neilkaz Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Travis, unless you are absolutely destroying 1/4" CRS get more, and even if you are it is so cheap and is useful for warmups. Get some 1/4" hex for sure as, once again, it is cheap at FNL. When you kill the hex, try some of the 1045 1/4" CRS Ben reco'd. I think you can do quite well and without messing with bolts and take good advantage of FNL just down the street from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael7 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I would go to several hardware stores and buy a bunch of different grade 2 (1/4 inch by 6 inch) hex bolts. Batchs and brands vary considerably. Personally, my HKT's were the easiest of all the HKT, BL, 307A, and SBY's that I found. Some of my BL's are as hard as the 60D's I have. On sale, you can find 10 pound boxes of these for around $10. I found these sales at L&M Fleet stores in Minnesota and Wisconson. All of the 1/4 square that I have is way harder than the 60D's I have. If you are buying bolts individually, instead of by the pound, you are probably getting the shaft. Some of the major hardware store chains that I stop at are selling 5/16 by 6 inch grade 2 bolts for almost $1 A PIECE!!! Shop around and save lots of money. Good luck with the 60D!

lone Wolf Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 You could order some 9/32" O-1 drill rod from fastenal (has to be special order). Don't quite remember if it was harder or easier than my hard 60d's--your mileage may vary!Thanks, Justin The 9/32" I tried was a little easier then a G8 inch for inch so I don't think that's be a good idea to order. Not sure if Aaron's was O1 or W1, but if it was W1 that just means this would be harder. The 9/32" O-1 at 7' was a tad easyier than the 1/4"x7" FBBC Sq.

Justin Reagan Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Maybe I got some easy drill rod that time, because the 9/32" I got wasn't near as hard as the 1/4" square...but I haven't bent that size in a while, though. Never mind my suggestion, then! Thanks, Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthcarl Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 OK you guys, enough egghead steel rating Travis is working on the 60d and all of this could be a litte confusing. Stick to the basics: 1/4" HRS, 1/4" CRS, then you have the 60d. O-1 drillrod, even 1/4", is harder than a 60d in my opinion, so all the discussion about O-1 and W-1 9/32" is probably not going to help.
