I have lots O tricks. ;-)
These blades have been around for years actually.
I have a 48 tooth and I have done as I said w/ it.
I believe now they have a 38 tooth designed for thicker
metals. My 48 is sweet though.
I cut thru that 1" thick slab in 2 passes, I could have done
it in one. WEAR...
That blade is AWSOME. I have cut maybe 30 lineal feet of .25" steel plate w/
it prior to this and it could do 50 more of these I am sure. No real
blatent signs of giving up yet. Incredible, a Skillsaw to cut 1" steel
plate...Welcome to the 21st Century.
The math / CAD drawings didn't lie. I could easily in the future
place the truck in a nose up attitude of 21.5* and the same w/ the
trailer but azz high and one little bump and I would be pounding
one into another so off it comes. I just grabbed my Skillsaw
and yelled "This one is for the...
Yes Driller, all points valid. If there were any easy fit extension I would go
that route but looks like I am going to be chopping this thing off. I just
hate to do stuff like that for fear of someday wishing I had not done it.
True, an M916 is a monster and tall but they made this thing that...
A plate is easy to draw, and being fluent in AUTOCAD 2D it is a no
brainer but what is of concern is the bolts that connects it all.
Long bolts = Leverage, and Shear, are extremely powerful forces.
I expect to hit max 25,000 pounds easy plus I want at least a 1.5 overage
Driller if it is the PINTLE and it has 4 bolts it will not work. (My pintle has 2 bolts)
If it is the Lunette RING and it has 4 bolts it is close but I need more than 4 inches
but if four we are not far far 6 and I would love o see a pic.
No matter I SO APPRECIATE the effort...
I just re-read this and I may have err'd Driller.
My "pintle" is a two bolt, (It is about an 8" or so spread)
The Lunette ring bolt pattern is 4.5" x 4.5" with 4 bolts.
No kidding? Wow...I am glad I didn't just hack it off. My math says 6-8" is alls I need.
Keep me posted. Very interested. I think my pintle bolt pattern is 4.5" x 4.5" .
Exactly....except I am so anal about cutting something I "might" need someday! Ha!
I have been chewing on this all day and I the resolve will probably be to just
cut it but not until I exhaust all resources on a storbought resolve.
Gimp, The removal of the roller removes all kinds of stuff I need. I have time.
Derrick, Interesting...I wonder what the dims are. That could be a great starting point
and add gusetting... If anyone has that from 12" or so section I would love detailed
pics and some quick dims. I have 4.5" x...
So I either have to cut off the Vertical Lunette Ring Mount welded to the trailer for clearance
from the Roller to the Vertical Lunette Mount, or I need to extend the Lunette Ring or
the pintle hitch itself.
Are there any extensions that can be bought or am I fabricating?
I kinda do not want...
