we have one at work i dunno wher ewe got it from but i can find out. From what i can remember they are damm expensive though. It might be better of trying to find one that you can borrow.

My old man has one.
That doesnt help much though with me on the other side of the country

.
You should be able to borrow one from somebody easy enough though. Most trucking companies have them to get a bit more wear out of their tyres.
They can be a bit tricky to use (buy a packet of spare tips!) but once you get the hang of them they slice tyre rubber like butter.

Where do you live?
If you are in Sydney I could bring mine up one weekend and show you how to use it, or do them for you -- no charge just supply pizza and a couple of beers

and we'll have them done in an afternoon.

Have you check with Ian Boettcher Raceparts in Ipswitch? Most guys cut their own speed way tires.

Check out a motor bike shop, I have used em for road bike tyres for racing, I would imagine some of the bike shops in Brisvegas would have em. Happy carvin!

You could try a Router aswell, is all my old man used to use on his truck tyres and it worked.
