Seriously ! Just cut the bolt to length, and dress the end with a grinder or file. Just unscrewing the nut will roll the thread straight but without a taper the squared off threads will be difficult to start.
You can’t educate pork mate , this is the extent of people’s skill set , just pure hacks. He want read your comment and think bloody hell so that’s how you do it
That’s cute bud. It’s just a quick way of doing it if you need to smash out a load of small bolt cuts. With the larger thread size you would file down the end 👍🏼
@@builtbyblokes you’re just showing your ignorance now, your tip is just a hack and nothing else , the correct way is to dress the ends . Your tip will leave people with galled threads
And another tip - clamp the bolt head in the vice, not the threaded end. The cut piece is un-needed so when it falls to an unreachable/unknowable spot under the work bench as the cut off piece always seems to do, it won't matter. And - the cut bolt in the vice will cool off a bit quicker because of heat transferred into the vice....so handling it sooner is safer. FWIW - I have used this trick for a long time - but I also dress/taper the threads on the tip a bit to make it easier to start.
Use guards use a file or grinder if all else but buy a taper but for your drill run it on after cutting it tapers cleans initial thread removing any damaged parts nut and bolt cut the file if by hand and hacksaw is efficient and steady but use a guard when cutting bolts no reason not too 😂👌🤔🫡 🏴 just cutting and not tapering on stainless will gall it up quicker don't do it or regret it binding halfway on or off 🫣🤔🫡
My mains grinder has a guard on but the battery one doesn’t as the discs are to big to fit. This is just a quick way of doing it. I’d never do with stainless as like you say they will definitely bind up and ruin the thread. I would absolutely be using a taper but if I had one!
I’ve done this with a die before it works pretty good

Not if you cut it right!

Been doing just this for over 30 years. But you should dress the new end of the thread too
Thanks mate appriciate that however hope u don’t get sparks on ur z4
HA - without a guard on the cutoff wheel- what a FW
