Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a buzzout buffing wheel used for?
A buzzout buffing wheel is used to remove damaged rubber and prepare repair areas in the tread zone. It is commonly used during section repairs and cavity preparation before installing repair materials.
Can this wheel be used for inner liner preparation?
No. Buzzout wheels are designed for rubber removal in tread areas. For inner liner preparation, a contour or liner prep wheel should be used instead.
What does SSG230 or SSG390 mean?
SSG refers to the carbide cutting structure of the wheel. Different SSG numbers indicate variations in cutting behavior and material removal characteristics, not a direct grit measurement.
What is the benefit of a solid body carbide deisgn?
Solid carbide wheels provide longer life, better stability, and more consistent contact compared to cup-style designs.
Can this wheel be used on steel belts or exposed cord?
No. These wheels are designed for rubber removal only and should not be used on exposed steel belts or cords.
