Claim 11:
12. A machine, comprising:
a milling chamber;
a rotor assembly housed within the milling chamber, the rotor assembly including a rotor and a plurality of cutting bits to mill a ground surface beneath the machine; and
a tool system including:
a tool for removing a selected cutting bit of the plurality of cutting bits from the rotor, the tool including:
