A pavement grinder is a machine used to grind down the surface of a pavement in preparation for resurfacing or repair.
FEATURES:
• Capable of grinding to within 10” (25.4cm) of a vertical wall.
• Fast, nimble and easy to use.
• Equipped with odometer that measures total footage (meters) ground and has a reset-able daily production odometer and feet (meters) per minute indicator.
• 5” (12.7cm) diameter blade shaft for use with 12” (30.48cm) diameter blades. Blades for grinding or grooving can be stacked up to 38” (96.52cm) cutting width.
• Front bogey assembly is adjustable for an effective wheelbase of 9’ (2.74m) to 11’(3.35m) -center of cutting head to center of front bogey.
• On board vacuum system with diaphragm slurry pump and silencer.
• Depth control wheels are side to side adjustable for accurate cut matching.
• Manually adjusted grooving depth control wheels attach to mainframe on blade-shaft center line for accurate depth control.
• Excellent for airport grooving

PC1505XL Pavement Grinder & Groover typically uses diamond-tipped blades to remove a thin layer of the pavement surface, which can be used to smooth out uneven surfaces, remove old coatings or markings, or prepare the surface for new overlays.
A pavement groover, on the other hand, is a machine used to cut grooves or channels into a concrete or asphalt pavement surface. The grooves are typically used to provide better traction for vehicles or pedestrians, to reduce the risk of slipping or skidding on wet or icy surfaces.
Both pavement grinders and groovers are commonly used in road construction and maintenance projects, as well as in commercial and industrial applications where smooth and safe pavement surfaces are required.
