I’ve had a little tire groover for a while and wanted to have options for various cutting widths more than the 1/4” head it came with.

Today I cut up a flat brass scrap piece to make a couple of 1/8” shims for 3/8” and 1/2” can’t wait to try it out.

I also made new blade clamps out of angle so I can deepen existing voids without going too deep.

I use a propane tank top heater, single burner to help me heat the tire up. Sometimes I use a torpedo heater in the winter to help. When the tire starts to stink hot, that little grooves doesn’t have to work near as hard.
