What happens here

With the tire pattern marked, the heated groover is used to cut the grooves. The technique involves holding the tool perfectly flat against the tire and pushing it forward along the marked lines. The heat from the blade melts the rubber, creating a clean cut. The presenter demonstrates the correct method and contrasts it with an incorrect method of pushing too hard or at an angle, which can bend or break the blades. They emphasize maintaining steady, even pressure and keeping the tool aligned with the marked lines to ensure a consistent groove depth and width. As the tool cuts, melted rubber strips are discarded.

Goal: Carefully cut the marked straight lines into the tire treads using the heated groover, ensuring a clean and consistent cut.

share his experiences of his so sam's making this look really easy so just watch real close how he's doing this because what i do is mine starts riding up he's keeping his perfectly flat that's the key i would say that this is a very viable alternative to on average we used about one to two blades per one of these tires and it took about one to two hours per tire to do see he wrote out that was a it happens but that's how you that's how i wrecked the blade rode out and pushed too fast see that's what you don't want to do it didn't it didn't bend it at all but you push too hard through there and you know hit that yeah that didn't bend it thankfully but me [Music] this is what's left this is the cutout from the tires
