Yazoojeeper, its not quite like a milling machine, it doent have teeth on it that crind the concrete up, its got a breaking shoe on it that actually impacts the concrete 44 times per second with several thousand pounds of impact, all variable on density and thickness of concrete, this thing will eat through a 24" slab of concrete faster than you can walk! I dont know if any of you looked at it on you tube, these machines have been around for several year, no major brand has picked them up because they're subject to break downs pretty often and difficulty to operate, but i've been told when they are running its like printing money over here! I enjoy the work, it a challenge and the travels good. I like to compare our crew to a rock band on tour or a bunch of gypsies. We travel all over china, i've been in almost every province, was here last year during the earthquake, was here for the olympics, and their new years this past year. If you can get around the bad food, its not that bad a place to work for a single guy !
