What is a Drum Cutter?
Drum Cutter Attachments for Excavators
A drum cutter attachment is designed for applications where hard materials need to be cut, milled or ground away with precision.
Ideal for construction, demolition, quarrying and civil engineering projects, hydraulic drum cutters provide controlled material removal with reduced vibration and noise compared to traditional breaking methods.
Suitable for cutting rock, concrete, asphalt and frozen ground, excavator drum cutters deliver high-performance results in confined or sensitive working environments.
How a Hydraulic Drum Cutter Works
A hydraulic drum cutter features rotating drums equipped with heavy-duty picks positioned around the outer diameter. Powered by the carrier machine’s hydraulic motor, the drums rotate at several hundred revolutions per minute to cut through tough materials efficiently.
This controlled cutting action makes drum cutters ideal for precision work where accuracy and reduced overbreak are essential.
