Picture #1 is Calaviere Industries W2000. The operator was from FL. on short notice hire as was the groundman who wasn't worth a hell to work with. The work was for Lynch contracting in Providence Rhode Island.
The DC1900 was changed out for the W2000 due to a blown track motor about a week before that picture was taken.
I'll bet Cavaliere Industries have an entire CD of pictures from that particular day that became availible to them thanks to that operator who insured the photographer saved the pictures to disc and sent them out to him. I'll even further bet that a few pictures from that day are in use on Cavaliere industries website, and if the commentor went back and had a look at the disc they would see the side of the machine reads "W2000".

Excellent pictures!
Looks like an older DC2100. Those are Tough as nails milling machines. The pattern the drum leaves is mighty pretty as well.
Thanks Rob.

Aw, I was hoping you were DJ from Cavaliere.
Makes me wrong twice now. That Blue machine in pictures is a W2200.
Good to see you again. I've got more pictures at myspace if you are interested.

Cool Pictures!
That old CAT looks like its been down the road a few times.
That shouldering Job looks like it was the type of Job where everybody is sucking dust...I feel for you and the groundman.
Thanks for keeping the thread going.
I noticed the drum was a Kenametal. What brand of teeth were you using?

Well, that machine has a history. It came from New Orleans, and was never under water. When it was brought to our shop, sea shells were found in the engine compartment.
That shouldering job was just me Operator/Water Truck Driver/ Groundman and my Forman/ Water Truck driver/ Groundman. I got the brunt of the dust, while he strolled along in the water truck.
I believe there we were using Kennametal RP-19's. Also use RP20's, Rz-19. Sandvic Blues and Red boxes (trispec?) don't recall the type.
I'm sure you also noticed the toolbox on the back, the improved air intake on the hood, and the trucker lights (aka stupid lights).
My company has a decent number of mills. 4 565B's 2 or 3 450's 1 1000 (susposed to be retired this year) 1 W2200 8ft cut and rumor was a new w2200 with 12.6 ft cutter and a 7 ft cutter.
Industrial builders is the company name. I'm actually pictured on the website as a groundman 1st year.

That clay business probably won't come off with the drum spinning at full RPM with the water shooting down.....
The one picture with the dust covered console brings on a few memories too.
Good to have ya around, there isn't anyone that does tech talk about milling here yet though.

Some beautiful scenery you get to operate in. It amazes me how you work on roads with no obvious safety barriers or cones, although I am aware pictures do not always show a full and true account of working practices and the comment is an observation not a critisim.
Thanks for sharing :drinkup
And, Milling Drum you are welcome :drinkup

Nice pictures Bean, Thanks for adding them.
Rob makes a good point about the lack of safety on jobs over here. Usually on the mountain areas in the east when I have been, they use a system where a flagman exists at both ends of the closed road area and a pilot car brings the minions through. Seems to work ok until the end of the day and everybody gets drunk together and the flaggers realize why they will in most cases stay flaggers....

Our job sites consist of 2 flaggers and a convoy truck leading the traffic. We rarely have cones or closed roads up here in Canada. I had my foot ran over twice 2 years ago and hit by 1 car. This year i guess i got lucky and nuthing cool like that happened
