rob Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Yes, but when drilling a bolt hole for a wedge anchor, should I also use epoxy? Can't I just shove a sawed-off angle pin in there instead? TIA! Quote

elliottwill Posted May 25, 2008 Author Posted May 25, 2008 (edited) OK, so the OP wasn't clear. I'll restate: 1) I have a bunch of pins that are wide. 2) I want narrow ones. Why? Because they work great in the iced-up conglomerate of the Chugach, and when it's -20 F you can place them with your mittens on. 3) I was curious if I could save some $ by cutting them down "the long way" so a 1" would fit in a .5" crack. So in response, I'm hearing from Rat: don't bother, it's too much trouble. OK, thanks. That's what I was asking. Have a nice day. Edited May 25, 2008 by elliottwill Quote

rat Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 if you're set on trying it, using a vertical bandsaw might be your best bet if you can clamp the puppies down well enough. i still think you should think about trading them for the sizes you want. old snargs and warthogs work pretty well in frozen vegetated cracks too. good luck.

billcoe Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 I think you'd have high weight to low strength ratio. The opposite of what you'd really want. After all that work, you'd have a large eye with lots of metal and weight in the eye, where you don't need it, and a weak pin. Rats nailed it. put them on Ebay and buy what you want. Quote
