Embodiments of the invention are directed to cutting tool assemblies, material-removing machines that include cutting tool assemblies, and methods of use and operation thereof. In some embodiments, the cutting tool assemblies described herein may be used in material-removing machines that may remove target material. For example, the cutting tool assemblies may include one or more superhard working surfaces and/or one or more shields.

This disclosure relates to a system for removing road material. In an embodiment, the system may include a milling drum and at least one pick mounted on the milling drum. Furthermore, the pick may include polycrystalline diamond at least partially forming one or more working surfaces of the pick.

The invention relates to a tool combination consisting of a chisel holder, which can be fastened to a milling drum of a soil tillage machine, and at least one leading and one trailing chisel, which are retained on the chisel holder, wherein the trailing chisel is arranged after the leading chisel, based on a working movement of the tool combination in use in the soil tillage machine, and wherein each chisel has a chisel tip having a cutter. According to the invention the trailing chisel tip of the trailing chisel has, at least in some areas, a greater hardness than the leading chisel tip of the leading chisel. Thus stoppage times of the soil tillage machine for maintenance can be reduced and the loss of chisels can at least be decreased.

The invention relates to an interchangeable chisel holder (40) which can be fixed to a milling drum (15) of a ground-working machine (10), having a forward chisel holder (42) for the interchangeable holding of a forward chisel (20), preferably a round-shaft chisel, and having a rearward chisel (30, 31), which is held on the interchangeable chisel holder (40), wherein, as based on a working movement (76) of the interchangeable chisel holder (40) when used in the ground-working machine (10), the rearward chisel (30, 31) is arranged behind the forward chisel holder (42). In such an interchangeable candleholder (40) provision can be made, according to the invention, for the rearward chisel (30, 31) to be held on the interchangeable chisel holder (40) axially and fixed in the circumferential direction of the chisel holder. Maintenance-induced stoppages of the ground-working machine can thus be reduced and the loss of chisels can at least be lowered.

This disclose relates to a cutting assembly (10) for mining comprising a disk cutter (18), which is moveable between horizontal and vertical cutting orientations.

Embodiments described herein relate to material-removal systems as well as cutting tools and cutting tool assemblies that may be used in the material-removal systems. More specifically, for example, the material-removal systems, and particularly the cutting tools, may engage and fail target material. In some instances, the material-removal systems may be used in mining operations.

The invention relates to a cutting device for an earth working machine, having improved wear protection.

Embodiments of the invention are directed to cutting tool assemblies, cutting tool mounting assemblies, material-removing machines that include cutting tool assemblies and/or cutting tool mounting assemblies, and methods of use and operation thereof. In some embodiments, the various assemblies described herein may be used in material-removing machines that may remove target material.
