Thanks for the kind words guys...

Finster,

Here are a couple of photos that might help on the tire detail

I make pattern out of poster board and divide it into the desired number of cuts to be made..
Mark the spacings on the tire..
Cut a 2X4 at 30 degrees and drill a 1/4 inch hole to take the bolt ( axel shaft)
Note the red arrow..Each mark should allign on the arrow..Run the wheel throught the saw and advance to the next mark..
Set the table saw sled at 30 degrees and set the fence so that the wheel stops at a point where the center of the cut is at the center of the wheel..Always bump the wheel up to the fence on each pass to assure proper spacing..
Set the depth of the blade by making passes through scrap until the desired depth is attained..
I hope this helps..
