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.

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