im just planning on making two passes in each of the middle tread blocks in my tsls, hopefully it wont take too long
i wish i had the $$ to get one of those 400 dollar machines, but i could think of alot better things to do with 400 bucks

the last time i grooved mine one of them sat off the truck outside overnight and had a bit of morning dew on it when i started grooving it. that mist of water helped speed things up a bunch. i just used a spray bottle to keep the tread just moistened enough to help the blade but not enough to cool it.. saved me nearly half the time...

ive always heard to elt the tires sit out in the sun for a bit before grooving, and the best time is in the warmer months
when i cut my old set of bogger with the sharpened sawzall blades they didnt seem to care...?
