Frequently Asked Questions

How does this compare to Milwaukee tire buffers?

This Chicago Pneumatic tire buffer offers pneumatic power that doesn't require battery charging or electrical outlets, making it ideal for mobile operations. The 3500 RPM speed is optimized specifically for tire retreading, while the composite housing provides better heat insulation than metal alternatives.

What size air compressor do I need for this tire buffer?

This pneumatic tire buffer requires 4 CFM at 91 PSI maximum working pressure. Most shop compressors rated at 5+ CFM will provide adequate air flow for continuous operation during tire retreading work.

Can this tire buffer handle heavy truck tires?

Yes, the CP873C-HD is designed for heavy duty tire retreading applications. The 0.67 HP motor and reinforced construction handle commercial truck tire casings effectively while the ergonomic design reduces operator fatigue during extended buffing sessions.

Is this tire buffer tool compatible with standard buffer wheels?

The 7/16" hexagonal quick chuck accepts standard tire buffer wheels and attachments designed for this chuck size. The quick change system eliminates threading and makes wheel swaps much faster than traditional tire buffer designs.
