old tires get as hard as concrete. the sebenza might not have ended up as sharp but it seems to cut a lot easier.thanks for the video

Cool vids! Nice to see someone actually use their seb other than just spread peanut butter on bread with it.

Hi So-l0,

Interesting test. What was the beginning condition of each edge?

Sal,

I sharpen freehand and do not know the exact angle for all, I know they are all (well not the ZDP SE Endura) around 12 per side and finished on your 306 UF. LOVE that stone for touchup!

I am hoping these demos will show what grind geometry does when cutting thick stuff that has a ton of friction. :cool:


However I will not claim any scientific testing in any of the Tire Cut videos! :D
 
Three more videos added to the original post, I'll also post them here so you don't have to scroll up :cool:

Great videos!

You really have something against tires huh?

Just kidding my friend, Thank you for the videos and your time making them. :)
 
Thanks for the videos! Once again, I love hollow grind blades! They just seem to work the best for me and friction seems to be less of an issue as to other grinds. Forgot to ad, a SE blade is always handy when cutting things like that! I always have one on me when doing work on the farm.

I'd bet a Millie or Para would eat up a tire too.

You still have your D2 Para?;)
 
I missed these!

I have done a few tire cuts myself. I just finished doing some fairly extensive tire cutting (see below) with a Stretch II (PE) ZDP-189. Not sure how long it will take me to edit it to a digestible length, but I would be happy to share it if you are interested.

Lol :D how many cars have you had over the years?
nice videos So-lo, if only for the carnage
I also found the xm-18 to be a not so good slicing knife, sabre grind, thick blade and all.

good job
