Mini crushers?

[Russell]

I'm sure there has been some threads about these but nothing comes up on the search.
I think there is one on the island, what are the narrow <900mm wide ones like?
Can you use crushed hard-core as type one to go under paving?
Would you need to blind it with type one?
I've got a job with very little space out the front for skips or grab.

Produce a decent enough product with the jaw set tight enough but very slow and need to be hand fed.

I've used one for a similar job, theres pics on here if you search.

Did you go over the top with type one or just use the hardcore as sub-base?

What paving are you doing

 

[Russell]

Slabs on unbound bedding so like block pavers.

I’d blinded it with some nice 20mm-dust much easier to tickle to level

 

[Russell]

OK thanks

I'd agree but that's £100 per bulk bag here and will be way more or unobtanium on the IoW!

Type 1 is too coarse to blind with. Fed right the crusher will produce stuff a similar grade to type 1 but without so many fines. So can be a pain to get to bind. You wouldn't want to use it to lay a gravel drive on, for instance. We were laying with a screed of sharp sand/cement and it was perfect.

You live much nearer hard stone than us!

Only limestone or granite we get in bulk is brought in by railway. Still expensive. Anything odd will be haulage direct from quarry so mega money.
