For this operation, be sure to set depth of cut to just penetrate the paint. Most state and municipal agencies
require 70% to 80% removal. If the road surface was pitted (worn or just old and full or uneven areas when it
was painted), it will be impossible to remove the paint from the depressions without changing the depth setting.
•
We suggest leaving these areas to be completed last after the majority of the lines have been removed. Return
to the problem spots , reset the depth and proceed to remove the paint. This procedure will minimize the time
necessary to do the job and will prevent cutting into the road surface.
•
The EDCO CPU-10FC model is ideally suited to remove thermoplastic lines - the upcut feature removes the plas-
tic from the surface by “milling” or lifting. In excessively hot weather it may be necessary to sweep the plastic
away from in front of the planer - hot plastic tends to build up on the tires changing the cutting depth setting.
•
To keep thermoplastic from heating up, we recommend to spray water on the work surface whenever possible.
Note:
If the CPU-10FC will be used for traffic line removal, the optional front outrigger wheel assembly will follow the
contour of the surface to be cut. By doing this you can control the amount of surface to be removed with little or no
damage beneath the paint.
Refer to the
CPU-10FC Assembly Instructions
booklet
for suggested Cutter Drum setups.
Cutter Wheels
Use only EDCO approved cutter wheels. Cutter wheels for all application are available - sizes and types
vary. Complete information is available from EDCO.
CP-403:
Hardened steel spacers for use
with all cutter wheel set ups.
CP-404:
2-3/8” diameter -1” ID x 3/16”
max.depth of cut - 1/2” - hi-carbon cutters -
use on concrete 3500 PSI or less.
CP-404P:
Same as above, except teeth
are pointed to aid in removal of paint or
similar surface material - points wear and
become flat. When this happens, use as
you would standard CP-404.
CP-405:
3” diameter - 1” ID x 3/16” - max.
depth 3/4” - hi-carbon steel cutters - use on
concrete 3500 PSI or less.
CP-405P:
Same as above, except teeth
are pointed to aid in removal of paint or
similar surface material - points wear and
become flat. When this happens, use as
you would standard CP-405.
CP-404TV:
2-1/8” OD x 1” ID x 1/4” thk
6 point, tungsten carbide inserts. Use
for long life and fast removal of concrete,
asphalt or coatings.
CP-408TV
: 3-1/8” OD x 1 3/16” ID x
5/16” thk 8 tungsten carbide inserts.
Heavy duty cutter with oversized inner di-
ameter. Maximum cutter shaft diameter
1”. Heavy removal of concrete, asphalt or
coatings.
