ABSTRACT:
A cutting machine for cutting depressions in a road surface. The cutting machine includes a rotatable cutting head connect with a drive device for rotating the cutting head and an engaging device for moving the cutting head out of and into contact with the road surface. A power unit that moves the cutting head along the road surface is provided with a detector for continuously detecting a distance that the cutting head is moved by the power unit and for generating a signal indicative of the distance moved. An electronic controller, responsive to the signal, electronically controls the engaging device so that the cutting head moves out of and into contact with the road surface in accordance with the distance that the cutting head moves along the road surface and a specified dimensional profile of the depressions which are stored in the electronic controller. The movement of the cutting head cuts depressions in the road.
