Making Bolts for the Headstock and Front axle

Cheap way around buying stainless bolts..

I say cheap, but what I really mean is better, with a zinc coated thread, and a stainless bolt head and nut, you never have to worry about the nut seizing on the thread.

PTW, I use a portable bandsaw in place of the die grinder with the cutting disk. No sparks and much cooler, not as much heat either.
Just a thought.
