Any idea what is this for

Ignoramus14389 fired this volley in news:Xo-dnVwGDutuKrrXnZ2dnUVZ snipped-for-privacy@giganews.com:

You didn't include a scale, but it looks like a tire patch buffer wheel.

Used to rough up the inside of a tire for a boot, or a tube for a patch.

That's what it looks like to me, as well. Been awhile since seeing one.

It's 4 or 4-1/2" in diameter, right? It's for carving/grinding, probably on wood or plastic. (If it's smaller, it may fit a Merlin grinder from King Arthur Tools.)

Is it carbide chips painted a copper color, or is that poorly-exposed red? It's similar to a Kutzall disc I have (the silver one below.)

Tire patch buffing wheel.

Thanks guys... This is for sure "it"...

Hemorrhoid remover.

Tire buffer cup. Used on a low speed tool to buff the inner liner of a tire to attach a tire patch.

That would explain the 25,000 RPM limit...

If you were to use it on wood or tile/ceramics you might be able to get it to do useful work at 25,000.

On a rubber tire liner (which is where I usually see this style of cup rasp used) a much lower top speed would be effective.

And consider that the limit was placed on the cutter by the lawyers.

If they don't put any limit on it, some inDUHvidual is going to say "Get the laser tachometer, Hold my beer, and lets see how fast we can spin this puppy before it grenades and kills Kenny..."

Kenny gets killed way too often.

You Bastards!!! ;-P

(I was wondering if anyone was paying attention - Okay, that's at least one...)
