ABSTRACT:
A method is described for resurfacing a steel tire of the type that encircle a material processing drum and is supported upon rollers journaled for rotation below the drum. A cutting tool is mounted below the drum. If out of round, the tire is first trued to approximate a cylinder. While the drum rotates, the tool is advanced across the outer surface of the tire along a first path from a beginning point at one edge to remove a portion of the material from the tire but without producing a finished surface as the drum settles down onto the rollers. A second cut is made, preferably in the reverse direction. A third cut is then preferably made from the point of beginning to the center to produce a finished surface. The invention also provides a resurfacing apparatus which includes a base upon which is supported a tool backing plate and an adjustable tool holder mounted on a slide plate connected to the backing plate. A feed screw is operatively connected between the slide plate and the tool holder to advance the tool along a fixed path across the tire.
