putting rubber on steel

Anonymous-0 · Jan 12, 2010

Hey guys, I need help for cutting steel belted rubber tires to put on steel implement wheels. What is the best tool to use? I am going to have to cut through the steel belting because I only need it to be 4 inches wide. Thanks for any help.

A sawzall. Reciprocating saw.

I'd try using a reciprocating saw running slowly so that it does not melt the rubber.

some dish soap helps to lube the blade too!!

A sawsall with a metal cutting blade, and the dish soap idea is a real good one. I'd mark a cutting line somehow, so you get a even edge.

If they can be found, try recap company like Firestone. They had material called "camelback". If I remember right would be about the right size for your project. Dave
