I’m wanting to know the best way to go about using a belt sander to refinish my tires. I will be putting them on the kart axle and doing it that way.
"Best" way would be to get a refinishing stand to turn the tire at a consistent and specific rpm.I’m wanting to know the best way to go about using a belt sander to refinish my tires. I will be putting them on the kart axle and doing it that way.
Start with a old tire . The angle you hold the grinder along with the pressure controls the speed .I’m wanting to know the best way to go about using a belt sander to refinish my tires. I will be putting them on the kart axle and doing it that way.
Use old take out bearings on the axle. You do not want to use the rear bearings you use on the track. Grinding/finishing tires on your chassis will put excessive wear on the rear bearings.Start with a old tire . The angle you hold the grinder along with the pressure controls the speed .
It would be best if someone sprayed the tire while the other person runs the sander . Have done it alone though plenty .
Also might want to tie the kart too the stand . Also lubricate the bearings .
