Having never worked with steel in my life (apart from when I made a small
hammer in CDT in school) I'm just trying to prepare myself for the worst and
have a few questions:-

1. How do you go about drilling big holes in RSJs?

With a drill bit soaked in oil. Start small and go slow and keep it well
lubed in oil and you should cut it quite well. Well at least I have


2. Is it possible to cut RSJs?

Yes with a flame cutter, you can do it with an angle grinder use a 9
inch 'tho I have cut the off large steel section with a smaller one.
Or you could use a hacksaw just apply a lot of elbow grease!..

Better still get the supplier to cut to length.

3. What are 'RSAs'? (Reinforced Steel Anchors?)

Pass on this one..

4. What is 'DURR BAR'?


Ditto,,

5. What is 'RHS'?

Ditto..

(I could probably have found out 3,4 & 5 by bothering my arse to search the
net, but hey...)
