Very nice Mike!

Better still here is a couple of pics of the "business end" of the machine. 

It's quite apparent that whoever built this knew what they were doing.

The very solidly mounted cup shaped cutter,  which is driven by a 2/3 HP motor at 1750 RPM shaves very thin flakes off the tire which is rotated at about 120 RPM by a second motor.

The cutting edge of the blade is at exactly center height of the wheel and its position, X & Y, is controlled by handwheels.

The cutter is also set at a very specific angle to the surface of the tread being shaved.

It has a profile guide mechanism which controls the "crowning" of the tread.

It's a fairly "industrial" piece of equipment.

I learned very quickly that the blade has to be kept razor sharp and that any type of stone, no matter how small, is your enemy.

Michael, 

Can you please describe the tool that actually shaves the tire? does it work like a chisel or a lathe with a pointed tipped tool?

In my continuing efforts to remove the last traces of scuttle shake whilst retaining my original flat center wire wheels I have acquired a Kemsway Tire Conditioner that is about 60 years old but was state of the art for tire shaving in its day. 

I've spent the week reconditioning it whith new bearings,  a new drive motor and various other things.

Yesterday I turned up a pair of adaptors to accept wire wheels.

I shaved my first tire this morning and am delighted with the results.

Great! Inquiring minds want to know – what did you need to do?

Thank you all who responded to my request for help. 

With guidance from several and in particular Oliver Viitamaki I have managed to figure out the wiring and the machine is running beautifully.

Michael:  I haven’t gotten much response on the shop talk list, but this seems helpful:

 

“I'm not familiar with your application but a typical reversable AC motor is controlled by a SPST center-off switch.  The motor has three leads.  One is connected to neutral directly.  The other tow wires have a run capacitor connected between them.  Applying power to one of these two leads will make the motor run in one direction and applying power to the other lead will make the motor run in the opposite direction.  There should be a label on the motor somewhere indicating which wire is which.”

Posting for a friend:

 

I have purchased an old machine named a Kemsway Tire Conditioner. 

I'm overhauling it to hopefully use to shave tires on wire wheels.

I have all the mechanical issues resolved but am stumped when it comes to rewiring the 110 volt single phase reversable cutter motor.

Anyone out there who is knowledgeable on AC motor wiring who would be prepared to offer some assistance.

All the best,
