Abstract
The present invention involves a tire buffing apparatus. A rasping or buffing element is mounted in a manner which allows a compound radius to be formed in the shoulder of the tire casing without removing the rasp from the surface of the tire casing during the buffing operation. A tire casing rotating assembly includes a system for mounting the tire casing and rotating the casing. A pedestal is movable toward and away from the rotating tire casing. The pedestal is pivotable about the central axis of the pedestal and rotatable over a predetermined arc about a vertical axis spaced from the central axis of the pedestal. A rasp is mounted rearwardly and offset from the central axis of the pedestal.
