Hell you got a fancy cuttin tool all we use is a butter knife and motor oil here in IL.aaron

We use a Saws All with a blade that we make out of another blade that is used up. We let it do the work instead of our arms with the cutter. We use it afterwards to clean up and make it look good.

Could you explain how you use a butter knife and oil. Dave

The saws all will get alot of it but if you want to make boggers really flex you need to peel them right down to the cords. And for that you need a groover, or a butter knife and oil??????

Get a butter knife and motor oil dip the knife in and start cutting,you would be amazed how quick it takes a lug off,once you get a rythm going it only takes a matter of seconds then fine tune with a grinder.We have done 4 sets like this,just get some beer and some buddies and go at it.aaron

I don't want to sound "ignert" but the butterknife and oil thing has me in awe.!? Do you heat up the butter knife? Does it have a sharp edge?
Sincerely lost, Dave

No heat,not a steak knife just a plain o`l butter knife,I actually welded a screwdriver to it to make it easier but thats it,you just have to try it,I didnt believe it either but we have done 4 sets that way

The oil is the trick.
Lubricated rubber lugs cut pretty easy.

Sounds interesting . Lets see a pic of the knife!
Doesnt it have some kind of serrations to it? Even the little bitty teeth. Or is it one of those fancy restaraunt types with the angled tip and the slightly sharp front edge?

Yes, the little bitty teeth are what does it. It takes arm power, but, works. Aaron and I have done 4 sets and I just bought another set of 35x14 boggers we're going to do it on them soon.

We tried a sawzall, but, the teeth kept plugging up with rubber, the blade won't stay straight, etc.

I use a sawzall w/ a wood cutting 9" blade to cut out the center lugs and the big chunk at the end of each lug where it meets the sidewall. Never clogs, but does get bent. Then my yung'un uses an iron just like Deans nephew in the pictue to do the rest. On the last set he did , he was tired of waiting on me to cut the center lugs, so he did them all with the iron!

I wonder how a little motor oil on the sawzall blade would do?
Probably look like John Force had been doing a burnout in my shop w/ all the smoke!!

Larry

We use the saw sall blade and grind in into a knife type blade and use a knife sharpener on it after every other lug or as needed. This is used to cut the bulk out of the way. Then we use the iron to dress it up and get to the cords. Guess I didn't make it clelar before sorry fellows.

I am sure the answer to this question is obvious since all of you guys cut your boggers, but does it make that big of a difference? I have 35x14.5 boggers and was hoping to use them on the street and for off road. Being uncut will they climb at all or just spin. I guess I could buy a different set for the street.

On the street they will wear down quick on you after cutting them. Uncut you won't get the traction you would if they are cut. Climbing

They are so stiff that you need to cut them in order to get them to flex and bite on roots and rocks.
