What is a Curved Grader Blade and How Does it Work?
A curved grader blade is a tool used to level or grade dirt roads. It consists of a blade with a curved leading edge and two handles. The blade is attached to the handles via a swivel joint, which allows the blade to pivot.
The user holds the handles in each hand and uses them to push and pull the blade across the road surface. The curved leading edge of the blade cuts into the surface, while the flat back of the blade levels it off. The amount of cutting and leveling that can be done with a single pass depends on the depth of the curve on the leading edge of the blade.
Curved grader blades are available in a variety of sizes and curvatures. The size is typically determined by the width of the road that it will be used on, while the curvature is determined by personal preference or by what type of work needs to be done (e.g., more aggressive curves are better for cutting through thicker layers of material).
