Every time, buddy.

The hacksaw blade I'm using has about 24 teeth per inch. I didn't choose that because I know it to be best-- it's just what I had laying around. Hopefully Mr. DuVerney will let us know what he is using.

A properly hardened blade can be easily broken into short, usable pieces by clamping it in a vise and whacking it with a hammer. MAKE SURE YOU WRAP THE BLADE IN A RAG AND WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN DOING THIS!!!

Or just cut it with a Dremel

I find the hammer to be more gratifying. :)

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem.

Thanks for that.. I too will use the dremel method to shorten a blade..

You'll have more fun swinging a hammer....lol

...and if that doesn't fix it then you need a bigger hammer! :nod:

How to glue 1/12th tires :)

Great video. Thanks for posting.

+1

I'm glad these videos are of some use to you.

In the next video I will demonstrate how to true down and add a nice radius to the tire. I will also point out a few things to keep an eye out for when truing your tires. :sneaky:

Excellent, I just bought a truer :D

The videos are great, please keep them going.

Finished product from my "How to true 1/12th and 1/10th foam tires" video.

It's 24 minutes long but it has some good information in there. Keep in mind it was done in one take so I might have muddled up a few words. Besides that, I hope the video is helpful to those using a tire truer for the first time. :nod:

Below is a picture of the finished product. :)

If it hasn't loaded up yet just give it some time. It's quite a large video file.

First viewer ! :)

Nice video. I have never used a truer but I have cut my fair share of comms so I can relate.:lol: Random comment: You understandably insist on not relying on the markings for actual measurement but just for reference. What about using a plastic or metal cylinder with a known diameter to calibrate your tool placement ? Then you could rely on the graduation. It seems like it would save you a LOT of time, and you could just use the calipers at the very end as a double-check. Anyway. Thanks for taking the time to shoot this ! I will put it to use... one day.
