Andymark’s 1" wide blue nitrile tread is currently out of stock. We planned to use this with the SDS billet wheels. Are there any other suppliers for the same or similar kind of tread?
McMaster carries it (but you have to cut it to 1" width yourself; a bandsaw works pretty well for this).
I have also found that if you want really straight cuts, a metal shear works exceptionally well with that exact tread (we’re using the black version of that this year). For some reason the cut is terrible with the tread facing down, so make sure you place it in oriented with the grippy side up.
I’ve always used a sharp box cutter for the best cuts. It’s harder to get perfectly straight lines but with ad edge guide you’ll end up with cuts that are as good as the factory edge. Cutting from the black side facing up.
We accidentally ordered 1.5" wide for our 1" wide wheels.
Box cutter + Straight edge
As I was typing this out lol. I was/am big time dumb and didn’t double check my sizes before I clicked the order button. This is an important lesson kids, don’t rush to order just because you can.
