Frequently Asked Questions

Which tire buffer is best for commercial retreading shops?

The CP873C-HDES is specifically designed for high-volume commercial applications. Its 2,000-hour maintenance interval, 500W motor, and extended reach make it ideal for shops processing multiple tires daily. You'll appreciate how the low-speed design prevents rubber burning while maintaining productivity.

How does this compare to Milwaukee tire buffer options?

Unlike Milwaukee's battery-powered models, this pneumatic tire buffer provides unlimited runtime without battery changes. The CP873C-HDES offers professional-grade 500W power output and 2,000-hour maintenance intervals that exceed most Milwaukee tire buffer specifications for heavy commercial use.

Will this work with standard tire buffing wheels and attachments?

Yes, the 7/16" hex quick change chuck accepts all standard tire buffing wheels and attachments. The quick-change design eliminates the need for tools when switching between different buffing wheels or grinding attachments during tire repair operations.

What air compressor requirements does this tire buffer have?

This pneumatic tire buffer requires a minimum 1/4" NPT air connection with 6.3 bar (91 PSI) maximum working pressure. Air consumption is 1.9 l/s at free speed, so most standard shop compressors will handle continuous operation without issues.

Warranty & Shipping

Chicago Pneumatic provides a 1-year limited warranty on pneumatic tools including this tire buffer. The warranty covers manufacturing defects and workmanship issues under normal commercial use conditions. Fast shipping available on all commercial tire tools with same-day processing for orders placed before 2 PM EST.
