    Good idea. I made an adapter starting with a small diesel flex plate that goes in the rim clamp jaws, then a welded extension up to a round plate that has slots for even lug rims, and a 70 deg. slot for 5 hole. You have to bolt the wheel down with two bolts, but then I can usually use the duck bill and the machines rotation.

  • @hayesrutherford9415

    Well done! I fully agree about the dish soap. Aluminum rims should look pristine inside.with no corrosion but not the case when liquid dish soap was used. I use it to demount tires and then fully clean the rim, install new tire with RU-Glide. Have used much larger bicycle tubes with a twist/lap.

    I go the extra mile and use a grinder to obliterate most of the pertinent data from the sidewalls like date of manufacture and serial numbers. This prevents scavengers from the dumpsters of pulling it out of the recycling dumpster and place it in the trash dumpster. If authorities wanted to take the time to track the information and charge you with improper disposal when it’s not your fault.

  • @niviuk8335
    @niviuk8335 Před 5 měsíci

    Use Carbide Blades (not the bimetal ones) and wet the tire before cutting . I regularly cut up old car tires. The blades that worked best are those carbide blades with tiny teeth. They get very hot during use and may lose teeth cutting the steel ring at full speed in the tire without cooling. But carbide does not like to get shock cooled. So it worked best for me to reduce cutting speed and to cut wet tires (moisture cools the blade gently).

So i am trying to learn the best technique, and and tools for this. Now… what i am missing in this video, is to see your cut from where you cut the tire crossover, so that is can be hold with wood, in the second cut in the video.. its like you letout this cut, and this is what is abit hard to comprehend. Could you shed some light on this? Thanks✌️

      @@thetinkeringold-timer6934 id love to see it on a video. Me, i have basicly build a tall table, with i can place the tirein around 80 cm, to get a good angle with the reciprocating saw.. but ive tried maybe 4 different kinds of blades, and its hard to get any solid “this is what to do”.. my best blades seems to be some wood blades with uneven teeth on them, and cutting/sawing in an uneven angle, where i can pull down while sawing. Ive tried to clamp the tires, but the clamps just loosing very quick. So ive actually placed a board with some weights ontop, so hold it down, and its pretty okayish.. however i still feel improvements is to be made.. ive tried several times of using a metal blade with small fine teets, but it just seems to grind against the rubber. I see you points in clamping it down, with a piece of wood, but yea.. it requires an initial cut where such clamping isnt an option, because of the round shape… also id like to tackle the beads with better tools, because angle grinder causes fume, smell and smoke instant, so i am trying to figure out witch cutter to go for.. ive broke in 2 bolt cutterjaws already, because they werent strong enough in their steel. So i am trying to figure out what hrc value those wires/rings of steel in the tires are made off, to not brake yet another cutter in this learning process. Hydralic cutters seems to be the best, but they cost way to much for me. Have also tried to figure out of recipprocating saw can cut the beads, but i guess it will grind the blades down faily quick.. oh yea.. i forgot to mention, i work indoors 😊
