depends on what you want. I have seen some impressive work done with a small chain saw(on outer lugs) I have always wanted to try using a router myself

 

[erslll]

A groover. Not that expensive. $60-70. Google is your friend.


I tried a router once and it didn't work well at all.

ive heard of chainsaws working good and chainsaw blades on grinders
i was thinkin maybe a 5-15 dollar blade or a dollar in gas is about all im spendin

you mean like this? I use this for carving soft wood and its the scaryist tool I own. I cant imagine trying to use it on rubber. Better have one heck of a grip and good health insurance.

nice handguard there That thing does look really scary...I can see fingers flying already!:eeek:

Someone on here said they used a circular saw to groove their tires...something about a quart of motor oil to lube it?

 

[79chevy39.5's]

yea like that when it was done it looked just like regular grooved tires in the pics and wouldnt a circular saw be too skinny

skilsaw

i once used a skilsaw (worm drive cir saw) to groove some 50% SSR's, just set the blade about a quarter inch deep and go, doesnt make a very wide groove though, and it makes some smoke, pretty ghetto, but it made the tires work much better on hardpack snow.

thats exactly what i was tryin to work on

I'll do any design for 10 a tire. Unless its a 42 or bigger.

EDIT: I cannot groove tires til March.

I did mine with a small electric chainsaw it worked real well. It was fast and no smoke. I did try the big Stihl and it was alot harder to control.

i think im just gunna buck up and buy a groover and hope people will pay me to groov their tires too
