Cutting Down Vertx Smx.

[layne3]

Will cutting down them by about 15 mm wreck the threads and make it impossible to get the threaded starnut in and out? Thanks.

 

[brendenhuelsmann]

no it should not

Why do you want to?

Yeah, you can't use the threaded insert. you have to put in a starnut

Um, Yes you can cut it down 15mm no problem.... I have cut down a bunch of Vertx SMXs to fit different decks. You can cut them right down to the threaded insert no problem.
