RUBBERHOG Tire Repair Tools quickly remove damaged rubber while producing the ideal bonding surface to accept the repair. Applications include patch preparation and section repair.
RUBBERHOG Tire Retreading Tools are used for tire repairs performed during retreading. Larger "sidewall" wheels are available for bead-to-bead re-treading applications. Wheels are also available for texturing precured tread for maximum bonding adhesion. Special Rotary Knife Blades simultaneously cut pre-cured tread rubber to length and texture the ends for bonding.
Rubberhog Rubber Surgery Tools are for texturing and removing rubber rapidly with a highly efficient, cool, smokeless cutting action that requires no coolants at all. They leave a prepared rubber surface that is physically and chemically clean, evenly textured, and entirely free of any of the defects caused by abrading and rasping.
The photograph (top left) shows the uniform, open structure of SSG tooth coatings on typical Rubberhog Rubber Surgery Tools. Compare it to the photo below showing the crude, irregular structure of standard “crushed grit” wheel coatings. The controlled wide-open structure provides generous cutting clearance between the SSG teeth, allowing them to easily penetrate and cut off small cool chips of rubber without loading. SSG teeth are also manufactured so that the teeth operate at a uniform cutting radius, resulting in a rubber surface that is minutely roughened and free of coarse grooves, ridges, or closing cuts.
This combination of features explains why Rubberhog Rubber Surgery Tools provide a cool, efficient cutting action which produces an even, scorch-free surface with an ideal texture for obtaining the strongest rubber-to-rubber bonds.
