Another reason not to  thread all of the way on longer bots and then cut them 
to size is heat. When  you cut a bolt or threaded rod, the heat from the 
cutting process weakens  the metal around the cut area. Also, it is harder to 
start a threaded rod or  bolt that has been cut because you do not have the 
start  section.
