I just had a customer ask how to adjust the "Ground Plane" on his new Hudy Tire Truer. Instead of trying to explain the impossible in writing I decided to join the 21st Century and post a YouTube video. Being retired I spend entirely too much time watching machining videos on there. If they can do it why not me? I didn't have anything but a tripod and a clamp for my iPhone. I did have scrap aluminum and 1/4-20 screws so getting a mount wasn't too much trouble. The volume is way too low and I did move out of the camera view a few times. I think for a first attempt it got my point across. Let me know what you think.

Excellent. Strange but I suddenly have an urge to buy a tire machine and use it in the rain.
Are there any videos on how to use the Hudy with or without your Knob Job?
Thanks,
Mark

Great question, Mark. I plan on making videos of the Knob Job installation and calibration in the near future. Just waiting for a customer to send me their new Hudy so I can film a clean install.

Chris,
I think what needs to be done is to edit the subject line to indicate, well, the subject! I don't think Dale will mind.
OK, I'll pin it as well.

Good idea, Greg. Thank you very much.
Also, if you have any questions or run into problems getting your Hudy tire truer adjusted just give me a call. I'm retired but do have unlimited minutes on my cell. (585) 594-9446.

It is a precise measuring or "dialing" function you can cut tires to specific size every time.I know this may be a strange question...but what is this Knob Job I keep hearing about?
