Summary:Systems and methods for milling paving material. A self-powered milling system includes a cutting head to mill the paving material. The cutting head is powered by a milling system motor that speeds up production and enables the milling of very thick asphalt in a single pass. A milling system carriage follows the contour of the ground, provides stability during the milling process, is selectively adjusted to provide cuts at various angles, and enables precise edge milling. A breaker bar holds the paving material down as it tries to lift up during the milling process, and is employed to assist in the breaking up of the milled aggregate.
