The Truer
This truer is extremely well designed and manufactured, a testament to Italian craftsmanship. Reading the instructions you are told that 10 prototypes were designed and built before the production machine was finalised. This shows as the machine is well thought out and easy to use for both the beginner and professional.
This machine can true wheels/tyres signally or in pairs. Two styles of attachments are available for the axle sizes available a long spindle axle holder which takes two wheels and a mono wheel attachment which can be used for plastic wheels/tires or truing wheels individually. Truing a pair of tyres together is a great advantage if you are after the perfect set of racing rubber.
Materials were selected for the truer have been selected “with the double intent of obtaining high reliability at a limited cost, using the best technologies available on the market”. You can see the quality of machining with the CNC witness marks on the machined metal parts. The machine is very well presented with a compact well though out layout and stylish appearance.
The truer consists of sturdy assembly frame which houses the motor, sanding drum, and axle holder which will accommodate tyres and wheels up to 30mm in diameter. The axle assembly is simply and accurately adjusted by rotating a centrally located “turn handle” which slides the axle holder along two sturdy rails. A threaded rod is provided on one side of the sliding axle assembly to provide an accurate depth gauge when you need to true a number of wheel/tyre sets or matching wheels when using the mono wheel attachment.
A variable power supply providing 12v, 3amp min is required to run the truer.
The truer also has a double gorge entaining pulley on the wheel axle which allows the wheel/drum relative speeds to be selected to suit silicone, sponge and rubber tyres. This plus the variable power settings from the power supply allow you to set the truer up to suit your specific needs. Two “O” rings drive the tyre axle and sanding drum via the motor. The sanding drum can be fitted with three grades of abrasive rolls to suit your preference 120-150-180 grit.
Tyre truing is a messy business with rubber flying everywhere, however this unit is better than most as it direct the majority of machined spoil into the bottom draw. An extractable panel at the bottom of the machine can be removed by sliding it out for easy cleaning of the machine. You will still make some mess but nowhere as much as others that I have used.
The machine is easily disassembled for adjusting and replacing sanding drums, belts and cleaning. Four sturdy bolts at the top of the machine provide access to sanding drum which easily pops out of its bearing holders.
