| Re: cutting a 15" track down to a 13" Ive seen a few done. They did what you are doing, but used a band saw instead as they are not as tempermental as a table saw and will hold a straight line better. Go slow to try to melt the cut to seal. We called the F7 the Chainsaw of death after as that narrow track really likes to cut a trench. good luck |

| Re: cutting a 15" track down to a 13" All Firecats from '03 to '06 are a 13.5" wide track. That 151 x 2" x 13.5" flipper should make that F7 climb. You loose floatation with the narrow track on the Firecats ofcousre but the narrow track is easier to spin (track speed) and in the right snow conditions the long track firecats really go! The F7 is a powerhouse... keep us posted on how thing go. Happy cutting  Watch the fingers!

| Re: cutting a 15" track down to a 13" I would suggest a short wood blade on a saber saw/ sawsall, mark your cut line in a white paint pen and get a couple buddies to stretch it out some how and stablize the area your cutting and go thru one layer at a time but a table saw would be a little sketchy, good luck and why!!!! |
