An apparatus is provided for use in preparing the inner surface of a tire for the application of a patch so that, for example, the tire may be equipped with various electronic devices. The apparatus facilitates improved operation of a grinder or buffer so that the grinding depth and surface area prepared for patch application can be more precisely controlled. Adjustment for different tires sizes and models is provided.
