Road Pavement mills and Road Stabiliser were once very similar machines, however, they are now very specialised pieces of road making machinery and have developed into very different machines. A road pavement mill may also be know as:
 * Road Profiler
 * Road Reclaimer
 * Road Recycler
 * Road Miller
 * Road Planner
 * Pavement profiler

The scientific application of this machine is that it "mills" away the road pavement material and so this is perhaps the best name to use for this description.

=Principle operation of the Road Pavement Mill= A road pavement mill is a construction vehicle with a powered metal drum that has rows of tungsten carbide tipped teeth that cut off the top surface of a paved concrete or asphalt road. In some applications the entire road Pavement can be removed. The reasons for removal may be that the road surface has become damaged and needs replacing.

Usually mounted on four crawler tracks although sometimes on three crawler tracks or on wheels

=Principle operation of the Soil Stabilizer= A soil stabiliser is a construction vehicle with a powered metal drum that has rows of mixing blades or paddles that cut into hard ground and blend the soil with a binder agent (usually Portland cement or lime) and mix these ingredients with water. A soil stabiliser mixes a low strength concrete and performs a similar function to a concrete mixer except that it happens on the ground.
