I'm looking for the best way to cut a 3/8" bolt and still be able to screw things onto it - suggestions?

Laser beams.

I think the last step in most methods involves a trip to Home Depot to buy a new bolt the proper length.
- Ken Sheppardson
Screw a die on before cutting the bolt. Screw the die off to remove the burrs. You should be able to screw things on after that. If you don't have a die set on hand, then it's probably cheaper and easier to follow Ken's suggestion.
- Gary Burd
The problem is I need a 6" or so threaded rod and they only sell them in longer sizes at Home Depot. That would be the easiest solution if I could find one.
- Jesse Stay
Well if you want to experiment, you might grab a few of the largest nuts you can find that'll fit on the rod. You could put a couple on the rod to let you grab it in a vice to hold it, then thread two on with just enough of a gap in between them that they'll guide your hacksaw blade. Taking the nut off once the rod is cut may or may not have the same effect as the die Gary suggested.
- Ken Sheppardson
Another option is to file the burrs off after cutting the rod.
- Gary Burd
I think we got it working. Because we could thread it from both ends I could do with an end that was unthreadable. I think it worked - thanks guys!

"Cool feature, gives validity to the "Likes" feature, but I prefer to read things in the order Reader fetches them. I always "sort by oldest" and trudge through the feeds until they're all read. I'm stubborn that way. Course, I also only follow people (on Reader) I know and whose shares I'm interested in, and I only subscribe to feeds whose content is at least 80% relevant to me (unless I'm related to them... cough, Jesse, cough, cough...). Maybe I'm missing out on some valuable feeds that way, but I'm pretty satisfied with it. It's like my own, personal, semi-interactive newspaper. I don't understand all the "big" bloggers who try to use Twitter, FriendFeed, or even Facebook to replace it. I guess they're trying to use these services much differently than I do."
