The original subject was "Can track pads be sawcut?".
Some years ago, I posted this question, but my original post has been archived. I decided to record my results here in case anyone else has the same question:
I couldn't find a nearby welder who would cut these for me.
I bought several abrasive saw blades from Lowes, and cut the pads with my circular saw.
Very slow going, but it got the job done.
I don't remember, but I think it took like 20-30 abrasive blades. Probably not the cheapest way, but it got the job done in the absence of a competent and willing welder with his own equipment.
The only issue I have experienced is the outside of the pads (which I did NOT cut off) are slowly bending.
So far, no problems other than cosmetic.
