[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 343852, member: 483"] I have a Rillfit 4. I've only used it once in the past to take half of each center lug out of a set of Iroks. Back then it was super easy. It took about 30 mins per tire and it cut through like a hot knife through butter on setting 1. I think I used 2 blades. That was about 4-5 years ago. Now I am trying to cut up a set of boggers and it is fighting me every step of the way. Settings 1 & 2 aren't hot enough and settings 3 and 4 melt the blade in 1 second flat. I've tried pre-heating a lug with a heat gun with no discernible difference. Small blades, large blades, none seem to want to cut right, all require me to really push though when I know that the heat should be pulling itself through. Of course, pushing so hard often results in shooting out the back side of the lug and hitting the next lug with a hot blade, bending and ruining it. It took about 6 hours yesterday to do 1/8 of a tire, experimenting with different techniques and finding none that worked. Anyone got any advice? [/QUOTE]
