That's the most over built tire truer I've ever seen.

Glad I could give you some help.

On your saw blade holder, you might get a smoother cut, and less chance of chunking the foam off the wheel if it were angled 30-45 degrees off vertical, makes the foam cut profile more of an angle, and will let you get tires down to size in fewer passes.
