Removing carriage bolts from wood

[Rudy]

Did that just yesterday while dismantling an old tent trailer. I use a GIANT Dremel tool (Rotozip) with a 1 1/4" cutoff wheel to cut the slot

The easiest and most effective way I have found is to use a dremel and a cutting disc to cut a slot in the head of the carriage bolt then use a flat-head screwdriver to hold it from spinning. Takes 20 seconds and works perfectly.
