SW5 Asphalt Milling Picks – 26g Carbide Tip
The ALSKAR SW5 Asphalt Milling Picks are tungsten carbide-tipped cutting tools designed for asphalt pavement removal and road surface milling with compatible cold milling machines.
Featuring a 26g cap-shaped carbide tip, 88mm overall length, and 20mm round shank, the SW5 series is intended for low-to-medium horsepower milling equipment, including machines with approximately 1.0m milling widths.
Available in With Groove (SW5-G/20) and Without Groove (SW5/20) configurations, both models share the same carbide tip geometry and primary dimensions.

1. SW5 Asphalt Milling Picks
The ALSKAR SW5 Series is designed for asphalt pavement removal, road rehabilitation, and surface milling applications using compatible cold milling machines.
Each milling pick features a 26g tungsten carbide cutting tip supported by a steel pick body and a 20mm round shank.
With an 88mm overall length and a 48mm reference length, the SW5 series is intended for low-to-medium horsepower milling machines, including approximately 1.0m rear-mounted milling equipment.
The series is available in two configurations: SW5-G/20 with an extractor groove and SW5/20 without an extractor groove.
Both configurations share the same carbide tip specifications, cutting head geometry, and primary dimensions. The difference lies in the extractor groove configuration, allowing customers to select the appropriate design according to their existing cutting tools and maintenance requirements.
2. 26g Cap-Shaped Tungsten Carbide Tip
The SW5 Series features a 26g cap-shaped tungsten carbide cutting tip designed for asphalt milling applications.
According to ALSKAR’s product drawings, the upper cutting head region includes nominal diameter dimensions of Ø18mm and Ø10mm.
The carbide tip forms the cutting interface with asphalt pavement, while the supporting steel body transfers cutting forces through the tool holder system.
Tungsten carbide is used in road milling applications because of its hardness and resistance to abrasive wear.
Actual cutting efficiency, wear characteristics, and service life depend on pavement composition, abrasiveness, cutting depth, machine settings, and operating conditions.
3. Two Pick Head Configurations
The ALSKAR SW5 Series offers two pick head configurations to meet different product selection and maintenance requirements.
SW5-G/20 – With Groove
The SW5-G/20 features an extractor groove in the steel pick head.
This groove provides an access point for suitable extraction tools, assisting with the removal of worn milling picks during routine maintenance and replacement.
SW5/20 – Without Groove
The SW5/20 features a smooth steel pick head without the extractor groove.
It maintains the same carbide cutting tip, steel body geometry, shank diameter, and overall dimensions as the grooved version.
4. 20mm Round Shank Construction
Both SW5 milling pick configurations feature a 20mm round shank designed for installation in compatible road milling tool holders.
The cutting picks have an 88mm overall length and a 48mm reference length, providing defined dimensions for comparing replacement tools.
The round-shank design is intended for use in appropriate cutting tool holder assemblies.
For correct installation, the pick dimensions, retaining system, and tool holder specifications should be checked before ordering.
A matching 20mm shank diameter alone does not guarantee compatibility with every milling tool holder.
5. Designed for Asphalt Milling Applications
The ALSKAR SW5 Series is intended for asphalt surface removal and road maintenance applications.
Recommended Applications
- Asphalt pavement milling
- Road surface removal
- Pavement rehabilitation
- Asphalt overlay removal
- Road maintenance and repair
- Surface preparation before resurfacing
Recommended Material: Asphalt pavement.
For concrete pavement milling, ALSKAR recommends selecting a milling pick specifically designed for concrete cutting conditions.
6. For Low-to-Medium Horsepower Milling Machines
The ALSKAR SW5 Asphalt Milling Picks are intended for low-to-medium horsepower road milling equipment, including approximately 1.0m rear-mounted cold milling machines.
The combination of a 26g carbide tip, 20mm round shank, and compact cutting head geometry is intended for matching milling tool holder systems.
Both grooved and non-grooved configurations are available to accommodate different pick head requirements.
Machine suitability must be confirmed by checking the existing milling pick dimensions, holder geometry, and retaining system before installation.
