You can use a hot knife, or a good set of sharp, heavy duty wire snips.

hoof cutters

I know you can groove them for different track conditions ie. soft loam, hard packed, etc. From what I've seen and the few sets I've ridden they hook up well.

What is the point of grooving them? Is it for MX or what?

It's mostly to taper them to the desired hook up for the track conditions. It allows you to make it hook up more or less for the conditions, and which way the tire will bite. Yes I've only seen it done in MX.

I have seen them grooved for drag racing also, they just took out whole rows.

[rippin2]

is there any cut that you can get so that they would do in like moist to hard surfaces?

[bwamos]

I would have to say no, since that is opposite ends of the spectrum. (sticky -> slick)

[rippin2]

yeah true how about just moist
