1. SW6 Carbide Asphalt Milling Picks
The ALSKAR SW6 Series is designed for asphalt pavement milling, road rehabilitation, and surface removal applications using compatible compact cold milling machines.
Each milling pick features a 30.8g tungsten carbide cutting tip combined with a steel pick body and a 20mm round shank.
According to ALSKAR’s product drawings, the SW6 Series has an 88mm overall length, a 48mm reference length, and nominal upper cutting head dimensions of Ø19mm and Ø10mm.
The series is available in two configurations: SW6-G/20 with an extractor groove and SW6/20 without an extractor groove.
Both configurations share the same carbide tip specifications, overall dimensions, and primary cutting geometry. The difference is the extractor groove configuration, allowing customers to select the appropriate design based on their existing cutting tools and maintenance requirements.
The SW6 is a widely used asphalt milling pick specification and is an important option for contractors, equipment maintenance companies, and industrial distributors.
2. 30.8g Tungsten Carbide Cutting Tip
The SW6 Series features a 30.8g tungsten carbide cutting tip designed for asphalt milling applications.
Tungsten carbide is selected for road milling cutting tools because of its high hardness and resistance to abrasive wear.
The carbide tip forms the cutting interface with asphalt pavement, while the supporting steel body transfers cutting forces through the tool holder assembly.
According to ALSKAR’s product drawings, the upper cutting head region includes nominal diameter dimensions of Ø19mm and Ø10mm.
The 30.8g carbide tip specification provides a cutting head configuration suitable for the operating requirements of compatible compact asphalt milling equipment.
Actual cutting efficiency, wear performance, and service life depend on pavement composition, abrasiveness, cutting depth, machine settings, pick rotation, and operating conditions.
3. Two Pick Head Configurations
The ALSKAR SW6 Series is available in two configurations to accommodate different cutting tool designs and maintenance requirements.
SW6-G/20 – With Groove
The SW6-G/20 features an extractor groove in the steel pick head.
The groove provides an access point for suitable extraction tools, helping operators remove worn milling picks during routine maintenance and replacement.
SW6/20 – Without Groove
The SW6/20 features a smooth steel pick head without an extractor groove.
This configuration maintains the same carbide tip geometry, round shank diameter, and primary dimensions as the grooved version.
Shared Technical Specifications
- 30.8g Tungsten Carbide Tip
- 88mm Overall Length
- 48mm Reference Length
- 20mm Round Shank Diameter
- Nominal Ø19mm and Ø10mm Upper Cutting Head Dimensions
Customers should select the grooved or non-grooved configuration according to their existing milling pick and maintenance requirements.
4. 20mm Round Shank Construction
Both SW6 milling pick configurations feature a 20mm round shank designed for installation in compatible road milling tool holders.
The 88mm overall length and 48mm reference length provide defined dimensions for comparing aftermarket cutting tools.
The round-shank design is intended for use with suitable retaining systems and milling tool holder assemblies.
Correct installation depends on matching the pick geometry, shank dimensions, retaining components, and tool holder requirements.
A matching 20mm shank diameter alone does not guarantee universal compatibility with all milling machines or tool holders.
5. Designed for Asphalt Milling Applications
The ALSKAR SW6 Series is intended for asphalt pavement removal, surface milling, and road maintenance applications.
Recommended Applications
- Asphalt pavement milling

6. For Medium-to-High HP Compact Milling Machines
The ALSKAR SW6 Asphalt Milling Picks are intended for medium-to-high horsepower compact cold milling machines.
As a widely used asphalt milling pick specification, the SW6 series is an important option for contractors and maintenance operators working with compact milling equipment.
The combination of a 30.8g carbide tip, 20mm round shank, and 88mm overall length provides a defined cutting tool configuration for matching compatible milling assemblies.
Both grooved and non-grooved options are available to meet different cutting tool replacement requirements.
Machine compatibility should be confirmed by comparing the existing pick dimensions, tool holder geometry, and retaining system before installation.
