Grading a Road Using a Stringline
P/N 7010-0344
5-21
Now go back to the stringline and make another pass, dialing in an
additional cut. Since the last pass was cut at 1.70 feet, dialing to -1.80
would produce a .10 foot cut. With the cross slope system
maintaining a 2.0% slope, the ENTIRE moldboard will be cutting .10
foot. Machine and material conditions will determine how much cut
is made in each pass.
