paving would appear seamless. See the
chart below for the angle of cut per size of cold planer.
Example: To achieve a taper cut from 0" to 4" over a 4' distance with a 24" wide cold planer it
is recommended that you set one side of the planer at 2" and the other at 4" and the tilt set
at 4° for the first pass. Then make a second pass with both sides of the planer set at 0" and the
tilt still at 4°.
