Can cold planers be used for asphalt removal?

i'm trying to understand when they make the most sense to use on a job.

Yeah, cold planers are actually built for that-machines from brands like Wirtgen are commonly used to mill and remove asphalt layers before repaving.

Those Wirtgen machines are wild to watch in action, just chewing through asphalt like it’s nothing

Yep, that's actually one of their main jobs.

Haha, they really are. Keeping the cutting teeth in good shape makes a huge difference too, they'll mill faster and leave a much cleaner surface.
