i was about to jump on the $50 ones, but i have forties.... :'(

No offense, but for those prices (bigger sizes) you could buy your own "good" groover.

yota38strong · Aug 28, 2012

That is understandable but I have to add in two hours of labor per tire because I smooth out each cut so its uniform. If I could find someone to work for free I would drop prices. :****:. But the prices aren't in concrete just a ruff estimate until I can determine an exact time and materials cost. It is prob going to be around $50 each up to 36" then $100 for 37" and up depending on quantity being done ( by one person) of course the more at once the lower the price.

So buy your own groover and get after it.

The extra labor is understandable, but wasn't explained originally. I can see a drastic cut job getting expensive. Good luck with your grooving business :****:

Any more pics of your work? What groover or tools do you use? I know materials and equipment costs can add up quick!

yota38strong · Aug 28, 2012

I don't have any pics right now but I have a set of buckshots I just picked up today and I have a few sets I've cut for some friends I'll get them to send me pics and post them up and some as soon as I finish the shots. But I have a Van Alstine groover with blades from #5 5/16" up to #12 1". I use a 8" buffer with wire wheel to smooth every thing up. The best looking way I've found to do it. Equipment wasn't to bad I've got close to $1000 in every thing. It's just time consuming to clean the cuts up especially when they want them cut to the gills.

anyone who has done a full cut job on a set of 44s knows the time and labor that goes into them, its ALOT! ive cut several sets of swampers and like he said. depending on the cut job it can be very labor intensive but it brings an older tire back to life and sometime better than new and makes a new tire amazing

Finally an opinion from some one who has done a few sets.

One of the buckshots not finished still have to clean them up but figured I would post it up anyway.

Looks good! Id love to get my iroks done. One day.......

yota38strong · Aug 29, 2012

cleaned up a little

jordan7118 · Aug 30, 2012

Those look killer!

I spent about 4 hours on a set of 4 38.5 SXs on a very mild groove. I definitely see labor adding up quick. Plus, the equipment definitely isn't cheap.

Keep on, keepin' on!!!
