I had some compacted rock covered by two inches of asphalt that was not even with the circular edge of my driveway. I used my Busse BM to cut through the asphalt and rock to make the the edge line up with the rest of the driveway. I cut about four feet of asphalt and road rock in total. As the attached scan shows, the BM had some discoloration of the coating and a slight amount of coating came off next to the edge. The BM cut through the asphalt with ease and left a nice straight edge. The blade edge where it cut the rock and asphalt was not very sharp after I finished my test. It was not difficult to restore the blade edge to shaving sharpness in a couple of minutes. I do not recommend using a BM for this type of work, but it might be of interest to some of you that it CAN be used (misused?) for very tough job if it is necessary.
