Yea, if you did it, it wouldn’t be that hard, I think… I can’t mod well 😛 Just do it as though it was a schmoove, but a lot less deep, and a lot more lines. Just keep prodding the yoyo with the screwdriver at random places.

I have done it. I can’t say it turned out too well, though. One side wasn’t done the same as the other.

Anyway, what I did was put it on a drill, and with it spinning at a high speed, i took the tip of a pocket knife and started cutting at the inner edge of the grinding surface then worked my way out.

Even with a lathe it’s a little difficult.

Do you mean difficult to get the actual grooves or to get them consistent?

Consistency, I would think the grooves are no problem… except to me! 😃
