Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Cutting / Groving / Siping R-4 for snow

[KenB2920]

I have a PORTER-CABLE PCE605K 3-Amp Corded Oscillating Multi-Tool. I think I may try it on one of my lug's tomorrow. It is a great tool for cutting trim and removing grout. It has a built in depth gauge also.

So how did the oscillating tool work?

Don't they use something like a oscillating tool to remove broken arm casts. I doubt it will work:2cents:

No clue. Either oscillating or die grinder I.D assume.

I’d never use an oscillating tool on a tire but I’m still curious to see how it worked. I have a groover that works awesome and has done several sets of tires. Mine and others.

I would assume the oscillating tool would jump around a little and be inconsistent with depth. I could be wrong and that’s why I’m curious.

We use an oscillating saw with fine teeth- it gets pretty warm, but won't cut skin.

I doubt an oscillating tool would work well in this application.

I agree. I've used an oscillating tool, and it's great for certain applications, but having cut rubber with a knife I don't think it would work well for grooving tires.

Get the right tool for the job and it will go 100x better.

Talked to the local Tire dealer. When the tires are new, they could put in screw-in studs. They work well on ice, but can be hard on pavement. We don稚 have any pavement so it would have been a better choice, though the grooves certainly help.

Those are packing nicely with snow- and mine look just about identical, so I won't post 'em.

I absolutely need to prioritize this next year. I've had the cutter for 2 years now. I've been sliding up and down my driveway the whole time.

You could also put some metal screws into the lugs.

Thats what I did as a kid in order to ride my dirt bike on ice. I put s short sheet metal screw in each lug of a knobby tire. Worked great! I left them in all year.

I did this in the tracks on my fourwheeler; I found that they wore fast and were backing out. Only left them in the one season... but traction was amazing!
