Contractors doing reclamation projects usually need a heavier tool body, where in road milling, a slimmer body improves machine performance. The new Road King series from Kennametal is a single tool system addressing both reclamation and milling road projects to the benefit of the contractor.
Road King feature improvements include:
-A body design that accentuates easy penetration with less stress on the washer, retainer, and holding system.
-A series of optimized tip designs (flat bottom as well as valve seat) for varying job conditions, along with a single body design that accommodates all of them, greatly simplifying inventory.
-Increased body hardness on all tools to maximize wear resistance.
-A fluted body design that supports better tool rotation behavior, improving tip wear.
-The head design also leads cut material away from the tool, reducing the buildup of fines between retainer and shank.
-An increased collar diameter maximizing holder protection.
