The paving breaker asphalt cutter puts a wide cutting edge on your breaker for slicing asphalt cleanly instead of shattering it the fast way to open utility trenches, square up patch edges and cut around manholes and vaults without tearing the surrounding mat. Hex shanks from 7/8 x 3-1/4 in. through 1-1/4 x 6 in. cover the common breaker sizes, with a slotted version for electric breakers.

A clean cut line is what separates a patch that holds from one that ravels, which is why the cutter earns a spot next to the asphalt wedge in most road kits.

Asphalt Cutter FAQ

What shank sizes does the asphalt cutter come in?
Five hex sizes 7/8 x 3-1/4, 7/8 x 4-1/4, 1 x 4-1/4, 1-1/8 x 6 and 1-1/4 x 6 in. cover the common paving breakers, and a slotted-shank version fits electric breakers.

Why use an asphalt cutter instead of a moil point?
The wide blade slices the mat with less force instead of shattering it, leaving straight, clean edges. A clean cut line is what keeps a patch from raveling at the seam.

What breaker do I need to run it?
Any pneumatic, hydraulic or electric paving breaker whose front end matches one of the shank options order the cutter in the shank your machine takes. If you are sizing a new machine too, start with choosing a concrete breaking tool.
