Yo fellas i have a hudy tire truer, my blades dull and i want the the carbide blade but cant find one, i was told that i can use an alternate blade made from a hacksaw blade if this is true which blade to use. All help is appreciated thanks...

The Blade you want is a JIG saw blade not a hacksaw blade. Your looking for a 24 TPI Bosch or Porter and Cable blade. I would install two of them with the blade teeth opposing one another. This configuration gives an awsome cut. I believe just as good as a hudy. The single blade will leave lines in the tire.


hope this helps

I guess i would remove the old hudy blade and use it as a template to make the new blades correct or does it matter.?.

I have a friend that cut the end off of a Mico tire file, and uses it in place of the cabide cutter. It works freaking awsome.

I have the Hudy Carbide Cutter for Hudy tire truer in stock.

I would put the blades on and true a fresh tire to around 62mm based on the dial settings. Whatever its off by use a dremmel and grind the back side of the blades until its the correct depth. Now if you have a Hudy truer by all means just replace it with a Hudy blade. I have a Hudy blade but it takes my truer almost 2.5 mm out of calibration on a Ofna truer.

i like hacksaw blades
the ones with the most teeth per in
i dont like the hudy bit why you ask,it gets dull and its $50.00 what a waist of money.
to me anyways.

You are wrong the Hudy carbide cutter will last 100 times or even 200 times over the hacksaw blade, at the end the Hudy carbide cutter will be cheaper.

wallyedmonds

do you know how many hacksaw blades you can get for 20.00 buck's
i had a hudy bit and took it off and sold it to someone that wanted it.
and now they to just use hacksaw blades.

The Hudy Carbide Cutter will outlast $100.00 worth of hacksaw blade, so if you are smart you do the math

wallyedmonds

thats the thing,it dosent.
the cut really gets crappy or i should say not to my liking.
and its not just me thats saying this.
