Asphalt Milling Driveway: Pros and Cons with KOIHO BETTER CARBIDE’s Solutions

Pros of Asphalt Milling Driveways

Asphalt milling driveways offers compelling benefits, especially when paired with KOIHO’s asphalt grinding bits:

• Cost Savings: Millings cost $1-$3 per square foot, compared to $3-$7 for new asphalt, saving homeowners up to 50%. KOIHO’s durable road milling bits reduce tool replacements, further lowering project costs.

• Eco-Friendly: Recycling old pavement reduces landfill waste and quarry use. KOIHO’s efficient pavement cutters produce high-quality RAP, maximizing sustainability on planers like Bomag’s BM 1300/30-2.

• Durability: Properly milled and compacted RAP forms a weather-resistant surface that withstands heavy use. KOIHO’s tungsten carbide tips ensure consistent aggregates for a robust driveway.

• Low Maintenance: Milling driveways requires minimal upkeep, resisting cracks with proper installation. KOIHO’s precision tools create smooth, compactable millings for lasting results.

Cons of Asphalt Milling Driveways

Despite their advantages, asphalt milling driveways have some drawbacks, which KOIHO’s tools help mitigate:

• Inconsistent Quality: Poor milling can produce coarse or uneven RAP, leading to a bumpy surface. KOIHO’s road planning bits, with micrograin tungsten carbide, ensure finely graded aggregates, improving compaction on machines like XCMG’s XM1205.

• Installation Challenges: Compacting millings requires skill to avoid settling. KOIHO’s asphalt milling picks deliver uniform RAP, simplifying installation and reducing errors.

• Initial Dust: Freshly milled RAP can generate dust until sealed. KOIHO’s road cutters minimize excess fines during milling, creating cleaner aggregates for planners like Volvo’s PL1600.

• Aesthetic Limitations: Millings may lack the sleek look of new asphalt. KOIHO’s precise pavement milling teeth produce smooth, consistent RAP, enhancing the driveway’s appearance.

How KOIHO BETTER CARBIDE Enhances Asphalt Milling

KOIHO BETTER CARBIDE’s tungsten carbide road milling bits are engineered to address milling challenges and maximize driveway quality:
