One System, Any Job
Modular design
Configure your drum for any width and application. Choose how many segments to mount and what bullet types to run, for full control over cut width and cutter style.
Replaceable wear segments
Segments take the wear; your drum stays protected. Easy to replace, affordable, and they shield the high-value drum from abrasion and impact.
Bottom-mounted bullets
Bullets bolt in from underneath the segment, shielding bolt heads from cutter wash and eliminating the usual headaches of swapping worn bullets.
Distributed cutter pattern
Six independent cutter positions per inch (double the industry standard) for smoother results, more even texture, and longer cutter life.
Grinder Bullets & Cutters
Rear-loaded PDC grinder bullets with optimized back-rake geometry. Mounts in industry-standard drums or bottom-bolts into the Constellation drum. Mix profiles across the drum to tune your grind.
Profile 01Single Row
General-purpose grinding with an even, consistent finish.
Profile 02Square Profile
Flat-bottom passes for uniform depth and clean edges.
Profile 03Mixed Profile
Combined geometries for aggressive removal with a smooth surface.
What It's For
Inset striping grooves
Grind a shallow recess so thermoplastic, tape, or epoxy striping sits below the plow line, so markings survive winter in snow states instead of being scraped off.
Marking & coating removal
Strip thermoplastic, paint, and coatings from asphalt and concrete with a consistent, controlled texture.
Slot cuts for recessed markers
Cut slots for snowplowable raised pavement markers, so reflective markers keep working through winter maintenance.
