I save all discarded carbide blades that fit my table and skill saw for scrap type jobs, for instance a short video cutting the bead from a tire mounted on aluminum rim.
Much quicker than sawsall and saves on blades. The blade I now have in the saw has some rubber vulcanizing onto the sides slowing it down a bit.

My yard buys aluminum rims with tire for a set price. Without tire, the price is about $1.00 more, but don't have to deal with taking the tire off this way. May want to check yards to have a better decision with this.
(They do not buy steel rims with tires on it though)
We buy them both ways.
I have only did two & used a angle grinder to cut thru the tire beads.
Someone else said they use a axe to break up part of the Ali rim & then thread the tire bead thru the gap, sounds easyer.
i use a husqvarna k750 gas powered saw cuts through the tires and rim through the bead with ease
Nice now I have that Lumberjack song stuck in my head. "The chain saw loved what?" "That's the way we like it!"Quote:
